Ed Sheeran celebrates buying share of Ipswich Town with crazy tractor ride
Ed Sheeran celebrated buying a minority share in Ipswich Town Football Club by driving a tractor through a field.
The singer, who has purchased a 1.4 percent stake in the club, aptly nicknamed the Tractor Boys, posted a video of himself celebrating on Instagram on Thursday (15 August).
Sheeran, a lifelong supporter of the Suffolk club, said he was "really excited" by the move.
He said: “It's any football fan's dream to be an owner of the club they support, and I feel so grateful for this opportunity.
“It's such a joy to be a fan of Ipswich Town. There are ups and downs but football is all about taking the highs and the lows.”
