So for the first match of the Premier League season my colleague Fabrice invited me to the Wallace to watch Fulham’s match with Liverpool.

I put on my Fulham shirt and walked across Lyon to the pub – looking for any recognition on the way.
And I got some – one barman pointed to his chest and smiled as he nodded at my shirt. I think that was encouragement.
I headed upstairs at the Wallace singing: Mitro’s on fire – to be met by a wall of Reds supporters, largely from Mauritius.

But the result was better than I could have dreamed of.
