Norwich City fan Sam Wood has another few hundred miles to add to his 9,358-mile trip from Australia to watch the Canaries.

The 30-year-old flew halfway around the world to take up his seat to watch the Championship semi-final second leg play-off victory against Ipswich.

And he has a little further to travel before heading back down under, after the Canaries' victory against their East Anglian rivals secured a Wembley play-off final berth.

Pest controller Mr Wood, who lived in Norwich before moving to Australia, which is where his girlfriend is from, is due to fly back a week tomorrow – the day after his side take on Middlesbrough in north London.

Mr Wood said: 'It's all been a bit surreal. I came back to my old seat and everybody was cheering me when I sat down. My flight back is a week on Tuesday and I booked it like that just in case we made it to Wembley. I'll be there.'

His journey, which he documented on Twitter, stirred plenty of media interest and caught the attention of a Carrow Road favourite.

Mr Wood said: 'Robert Fleck came up to me and knew all about what I'd done.

'The very first game I went to was back in 1991 when he was playing, so it was great to meet him.'
