Pride of Anglia
Unofficially, a number of
football clubs located in
East Anglia vie for being the
Pride of Anglia.
Football
fans being fans, and the honour being entirely imaginary, the title is regularly claimed for a variety of more or less logical reasons, including recent victories, current league position, club history, or for no reason in particular.
Fans of
Norwich City,
Ipswich Town and
Southend United are the most likely to be heard chanting "Who's the Pride of Anglia?" (and the
corollary, which is
scatological.)
Other professional clubs in the region include
Colchester United,
Peterborough United and
Northampton Town.
In each of the last three seasons, the Anglian team that has achieved the highest league finish has been Norwich City.
