Secret Transfer Former Norwich City hardman Tony Powell has apparently swapped sides and is currently

living as a woman in San Francisco. Norwich club officials only became aware of the secret transfer when

they invited him to attend their 100th anniversary celebrations, as one of 400 Carrow Road legends.

Norwich are unsure as to whether the 55-year-old, who made 275 appearances for Norwich between

1975 and 1980, has had a full sex change or is simply a transvestite.

 

The Mail On Sunday carried an interview with the 55-year-old, who they had tracked down to being a hotel

manager in Hollywood. He was quick to laugh off the rumours. "It's ridiculous," he said. "I don't know

where all this started. I am all bloke. I've never worn a frock in my life. I'm the least likely man to have a sex swap."

After divorcing his wife, he now shares a flat with a male friend, but insisted: "I promise I'm straight."
