Brilliant football fan celebration videos
Look at this. It's the South Wales derby (Cardiff City vs Swansea City), you don't expect half-hearted celebrations. But this camera angle? That noise? Yes to it all.

This next video is from the SEVENTH tier of English football. On a Tuesday night! That's what makes the English game special and unique.
Scenes in the away end as Halesowen Town took the "Number 9" derby vs Stourbridge in a 3-4 win.
Named after the bus route between the two.
803 Yeltz at Stourbridge. Could have been 5k for the noise.

Have a listen to this celebration noise at San Siro. That's a proper European-style roar. Thankfully, the grand old stadium has been saved from demolition recently. AC Milan and Inter are still looking to move away, but San Siro will remain standing. Read more here.

Player interactions with football fans
James Maddison has won plenty of fans with his honest post-match interviews, and this was another great example of his interaction with fans.

Maddison's former-Leicester City teammate Jamie Vardy is another who can be relied upon to get involved with the supporters, and he wasted no time in doing so again this season.
Jamie Vardy scoring after 21 seconds and larging it to the home fans.

Football fan videos: protests in the 2023/24 season
Southend United fans protest against current ownership by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch during their match against Eastleigh tonight🎾
Never nice to see a club in the position they’re in.

Unique and heartwarming moments of fan culture
Let's begin with this Arsenal fan, Chelo Chinarro, who speaks about following her team for 70 years.
This is lovely content.
Football fandom sparks emotions which are so hard to explain to those who don’t share the same feelings as you. Young, old, man, woman, if it gets you, it grabs hold of your soul and never lets go.

And how about this for a contrast? From an elderly woman collecting the bins in Wales to the Boca Juniors' ultras at an indoor basketball event!

On the subject of Boca Juniors, it's always great to see footballers engaging with fan culture, and that's exactly what former-Manchester United and PSG midfielder Ander Herrera did over summer. He went to see his old teammate Marcos Rojo in Buenos Aires, and got stuck in at La Bombanera while he was there.

And while in the Americas, let's take a journey up to Mexico where we've already had a classic of the old genre: dog interrupts football match. And you don't get it much better than this!

It was set to be the hottest day of the year in Scunthorpe. Instead, their match against Buxton United was the victim of a biblical thunderstorm. Just look at it.
