Tearful Manolo el del Bombo pleads for help to take his drum into stadiums FIFA World Cup 2018 - Spain Famous fan denied by strict security measures

Spain's most famous fan, Manolo el del Bombo, who has followed the national team around the world and played his drum wherever he has gone, was in tears at being unable to bring the instrument into Russian stadiums.

He is now asking for intervention from Spain's prime minister Pedro Sanchez to allow him to play the drum from now on.

"I think it is wrong that after ten World Cups that I have not been allowed to take in the drum," he said.

"Someone needs to take action even if it is the Spanish prime minister."
