Football player gives tickets to 'skint' fan

A championship footballer took pity on a fan who commented on Twitter that he was too 'skint' to buy a ticket for last Saturday's game. Ipswich Town defender Tyrone Mings (not pictured) arranged for two tickets to be left on the gate for fan Tris Monk, commenting that he shouldn't miss a game because he couldn't afford it.

So how did this happen, and what was the reaction?
