A lifelong fan of Norwich, he is credited by the club being "instrumental in supporting Norwich’s Academy", and for providing the money in 2009 that allowed striker Grant Holt to be signed. [2] This amounted to more than £300,000, covering the amount rebated to season-ticket holders following relegation. [3] Two years later, he gave the club £2m in exchange for 80,000 ordinary shares, "for Paul Lambert’s use in the transfer and loan markets". [2]
