Dortmund, Germany: While Germany have sometimes struggled on the pitch at Euro 2024, a previously unknown saxophonist in a retro shirt has had more success at delighting fans and uniting the country.

Andre Schnura has become the breakout star of the competition on social media, getting fans jumping across Germany's host cities for the tournament.

His latest performance in front of his newly adoring public came in the Dortmund fanzone ahead of Germany's first knockout game against Denmark on Saturday evening.

Little over two weeks ago, 30-something Schnura was a gigging saxophonist and music teacher of little or no renown.

After losing his main job at a music school where he had been giving lessons for the past six years, he decided to pick up his saxophone and follow the football around Germany.
