About this episode

Hundreds of people are dancing in the streets of Kleintjeskamp, a traveler community in the Netherlands. Men walk around bare chested, showing their tattoos. Women chug beers. Grandpas and grandmas dance too. A singer is singing Dutch folk songs. Kids are running around. Bonfire’s are burning, the sky lights up with fireworks. It’s a massive farewell party. Because one of their own, is leaving the community, to sign for Manchester United.


This is the unlikely story of Alexander Buttner, and his years at Manchester United. It’s a story about Shinji Kagawa doing a Gangnam style dance, Sir Alex Ferguson making Buttner have his first drink, and getting help from Paul Scholes.
