The Dragons' historic victory against Belgium put Trotman into a dilemma: head back or watch the team play against Portugal?
He posed the question to his boss Stephanie Brooks, who said that if he could get 1,000 likes on Facebook he could stay for the game.
So the Welshman started begging for likes on Facebook with a post in which he even tagged his U.S. manager.
The post was shared by friends and family who were happy to help a fellow Welshman:

“I didn’t expect it to happen, I thought I’d give it a try and luckily my manager kept her word.”
“It was definitely a together, stronger moment.”
