Town fan Arnt H Nodeland has been named Norway’s Supporter of the Year by the country’s Supporterunionen for Britisk Fotball and television channel TV2.
Arnt, 45, founded the Ipswich Town FC Supporters Club of Norway, which now has more than 500 members, as an 18-year-old back in 1989 and is now its president.
He also started the award-winning fanzine for Norwegian supporters, the
News of the Blues, which he initially produced on his own.
“It was very unexpected. I was told Monday and realised nothing. I am thankful and really appreciate it,” Arnt told TV2 in an interview - which can be found auto-translated into English here - in which he also reveals that during a spell living in Ipswich without a fixed postal address he had letters delivered to him at Portman Road.
