Ed Sheeran celebrated buying a minority share in Ipswich Town Football Club by driving a tractor through a field.

The singer, who has purchased a 1.4 percent stake in the club, aptly nicknamed the Tractor Boys, posted a video of himself celebrating on Instagram on Thursday (15 August).

Sheeran, a lifelong supporter of the Suffolk club, said he was "really excited" by the move.

He said: “It's any football fan's dream to be an owner of the club they support, and I feel so grateful for this opportunity.

“It's such a joy to be a fan of Ipswich Town. There are ups and downs but football is all about taking the highs and the lows.”

US Open champ Jannik Sinner is a young man in a hurry. He is 23, is No. 1 and has 2 Slam titles
New U.S. Open champion Jannik Sinner is making big strides in a short amount of time. Just 23, Sinner already reached No. 1 in the ATP rankings a few months ago and, on Sunday, collected the second Grand Slam trophy of his career — and of the year — by defeating Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 in the final at Flushing Meadows. Add that to his Australian Open championship in January, and Sinner is the first man since Guillermo Vilas all the way back in 1977 to pick up major titles No. 1 and No. 2 within the same season.
