Fab Received Threats - Ipswich Town News
Dutch full-back Fabian Wilnis has revealed he received threatening mail from Norwich fans after predicting a quick Premiership demise for their club back in 2004. The 35-year-old felt that Nigel Worthington's side, then top of the Championship, would not be good enough to survive in the top flight.
Wilnis was proved right with the Canaries lasting only one season in the Premiership. The former De Graafschap man says that some supporters of the Norfolk club didn't take kindly to his prediction: "I got a lot of hate mail and it got to a point where it was very threatening.
"They were saying things like they were going to wait for me after a game and break my legs - that sort of thing."
Wilnis says he considered contacting the police but in the end decided not to take the matter any further.
