A NORWICH fan proposed to his stunned girlfriend on the pitch at Carrow Road… and she said yes despite the fans’ cheeky chant.

The Canaries hosted West Brom in a crunch Championship clash on Saturday and were about to hold their weekly half-time crossbar challenge.

A lucky fan stepped up to the plate and was joined by his partner, who was completely unaware of what was to come.

The presenter made it clear this wouldn’t be an average half-time show as he handed the microphone to Norwich supporter Jack Garwood .

And that was when he popped the question to his ecstatic girlfriend Brandis.

Jack said: “Brandis, I know you’re not expecting this but from the very moment I met you I knew you were the one for me. So Brandis, will you marry me?”

A speechless Brandis nodded her head and the presenter declared: “She said yes!”

As the happy couple celebrated their engagement, the crowd shockingly started booing this incredible moment.

And the away end delivered a brutal chant that went: “You don’t know what you’re doing!”

But that didn’t stop the loved up couple from enjoying the start of the new chapter of their life.

And the club made things even better by announcing they will be going on honeymoon at Gran Canaria for five nights with all costs covered by sponsors Turismo de Gran Canaria.

The couple will surely never forget this moment as Norwich also went on to beat West Brom 1-0 thanks to a last-gasp winner by Josh Sargent.

Johannes Hoff Thorup’s side is now 10th in the Championship table with five points separating them from the play-off spots.

ROTHERHAM have sacked manager Steve Evans.

The Millers have struggled this campaign following relegation from the Championship and have fired Evans following a 4-0 home defeat to Crawley.

Evans was appointed in April last year but could prevent Rotherham from avoiding the drop.

He was entrusted with a huge rebuild in South Yorkshire and signed 14 players in the summer.

But he could not deliver on expectations to challenge for promotion, and he leaves with Rotherham 16th in League One.

Rotherham have won just 12 league games this season and failed to pick up three points in their last four fixtures.

Evans, 62, apologised following the mauling against his former side Crawley and accepted his “credit” may have run out.

He said post-match: “The fans have watched an abject performance.

“The fans don’t want to hear apologies – they want the performance to be right.

“I will always protect my players. I think a lot of those players have not got credit in the bank at this football club. Maybe my credit will run out, I don’t know.

“I thought we defended poorly. Our players have played with a really heavy weight on their shoulders.

“The facts are they have not played in a Rotherham United fashion for much of the season.

“In the games that they have, we have won games comfortably.

“We won’t make excuses. I offer my apologies. The performance was limp and way off the minimum standards.”

Evans’ second stint at the New York Stadium failed to reproduce the success of his first spell, when he led Rotherham to back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship.

PRINCESS Diana’s former lover has revealed why he is putting himself in danger in a war zone – after recovering from a stroke which left him fearing he would die.

James Hewitt – who was a cavalry officer and tank commander during his long military career – has been delivering humanitarian aid to Ukraine for almost three years.

Hewitt’s missions to the war-ravaged country with Operation SafeDrop have taken him close to the front line – and within range of Russian artillery.

The 66-year-old, too old to sign up as a volunteer for Ukraine’s military, was spurred into action after seeing the horror of Russia’s 2022 illegal invasion on TV.

Hewitt told The Sun: “I could quite clearly see what was good and what was evil, and rather than shout at the television, I thought I’d try to help.

“I’m too old to do anything military. I tried to find a way to help with humanitarian aid. The amount of aid and equipment we’ve taken is quite astounding.

“We’ve travelled thousands and thousands of miles, delivered tonnes of aid from water to medical equipment to children’s clothing.”

And Hewitt’s daring missions are all the more remarkable given that he suffered a stroke in 2017 which left him paralysed down his left side.

He also had heart surgery and was told it was “touch and go” whether he would survive.

“It all came together,” Hewitt said.

“I had a stroke, a septic embolism. It was caused by bacteria. It got into my blood and also attacked my brain, and paralysed my left-hand side.

