The six million mile man

Football is a labour of love for many fans, but Arsenal supporter Nesan Sinnadurai has upped the bar of commitment with his show of devotion.

Every other weekend, Sinnadurai makes a round-trip from the US state of Georgia to the Emirates, clocking up 9000 air miles in the process.

For a Saturday trip to north London, the 63-year-old self-employed IT consultant will board a Friday morning flight from Atlanta for the 15-hour journey to Heathrow via Houston.

The Sri Lankan has been a fan of Arsenal since 1967 and claims to have amassed six million air miles.

He claims to spend £20,000 a year on watching Arsenal and says he lost his job and £400,000 home on account of taking so much time off work.

Sinnadurai is married with children and says of his wife in The Sun: "She thinks I'm crazy."
