An England fan from Greater Manchester has spoken about his quest to get a pint at the Qatar World Cup – but says the booze ban hasn't dampened spirits.
Tom O'Dea, 39, from Shaw in Oldham, is in the gulf state with two pals, and is enjoying his fourth World Cup having previously watched the Three Lions in South Africa, Brazil and Russia.
He is booked on an organised package which includes return flights from London and ten nights' accommodation in an apartment in a fan village on the outskirts of Doha, which set him back just over £1,000.