“Thank goodness it’s not like that now by some kind of extraordinary miracle. It was very serious.

“At the same time, I had a faulty valve in my heart. They were contemplating surgery at some stage, but that was brought forward.

“I didn’t really know where I was. It was touch and go. I was aware of that, but I wasn’t really concerned for some obscure reason. I was just happily unaware (of the seriousness of the situation) most of the time.”

At one stage, Hewitt was “resigned to die”.

“The times I was made aware of the seriousness, I was sort of resigned to the fact that my time had come,” he added.

Hewitt would have been forgiven for wanting to avoid conflict zones in his retirement, having served in the first Gulf War.

“I didn’t really know where I was. It was touch and go…I was sort of resigned to the fact that my time had come.

James Hewitt

“I was just astounded by the iniquity of the situation, and how it required something to be done,” said Hewitt, who has set up a JustGiving page to raise money for OperationSafeDrop, which is run by John Lawler.

Hewitt and Lawler have helped people who have lost everything in the war.

“We’ve met people who had been displaced,” he added.

“They had lost everything. They had gone to a bunker, sheltering from missiles, and when they came up from being underground, they found that their house or flat had been completely destroyed.

“So they had nothing. All that they had was a small bag, and that was their worldly possession.

“I remember talking to one lady who taught English in schools. She had lost everything, but she was certainly defiant in a nice way.

“She still managed to be cheerful, if that was the right word, even though she had lost everything and the future was looking bleak.

“The people are quite extraordinary. Their fortitude is something that’s very recognisable.”

‘Resolved to make a difference’

Hewitt’s near-death experience spurred him on to help others once he recovered.

“It wasn’t exactly a Damascene moment, but a slower realisation that I was lucky to have survived all sorts of things,” he said.

“I thought if I could get myself back on my feet, who knows what I could do. I think I was resolved then to try and make a difference and do something that was selfless and useful in the future.”

Hewitt, speaking amid talks over a ceasefire, wants to help Ukrainians for as long as necessary.

“The beauty about our small operation is that we’re not too constrained about going anywhere where we’re needed,” said Hewitt.

“We’re very flexible and nimble. We’ll go to places that others don’t or won’t or can’t. We’ve been within artillery range. That’s probably all we need to say on that.”

Military skills

Asked if his military experience was useful in safely navigating Ukraine, Hewitt said: “I think so. Sometimes it isn’t as evident to ex-military how much use we can be, but we’ve got underlying skills that are hugely important in those situations.”

Hewitt has been deeply moved by what he has seen in Ukraine.

“There are a lot of emotions, but we know when we have to put those aside, and have the ability to get the job done and focus on that,” he said.

“But when you talk to some of these people, and befriend them, it’s a very emotive situation. That’s important to recognise, otherwise you’re just a robot.

“They’re displaced, and you have to put yourself in their shoes and understand how grave and chaotic it is for them.”

Princess Diana had a five-year affair with Hewitt between 1986 and 1991 after they met at a party.

She confirmed the relationship back in 1995 in a now infamous BBC interview with rogue BBC reporter Martin Bashir in which she said: “Yes, I was in love with him, but I was very let down.”

Last year, Hewitt slammed Bashir in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday branding him a “toad” for for tricking Princess Di into confirming the affair and turning him into the “most hated man in the world”.

Hewitt was even plagued by rumours he was Prince Harry’s real father after the affair went public – despite not meet Diana until two years after Harry’s birth.

An inquiry later found the shamed presenter used “deceitful means” to obtain the interview, which included feeding her false information about her friends.

The coming-of-age dramedy St. Vincent features one of Murray’s deepest performances because he was able to show an older, reflective character.

Jack Reacher has never been a man of half-measures. He doesn’t believe in warm hugs, he doesn’t do small talk, and he certainly doesn’t let things slide. If there’s a problem, Reacher fixes it, with extreme prejudice and usually a significant amount of collateral damage. That’s part of what makes him such a compelling character.  […]
