Frazer is Jets’ Biggest Fan

Frazer Campbell has been crowned the International Fan of the Year for the New York Jets, landing himself a trip to the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit.

There he will be in the running for being named NFL International Fan of the Year against all the other team’s fans.

Frazer, who is a familiar face in Manx football through playing for Michael United, was given the news on a surprise Zoom call with Jets star tight end Tyler Conklin.

Jets fans from around the world sent off applications in a highly competitive process that was launched back in September last year.

Frazer has helped to set up and run the Jets fan group ‘Gang Green UK’ along with fellow British fans.

He said: ‘We started the group… trying to find a few fans as we didn’t think there were many in the United Kingdom, and at first there weren’t. But that group has basically turned into a family. I could never imagine not watching football and not supporting the Jets for that reason. It becomes bigger than football.’

The 32 representatives will all travel to Detroit on April 25, when the 2024 NFL Draft will take place, with a special programme of events and activities scheduled.

As for why the Jets, it was simple really, Frazer said: ‘I wanted somewhere that I could go quite easily… and I’d always wanted to go to New York. My soccer team – Celtic – play in green and white… it became an easy choice from that moment to be honest!’

He added: ‘You really have no idea what this means to me, thank you so much I cannot wait to attend the NFL draft in Detroit, big shout out to everyone at  @Gang_GreenUK this wouldn’t be possible without you all.’
