DEFENDER Kellen Fisher has revealed tales from his time at Norwich including having dinner with former owner Delia Smith and team-mates being egged in the dressing room.
The right-back, 20, joined Johannes Hoff Thorup’s side in 2023 from Bromley.
He has already racked up 23 appearances for the club and helped them reach the play-offs last season.
They lost in the semi-finals to Leeds – a club whose fans he is full of praise for in SunSport’s exclusive interview.
Both on and off the pitch Fisher has a host of stories to tell – from dressing up as a zebra to playing on a “mud bath”.
Here are some of the trials and tribulations of Championship life seen by Fisher – in his own words.
Best ever EFL player?
Gabriel Zara, he was on another level last year.
You see some of the goals he scored last year, you’d think ‘What a player he is’.
Wildest night out?
On our Christmas do, we went to Winter Wonderland and we all had to dress up as a certain letter.
Luckily got a Z, which was a zebra. So we all started walking around Winter Wonderland in these funny costumes.

I think Shane Duffy was dressed up as Goldilocks or something.
Maddest dressing room tale?
It was Callum Doyle’s birthday and Borja Sainz told me to start filming and I didn’t know what was going on either.
Borja Sainz comes through behind him and throws three eggs and he said it was his birthday.
To be fair, Callum wasn’t too happy.
Wildest owner antics?
When I first joined the club, the player liaison Phil said to me that Delia wanted to have dinner with my family before one of the games just to get to know everyone.
I think she makes that effort with everyone to meet everyone’s families.
I think it was steak pie and I think mash and gravy.
Iconic training ground tale?
I’d say one of the coaches scoring a worldie. One of the free-kicks, it’s gone over the wall, the keeper’s saved it and it’s come rolling back perfectly for the half volley.
I remember Glyn [Head of Physical Performance for Norwich] just absolutely smashed it and it’s gone flying.
It’s gone flying into the top corner and everyone was a bit shocked.
Best EFL fans?
I think I’ve got to say Leeds.
Last year in the play-off [semi]final, the place was absolutely bouncing.
Dodgiest EFL facilities?
I would say FA Youth Cup when I was at Bromley. The away changing rooms were all painted pink.
I think the pitch we played on wasn’t great either. It was just a mud bath.
Most annoying EFL fans?
I think I have to say Leeds again, in that play-off game.
I was on the bench just warming up, you’d hear little things in your ear in the corner.
Just getting a lot of stick from the home supporters.
Moment that haunts you?
I made a little bit of a mistake in the cup game, FA Cup, Bristol Rovers at home.
I think the ball come to me, the keeper parried it and I’ve controlled it in the box and sort of just panicked and just flicked it around the corner and no one sort of reacted to the ball.
And then a Bristol Rovers player just come onto it and volleyed it into the top corner.
