Tributes continue to pour in for a "one of a kind" Arsenal supporter "taken too early" after contracting Covid-19 at the Euros final at Wembley.
Danny Bailey, 39, from Hatfield, was fully vaccinated when he supported England from the stands for the Euros final on July 31, MyLondon reports.
The well-known and popular fan, who was on immuno-suppressants, died following a two-week battle with the virus.
One of Danny's good friends, fellow Gooner Mike Televantou, 32, said the 39-year-old was "one of a kind" with a "very unique personality".
Mike said Danny was a familiar face at matches and was someone "everyone one knew, who everyone bumped into and had a story about".
"I always knew he was popular but I don’t think I fully realised the extent until after he passed when all the comments and posts were coming in."
A fundraising page to help Danny's family with funeral costs, set up by Mike, has already exceeded its £10,000 target.
Mike said Danny, who experienced renal problems as a teenager, developed a lust-for-life after being saved by a kidney transplant some years later.
"After the transplant I think from his point of view he was always on borrowed time, everything was a bonus, so he lived life to the max," Mike said.
He told MyLondon that though Danny was double vaccinated when he went to Wembley, he was on immuno-suppressants which made the risk of infection higher.
"You could never persuade Danny not to do something he wanted to do, there were no regrets for him," Mike said.
This approach to life reflected Danny's outlook, Mike said, adding that the 39-year-old "enjoyed doing silly things and was always up for a laugh and a joke".
"He did what he wanted to do and didn't worry what other people thought," he added.
As well as football, Danny also took a keen interest in animals and travelled to visit zoos across Europe.
Mike said Danny thought of himself as having a sixth sense when it came to predicting where and when games would be before they were announced and that friends had to warn him against wasting money on a hunch on occasions.
"We'd tell him ‘Danny, don’t book the flights, you’re gonna end up wasting your money’ and it would always end up the flights were after the kick-off or whatever.
"He liked to think he was a bit of a master of travel," Mike told MyLondon. "But it was all part of a laugh, he just did what he did."
Danny's fundraiser took just one week to fill the balance needed to help his family with funeral costs.
His family are going to direct the money to the Lister Hospital Renal Unity in North Hertfordshire, where Danny's life was saved on multiple occasions. The facility is also where Danny had his transplant
Of the dozens of comments left on the memorial page, many recalled fond memories of the die-hard Arsenal fan.
"I’ve known you since you were a little boy, I were shocked to hear the sad news of you passing, far too young, R.I.P Danny Bailey… my thoughts and condolences are with your family and friends," one friend wrote.
Another fellow supporter remembered Danny from 20 years ago:
"Ex North Bank season ticket holder in the 90's, since moved to Australia. Best wishes to Danny's family, and all of those who knew him during this difficult time. Rest In Peace fellow Gooner x."
"R.I.P Danny.. Condolences to the family. You were one in a million x," wrote another.
