[quote user="Greavsy"]I believe Amanda Holden has been in attendance.[/quote]

I have photos to prove that! She has attended at least a couple of Norwich v Everton games as her husband is an Everton fan although she recently mentioned both teams on The One Show.

[quote user="Johnny Stump"]Lesley Ash, on the pitch for some reason.[/quote]

She kicked off at a friendly - I think it was against Zenit Leningrad (now Zenit St Petersburg)

Lennox Lewis was a special guest at the first Sky Monday night football vs Nottm Forest......although I will admit to at the time not knowing who he was.

.

circa 1987 Leonard Fenton aka Eastenders'' Dr.Legg was sitting in my seat in the old family enclosure in the South Stand for a Norwich v Arsenal game (I think he''s an Arsenal fan), and I had to politely ask him to check his ticket and move...

I think there is a few in that photo would walk into today''s squad.

Keelan, Stringer, Bryceland and Davies would be starters.

The text from the above photo -

Pre-match build-up

Sherry and eggs for Norwich City players in the Carrow Road

boardroom with manager Ron Ashman and owner Geoffrey Watling, on

February 10, 1966, a couple of days before the Canaries played Walsall

in the FA Cup. It worked alright; City won 3-2.

Amanda Holden was here when Everton last came to visit.

She used to come occassionaly with the landlord of the Hoste Arms at Burnham Market, before he sadly passed away.[/quote]

She used to come occasionally with Les Dennis too. Allegedly.
