An English football club fan has reportedly travelled about 250,000 miles following her club, which is approximately the equivalent of ten times around the world.
According to the Mirror, Jane Utley went to her first match at Championship side Barnsley F.C. with her father when she was only six years old and since then has attended every first and reserve team fixture home and away, missing only two games in 25 years.
Touting Utley as 'incredible', a club spokesman said that Utley attends more matches than many people actually at the club, adding that she knows all the players and the staff also knows her by name.
According to Utley, she never got married although her father used to say that she married herself to Barnsley.
