The Mooy the merrier as Aussie gets unexpected bonus

Adam Bhana — who found the money lying on the ground at the John Smith’s Stadium — also wrote a letter saying: “Mooy can keep the money because he played very well and scored”.

Mooy, who scored the first goal in the 2-1 victory which was Huddersfield’s first over United since 1952, said: “It was really great to finally meet him.

“Adam was a really nice lad and is a real credit to his family.

“It was great to receive such a fantastic letter, he clearly has fantastic values.”

Adam’s dad, Mo, told the BBC his son had initially wanted the money to boost Huddersfield manager David Wagner’s transfer budget.

Mooy will not be keeping the fiver which will be donated to the club’s Town Foundation that helps children in the surrounding area.
