They do things a little different in Germany.

While a Premier League club might celebrate its anniversary by posting a photo of their captain posing with the tea lady on Instagram, German sides do nothing without a flare.

Fortuna Dusseldorf was founded 120 years ago yesterday and the 2. Bundesliga club marked the day in some style with droves of fans meeting on the banks of the Rhine to turn the river red.

Supporters, supervised by police, used flares to celebrate in a spectacle the likes of which you’re never likely to see again.
