Peter GARDEN, a fan sponsored by the Norwegian Football Federation, has cycled 1800 km from Oslo for the World Cup to follow the Norway Team (Group A) around its different venues. Starting from the Norwegian Training Camp in Saint-André-des-Eaux, near La Baule in the Loire Valley, he'll cycle to MONTPELLIER, BORDEAUX and MARSEILLE for each of his favourite team's matches - The Tour de France a month early! Along the way he plans to collect celebrities' autographs and players' jerseys - which he'll auction along with his bike on his return to Norway, to raise money for a humanitarian project for Third World orphans. Now there's a fan with a heart as big as his calves!
