Dreams do come true. On Thursday night, Robert Dunphy -a true, blue-collar Philadelphia fan- stole the show at Lambeau Field. The man drove all night to see his team hold on for a 34-27 win over the Packers. Of all his simply delightful tattoos, none was more captivating that the one that adorned his belly button region. That masterpiece featured his belly button playing the role of the Phillie Phantatic’s snout, though thankfully no tongue nor outie belly button protruded on command. On Sunday, this man’s dream -and quite frankly that of every true Philly fan- came true as Dunphy danced with the Phanatic:

Here’s to you, Robert Dunphy. You’re a Philadelphia treasure.
