Lioness Lauren Hemp enjoyed a Tuesday evening watching Wroxham Women take on Norwich City Women.
The Manchester City player is on her summer break and recently played at Carrow Road and has been back in her home town of North Walsham.
Playing in the game was former North Walsham player Rio Dobbie who was delighted to play in front of her hero.
"I was a little bit shocked when I found out she was coming… I did do a little bit of good skill in front of her so maybe she has learnt something from me," she said.
"I love it how she is supporting local teams… it is incredible what she is doing."
Hemp posed for photos with fans and watched a pre-season friendly which saw the Canaries win 5-0.
Norwich City Womens defender Ceri Flye was happy to put in a solid performance in front of the local hero.
"Its not only good for the girls on the pitch its great for the young girls that came to watch us.
"The fact that she took the time out today to come and see us is an honour," she said.
