VIDEO: Northampton Town fan Shaquille O'Neal wishes League 2 side good luck
Northampton Town might have the most famous football fan outside of England after NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal revealed himself as a supporter of the League Two side.
In a 27-second video uploaded by the team on Monday, the 43-year-old wished the first-place Cobblers good luck for the rest of the season, and even revealed that he's planning a visit to watch the team play at Sixfields Stadium.

Though it may seems very bizarre - and random - that a future NBA Hall of Famer would support a lower-level club such as Northampton (sorry Cobbler fans), Shaq happens to share a relationship with the team's owner, Kelvin Thomas, who also owns Shaq-Fu Radio.
Just in case anyone other than Shaq is interested, Northampton is currently enjoying a five-point lead atop the League Two table with a game in hand.
