Pride of Anglia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 Ipswich Town, Southend United and Norwich City 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, however Ipswich Town has been the highest finishing team the majority of times over history and is the only team in the region to have won the UEFA Cup, FA Cup, top division and never face re-election to the league.
