English Premier League side Norwich has given the world something they really want this holiday season: Ed Balls. Who's Ed Balls? The former British politician who is extremely well known in England, but perhaps best known to the rest of the world for tweeting his own name. His name is Ed Balls. What's that name?

It's a big moment for Ed Balls. The Norwich native has always wanted to be involved in soccer, and this is his chance.
My earliest ambition was to play for #NCFC - next best thing is to become Chairman. Great honour & privilege. https://t.co/VGOWaHeca6

Obviously we hope everything goes swimmingly for Ed Balls and Norwich. It would be a terrible shame if his time as chairman went south and the headlines in England were "Ed Balls sacked."
