A PLYMOUTH supporter has been left heartbroken after making a 12,000 mile journey to witness his team get mauled at Wembley.
The Pilgrims were thumped 4-0 by Bolton Wanderers in the final of The EFL Trophy this afternoon.
Goals from Kyle Dempsey, Dion Charles, Elias Kachunga and Gethin Jones completed the rout for the Trotters.
But one Plymouth superfan travelled all the way from Japan for the game.
Tatsuki Usi started following the League One side 18 years ago.
That was after watching them lose 3-1 to Everton in a televised FA Cup match in 2005.

However, he had never seen them play in the flesh until today – although some may now think that he is a curse.
But ahead of him joining the other 38,000 Plymouth supporters at Wembley, he could hardly contain his excitement.
Usi told BBC: “I think it will be the best day ever.”
He has also amassed a huge array of Argyle merchandise from pyjamas, signs, kits, masks and a green-shirted teddy bear that he planned to take with him to the national stadium.

He added: “Plymouth Argyle are still not very well known in Japan.
“But, despite that, because I’m posting pictures of them on Twitter and stuff – more people are becoming interested in them now.
“I think there’s now about five supporters in Japan, at least that I know of.
“Even though it’s a bit difficult to put it in words, I want to continue to show off the Plymouth Argyle that I love to other people, and appeal to them with my photos.
“With my Plymouth Argyle pyjamas and stuff, my family do laugh at me every day.”
