This thirsty 23-year-old became a cult hero over the weekend as footage of his phenomenal feat at a football match went viral.
FC Twente fan Christiaan Roetgering has become the toast of Dutch football after carrying 48 beers into a top-flight game.
The thirsty 23-year-old went to watch his club host Eredivisie rivals Willem II on Sunday, but he swiftly went viral after film and pictures of him carrying five stacked-up trays of lager into the stadium appeared on social media.

Twente’s stadium is aptly sponsored by a brewery — De Grolsch Veste.
And catering staff clearly didn’t tell Roetgering to “Schtop” as he ordered pint after pint.
He said: “I always go to the game with a group of friends, and each time one of us has the job of getting the beers in.
“This time it was my turn, and I didn’t fancy having to keep going back and forth to the bar.
“So I decided to get everything in one visit.
“I had to carry the trays through a passageway and up some stairs, but it all went fine.
“But it’s not a record – my friend Jochen has managed in the past to carry 50 beers in one go.
“I must have had 300 friend requests on Instagram. I was watching the highlights on TV on Sunday, and my phone just exploded.”
Roetgering could be forgiven for drowning his sorrows after Twente blew an early lead and had a man sent off in their 1-1 draw.
The Enschede club’s squad includes on-loan Manchester City midfielder Luka Ilic as well as former Norwich flop Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
