Four Norwich players were among 30 people taken ill following a barbecue at the club's training ground, it emerged today.
Celebrity chef Delia Smith is a director of the club but sources said outside
contractors were employed to lay on the food to allow staff at Delia's Catering
Company to enjoy the event.
A statement from the club read: 'City today confirmed a number of its staff,
including four senior professional players, have been taken ill following a
social event on Sunday.
'Players, staff and their families attended an annual informal summer event
at the club's Colney training centre, following which approximately 30 people
who were at the event have suffered symptoms including sickness and
diarrhoea.'
