Norwich City are one of the biggest clubs in the Championship.

For the last few years, they have been seen as a yo-yo club, jumping between the Premier League and the Championship.

However, after relegation from the Premier League in 2022, they failed to live up to expectations and get promoted straight back to the top flight at the first time of asking, instead finishing in 13th place last season.

But this season, under David Wagner, they seem to be back at their best, vying for a place in the play-offs.

As we wait to see how the season plays out for the Canaries, we have taken a look at six of Norwich’s most famous supporters who will be watching 2023/24 conclude.

Myleene Klass

Jackman is an Australian actor, who is best known for his role playing Wolverine in the X-Men series.

But he does also take an interest in football. Whilst many may think Wrexham may be the team he follows due to his friendship and future co-star in Ryan Reynolds, it is actually Norwich.

He even stated last year that he would like to play for the Canaries if they played Wrexham, just to annoy Reynolds.

Delia Smith

Arguably the most well known celebrity supporter of Norwich, Smith is one of the majority shareholders of the club along with her husband, having been asked to help invest when the club were struggling financially.

Smith is best known as being one of the most famous chefs in the country, having been a TV presenter showcasing her cooking skills.

Undoubtedly her most famous and iconic moment when it comes to Norwich is her rallying cry to the Norwich faithful at half-time of a match against Manchester City in 2005.
