Brazilian pro-surfer Filipe Toledo is renting a house that overlooks the beach at Merewether while in town for the Newcastle Cup.
The house belongs to Warren Mills, a long-time committee and club man at Edgeworth Eagles Football Club.
The Eagles, who are the reigning champions, kick off their season on Saturday with a grand final rematch against Maitland.
Given Filipe's nationality, it makes perfect sense that Edgeworth now considers him to be the club's number one fan.
"He loves soccer - he's Brazilian. We had a special shirt printed for him with his name on the back," Warren said.
Warren was having coffee at Merewether Surf Club when his mates coaxed him into renting his house during the pro-surf event in early April.
He wondered whether he'd get anyone connected to the event. He ended up with Filipe Toledo - one of the world's top surfers.
All he could think was "holy toledo".
Warren and Filipe met on Monday to hammer out a deal to rent the house for 19 days.
Filipe will have his wife and entourage that travels with him.
"They'll probably be some parties but that's OK. I've even stacked the beer fridge for him to help himself," Warren joked.
Seriously though, the professionalism of surfers these days probably means Filipe will be tucked in bed early after a nutritious and wholesome dinner, with herbal tea.
But then, Filipe is Brazilian. And Brazilians do love to party.
"He said if he wins it, I can come and join the party," Warren said.
Warren is no stranger to Brazilian parties. He went to the soccer World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
As for the Edgeworth Eagles, they are hoping for another successful season with former Newcastle Jets striker Michael Bridges as head coach.
The Eagles also hope to become part of the planned B-League, a second division to the A-League.
Warren offered Filipe to be the club's number-one ticket holder for this season.
"I've also invited him to come and watch our season opener against Maitland at Jack McLaughlan Oval," he said.
"If we defend our premiership crown this year - I'll return the favour - he can come to our celebrations."
