Manchester City’s oldest fan had a surprise visit from the club captain this week.

Vincent Kompany dropped in for a cuppa with 101-year-old Vera Cohen at her Didsbury home. 

The mother-of-four, grandmother-of-seven and great-grandmother-of-15 has been a staunch City supporter since the 1920s and still tries to attend all home games at the Etihad Stadium. She and her 96-year-old sister Olga — who also met Kompany — have been season ticket-holders for decades.

“We got the shock of our lives,” Mrs Cohen told the JC. “He gave me a big kiss. He’s such a gentleman.”
