David Gray from Caterham, Surrey contacted the club following the #findthefan campaign on the club's social media.

Commenting on the incident, the Harlequins fan said: "I walked out of the door from the bar and the sun was in my eyes, all I saw was this quick shadow and then bang, it hit me.

"The steward raced up to me and asked if I was ok. All that I was concerned about was my beer.

"The steward was very good and took me back into the bar and I had my drinks replaced. When I walked outside, the ball nearly hit me again, it seemed to be a bit of a homing device that day.

"Lots of my friends have seen the video, one watched it in France and called me up to say he spilt his own beer as he was laughing so hard. It's all good fun and the main thing is I wasn't badly hurt."

David and his wife will be coming to the Harlequins Bath game on November 16th to meet Nick Evans.
