FOOTBALL fan Williams Frimpong had a fruitful experience watching his favourite team… with a WATERMELON balanced on his head.
The AIK Stockholm supporter saw his side pip top-flight rivals Hammarby 2-0 on Sunday.
Frimpong balanced the huge melon on his bonce for part of the game – amazing the 40,000-plus crowd at Stockholm’s Friends Arena.
He has since gone viral on social media.
The madcap hairdresser, who cuts the hair of several AIK players, said he sometimes balances watermelons on his head while at work.
He said: “I wanted to make people feel happy. I knew people would be happy if I put the melon on my head.

“When I arrived at the stadium I told staff I was an AIK fan, and I wanted to spread joy.
“They looked in my bag but I didn’t have anything bad, so they let me in.
“All the AIK players come to me to have their hair cut. I told a few of them of my plan.
“Some said I might be stopped, but I said I needed to give it a try. AIK is my favourite team.

“I sometimes cut hair with a watermelon on my head, but this was the first time I have taken one into the stadium.
“Why did I do it? I like watermelons!
“I grew up balancing a lot of things on my head. That was how I helped my mother.”
Many football fans have praised Frimpong, with some even hailing him a “legend”.
AIK’s squad includes ex-Manchester City striker John Guidetti, who had spells on loan to Burnley, Stoke and Celtic but is currently injured.
Ex-Swansea keeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt helped them to Sunday’s Allsvenskan win, courtesy of two goals from Alexander Fesshaie.
