Ed Sheeran and Kieran McKenna surfaces after Ipswich Town defeats Watford 2-1.
Following a triumph at Vicarage Road, Sheeran, an honorary squad member of the Tractor Boys, congratulated McKenna.
Winning three matches in a row in the build-up to another trip away, Kieran McKenna’s side were in fantastic form and have only lost twice in league action so far this season, but they fell behind to Yaser Asprilla’s early goal at Vicarage Road.
However, George Hirst levelled the scoreline before half-time before captain Sam Morsy popped up in the second half with a rare goal to win the match for the flying Tractor Boys, sending them to the top of the Championship standings ahead of Leicester, who play on Wednesday night against Millwall.

More than 2,000 away fans supported Ipswich at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night, and there was an additional one in the luxury seats as Ed Sheeran, arguably their most well-known supporter, was present once again.
Sheeran, who was raised in Suffolk, developed a strong affinity for Town at a young age. Beginning in the 2021–22 season, he has sponsored the team’s uniforms and assumed the number 17 position in the honor roll.
Sheeran has been spotted at Portman Road more often this season because he has more free time, but he traveled to Hertfordshire to see a specific person and celebrate his boyhood club’s victory yet again.

Following his viewing of the game with fellow superstar musician Sir Elton John, who serves as Watford’s honorary president after previously serving as the club chairman until 2002, Sheeran went downstairs to congratulate his team, just as he had done against Hull City earlier in the season, when the players sang one of his songs in the dressing room.
