Yes! You heard it right. The Wolverine is a huge fan of the recently relegated canaries! In fact, the Hollywood superstar almost invested in the club back in 2011 when the club approached the Australian to be part owner of the club. But Jackman turned down the offer and later admitted that he regrets the decision he had made.

Jackman at the age of 16 often visited his mother who lives Norwich and also has a fondness for a local pub in the area called “Nag’s Head” and it’s atmosphere filled with music, beer, and stories.

Recently in an interview with ESPN, Jackman joked about “how things didn’t work out” for David Beckham when he spent several weeks on trial with the Canaries in 1987 when Beckham was just 12-years-old. Jackman also stated about the “Entertaining football” Norwich play and went back to mention the Milk Cup win of 1984. Yikes!
