England face Denmark in the Euros this Thursday, with kick-off at 5pm.

But one businessman in Macclesfield will be cheering on both teams.

Doran Binder, of Wildboarclough, is half-Danish.

He owns Crag Spring Water, which has been bottling water which comes from Shutlingsloe since 2018.

Doran has become a worldwide hit on social media, and is educating the benefits of drinking natural, mineral and spring water. (With Crag Spring Water being one of them.)

Macclesfield Nub News went to meet Doran to find out more.

"I'm half-Danish, and ever since Denmark surprisingly won the Euros in 1992, when I was 20, it ignited a love in Danish football," he said.

"I do love watching Denmark, I love Kasper Schmeichel, I love Christian Eriksen, I love the colour of the kit."

Doran grew up in Manchester, and has lived in the Macclesfield area for 12 years.

And now, his Danishness is part of his business. As well as selling Crag Spring Water, Doran serves Danish water at his water tasting experience which you can book at The Crag Inn, sampling waters from all over the world.

When pressed as to think which nation he would prefer to win in the football today, Doran had this to say: "When it comes to England vs Denmark. Come on England.

"Especially with Jude Bellingham, the greatest player in the history of English football. It is almost unfair to have Jude in our team."

Crag Spring Water is available in still or sparkling, as well as bottle or can.

Doran doesn't put his water in plastic bottles, to help the environment.

Crag Spring Water can be delivered to your door as well as be enjoyed in Macclesfield venues like Flour Water Salt and The Picturedrome.
