Nigeria international Tolu Arokodare was surprised by a personal message from Jan, a KLM flight attendant and devoted supporter of Ajax.
Jan had recognised the 25-year-old striker’s name on the passenger list and contacted him after spotting that he was travelling with the airline.
Arokodare was moved by the gesture and responded on social media: “Someone (Jan) has just earned my shirt.”
The forward, who has been selected again for the Nigeria national team, was decisive for Ajax on Sunday by scoring the opening goal against FC Twente.
