Football fans are a strange breed, and they will often go above and beyond the call of duty to support their clubs.

And Peter Crouch has rewarded one fan for his erm... superb fandom, because he turned up to a match in nothing but a pair of SPEEDO'S.

Crouch responded to a supporter request on twitter when Stoke fan Tyrone Sidley a.k.a @stokemadsidders asked if he would give him his match shirt if he donned the swimwear to their match with Southampton.

The former England star agreed that he would, providing Tyrone turned up in Speedo's and nothing else.

Stoke teammate Charlie Adam then got in on the act, challenging Tyrone to turn up in Speedo's, goggles, flippers and snorkel in order to earn his shirt.

All too happy to oblige to the challenge, the Stoke-mad supporter tweeted both stars when he was en route to the match in the full attire.

Crouch then caught up with Tyrone after the match to give him his prize and celebrate a final day win before later tweeting about meeting the Speedo-wearing superfan.

The 36-year-old got the only goal of the game as the Potters beat Southampton 1-0 to finish the season off in 13th place in the Premier League.

The victory would have sent Stoke fans home happy, although there will be one fan going home happier than most... probably still in his Speedos.
