"Dear Darren, on Wednesday 18th September you and 113 other dedicated supporters made the long trip to watch us play against Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you," the 48-year-old wrote.
He also invited them for a City Hospital experience when the English champions take on their Ukrainian counterpart in a rematch encounter slated for November 28, 2019.
