One thing promised, one due: sponsor of the Ipswich Town club, promoted to the Premier League, singer Ed Sheeran celebrated this success as it should be, Wednesday evening, with the players.
Officially promoted to the Premier League on Saturday after their victory against Huddersfield (2-0), the Ipswich players finally celebrated the event properly. A big fan of the Tractor Boys since his childhood and becoming a sponsor of the club in 2021, while it was languishing in League One (English D3), Ed Sheeran organized a video call on the evening of the climb. “I’m in Miami, I have to pay for the sponsorship one way or another. I’ll be back on Wednesday, do you want us to go and celebrate? We’ll find a place!”, the English singer promised the players.
The 33-year-old artist kept his word. In a video posted on his Instagram account Wednesday evening, we see the guitarist, probably in a nightclub, hosting a visibly drunken evening.
Objective of maintaining the Premier League
Ed Sheeran is so invested in his boyhood club that even the team’s Northern Ireland coach, Kieran McKenna, praised his efforts. “Ed is a very important person for us, he has supported the club through sponsorship for several years now,” insisted the manager. His commitment is such that the author of Shape of You even appropriated the number 17, which is therefore no longer assigned to any player.
“I know that being in the Premier League will bring, not only enthusiasm to the club, but also enthusiasm and joy to the city and improve it, which is very important. If we let’s avoid relegation next season, it will be the biggest success for me, but you never know what will happen”, rejoiced this Ipswich lover to ESPN, on the occasion of this return after 22 years of absence in PL.
