Christmas is officially on the way, according to former Norwich City striker Chris Sutton.

Sutton, who played for the Canaries between 1991 and 1994, has already put his tree up but insisted that it wasn't his idea.

Standing beside his daughter Sophia and a Santa Claus statue, Sutton looked like he was trying his best not to get carried away with the festivities.

On Twitter, he said: "Not my call this... Santa and the Christmas tree out already. We are better than this."
