Delia Smith March 2008

"It's all about greed and power. Maybe one big club with a foreign owner will go belly up, which will be a good thing and make people think." Delia, a majority shareholder in Norwich City, famously went on to the pitch at half time in a home game three years ago and demanded "let's be having you" in an attempt to raise the spirits of supporters.

She and husband Michael have put at least ?9million into the club.

Delia admitted: "It's mad, but I don't regret it. The money is probably lost but all we want is for our club to be successful. What else could we have done with the money that meant so much?"

Another for the collection, from an article in the independent from 2002:

=====================================

The couple invested pounds 1m in 1996 to bail out Norwich and take seats on the board. Two years later, they upped their investment to about pounds 3.5m, buying 61 per cent control. "We knew we'd never see the money again, so we asked each other if there was anything we'd rather do with it. And we said no, Norwich was the greatest passion of our lives and we wanted to help."
