Ed Sheeran has been named in the squad list for Ipswich Town for their upcoming season.
The singer, who lives in Suffolk and is a Tractor Boys fan, is already sponsoring the shirts of the men's and women's first-teams this campaign.
The chart-topping artist has now been given the number 17 shirt for the official squad list for 2021-2022.
"When Ipswich told me I thought they were joking but I love the idea," Sheeran said.
"I think this is going be a great season and I'm honoured to be a part of it. I just hope this squad number is only ceremonial because I want to see us promoted and that's not going to happen if I'm playing."
I get that a lot of clubs want to honour their famous fans in some way... but maybe this is a little far, even if it is just ceremonial ?
Though, I'd be interested to know whether anything like this has happened before. The article doesn't mention any other cases, but I'm sure there will have been some!
