Bangladesh farmer lifetime Germany fan club member
When Magura's Amzad Hossain made a 3.5 km long
German flag to hail his team in the World Cup, little did he know what
it would yield!
Not only the Charge d'Affaires of the German Embassy went to see it, but
Hossain also got a lifetime membership of the official fan club of
Philipp Lahm's team.
German Charge d'Affaires Ferdinand von Weyhe went to Magura on Saturday to see the flag made by the peasant.
Weyhe
announced to award Hossain a lifetime membership of the fan club. He
was also given a football and a flag of the German national team.
Hossain
says that he didn't make the 3.5 km long flag keeping in mind anything
but to express his love for his favourite football team.
While
speaking to reporters on Saturday, he said that the next time he would
make an even longer flag and that he would invite a thousand people to
his home for a feast if the Germans clinch the World Cup this time.
Hossain,
who hails from Ghoramara village, sold a 50 decimal land to raise the
money to create the flag, which cost him Tk 150,000.
He had employed three tailors, who were paid over Tk 40,000, to sew together the over three-kilometre long flag.
