A Man United fan drove 400 miles to meet a woman he had been chatting to online - only to find it was a hoax set up by Liverpool fans.
Married Stuart Slann, 39, from Sheffield, made the trip to a remote farm in Scotland to meet the women he had been flirting with for weeks, reports the Daily Mail.
But when he arrived at the house 'Emma' was nowhere to be seen. Three hours later the pranksters called him and confessed it was all a trick.
They taped the conversation and put it onto video-sharing website YouTube and Facebook accompanied by an embarrassing photo.
Mr Slann's wife, Louise, 32, then discovered that he had intended to have an affair and ended their marriage.
He met the two Liverpudlians during a holiday in Cancun, Mexico, where they spent their time arguing about their teams who are bitter North-West rivals.
When the Liverpool fans returned to the UK they came up with the plan to humiliate him by setting up a false Facebook account pretending to be a Scottish woman called Emma.
Mr Slann added: "I'd been chatting to this girl on Facebook for about a month or so. I really thought she was genuine, and I had no reason to doubt it.
"On the night she asked me to Scotland I was on the road for about nine hours. And then when I got to this remote farm she sent me a text to say she was still in work.
"That's what made it worse, not only had I driven for nine hours, but I had to wait for about another three and a half hours for her to finish work. Then when I got the call to say it was all a hoax I just felt awful."
