Shaquille O'Neal is a huge fan (literally and figuratively) of Northampton Town FC, apparently.
2015/16 has really been a miracle season for Northampton Town FC. Having started off the campaign in administration after finding themselves on the brink of relegation from the Football League entirely the previous year, the club have managed to turn everything around and win League 2 outright. To top it all off, they've also gained a celebrity fan in legendary NBA centre Shaquille O'Neal. After his beloved football club claimed the League 2 trophy, Shaq posted footage of himself celebrating the momentous achievement. The clip shows the 7 ft 1 former baller proudly belting out Queen's classic ballad "We Are The Champions," while donning a Northampton Town FC scarf around his neck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI5LCe_vsns
