Also known as Uncle Misha, Mr Garia is a man everybody knows in the city of Krasnodar in south-western Russia's Krasnodar Krai region.

He came to Krasnodar from the city of Baku in eastern Azerbaijan in 1989.

He lived with friends for a while but became homeless when they died.

Uncle Misha always gets into the stadium for free, as most of the clubs consider him their talisman.

Some even joke that his long wizard-looking beard is the one thing that brings teams luck.

Now, to make ends meet, he sells apples, fish and other products.
