THEY say love moves in mysterious ways - but for this football fan it was a chance meeting on a train through Hampshire.

Crystal Palace fan Angus Mainland took to Twitter to help find the girl of his dreams after meeting her on a train from Bournemouth to Southampton yesterday.

The 19-year-old was heading to Saints' clash with Crystal Palace when he sat next to the brunette.

He gave her his Palace scarf to wear and he took a "selfie" of the pair.

In typical 21st Century fashion, Angus called for the help of Cross Country Trains in finding her through Twitter.

The firm's account promptly retweeted it to its followers, and his tweet has now gone viral - with nearly 2,000 retweets.

The pair were on the 12.45pm from Bournemouth train.
