Norwich City F.C. match in 1953.^[7] In 1997 he became the current joint majority shareholder of Norwich City F.C. with his wife Delia Smith.^[4][18][19] In Tales From The City, a series of books about the history of Norwich City F.C. published in 2015, Wynn-Jones says that in 1996 former majority shareholder Geoffrey Watling invited them to make a loan to the club, in exchange for board of directors positions at the club. They later purchased Watling's shares in the club, making them majority shareholders, and in 1998, Wynn-Jones and Smith owned 63% of the club's shares.^[20] By 2006, their share in the club had reduced to 57%,^[21] and in 2015 their share had reduced again to 53%.^[22] In 2013, the pair wrote off £2.1 million of debt that the club owed them, as part of a £23 million reduction in the club's deficit;^[23] it has been estimated that Wynn-Jones and Smith have invested around £12 million into the club since 1996.^[24] In the 2015–16 season, Wynn-Jones and Smith's estimated worth was reportedly £23 million, the least of any Premier League club owners.^[25][2] Roy Waller wrote of Wynn-Jones and Smith that they are "crucial to the club's success", as they invested a lot with "very little return"; Waller noted that Wynn-Jones attends every Norwich match, both home and away, and often chose to sit with the fans during matches, rather than being in the directors' box.^[26]
