Fun Fact: The Canaries’ most famous supporter is celebrity cook Delia Smith. On 28 February 2005, Smith attracted attention during the half-time break of a home match against Manchester City. At the time Norwich were fighting an ultimately unsuccessful battle against relegation from the Premier League, and in order to rally the crowd, Smith grabbed the microphone from the club announcer on the pitch and said: “A message for the best football supporters in the world: we need a 12th man here. Where are you? Where are you? Let’s be ‘avin’ you! Come on!” Norwich lost the match 3–2. Smith denied suggestions in the media that she had been drunk while delivering the speech.
