Do you know a Manchester United fan who went travelling in New Zealand when the team won the treble in 1999?

A campervan company are trying to trace the mystery fan after discovering a diary chronicling his travels around the world 16 years ago.

The timeworn Warwick 1B4 exercise book was discovered by travellers in Queenstown, New Zealand inside a campervan they had rented.

Traveller Romain Toulouzet, was with his girlfriend Clare, when they stumbled across the battered jotter.

Tourist Mr Toulouzet, from New Caledonia, said: “It was between the fridge and the chair. We opened it, but we didn’t read it.”

It was handed over to workers at Mighty Cars and Campers, who are determined to solve the mystery and reunite it with its owner.

The diary details the English teacher’s travels through New Zealand, Thailand and Nepal.

And now a manhunt is underway to trace the author of the diary, who writes of his passion for football and his late-night escapades with women in the book entitled ‘Diary of Experiences and Training 1999’.

Olivia Bellini, Communications Coordinator for Tourism Holdings Limited, the parent company which owns Mighty Cars and Campers, said: “We’d love to return the journal to its owner and find out more about his travels around New Zealand as I am sure he’ll have a lot of great stories to share.”

So who is it?

This is what we know about the mystery traveller:

He supported Manchester United

His birthday is on April 12

He had been travelling for 22 and a half months

He was a fitness fanatic, and wrote about his exercise regime in detail

He bedded a fellow traveller from Seattle named Kim

Family described as ‘Mum, Daniel, Edward, Sarah and Nick’

An excerpt from the diary:

On his night of passion, he wrote: “Bus into Christchurch. 5 1/4m run (Hagley Park). Spend eve with Kim from Seattle. Lovely girl. One thing led to another and ended up going to bed with her. Stayed at her B&B.

“Unfortunately had 7am bus to catch from my backpacker several kms away so left warm bed and woman shortly after 5. Jogged along dark streets and made bus.”

And according to the Man U fan’s diary, the mystery Brit departed New Zealand on March 24, 1999, to travel to Bangkok.

He then caught a night bus to Chiang Mai and spent several days in Thailand before jetting out to Kathmandu.

He wrote about celebrating his birthday in the Nepalese mountains, and then returned to Kathmandu and wrote about his beloved Manchester United getting through to the 1999 Champions League final for the first time since 1968.

The diary reads: “Found out United through to the final of European cup - p*ss up with the lads in the pm, dancing etc.”

He then flew back home to Manchester on May 1, saying that he was greeted by “Mum, Daniel, Edward, Sarah and Nick”.

The diary’s final entries indicate that he may have been living in the northern part of England at the time.
