Her tweet and Facebook post was shared more than 1,000 times but now Bryony Davies has found the fellow Norwich City supporter who she helped following the match at Carrow Road on Saturday.
The 20-year-old, from Norwich, was heading home after watching Norwich City's clash against Barnsley when she spotted a man who seemed to be struggling with the wet pavement.
Stopping, she offered to help him walk to the train station where a taxi was waiting for him. He told her that he has Parkinson's and his walking stick does not work in the rain.
