Spending almost £2,000 on club merchandise is no easy task even for the biggest of Norwich City fans.

So how did the Foreign Office manage to splurge £1,841 at the official club shop while the department was led at the time by prime minister and self-confessed City fan Liz Truss?

The department’s purchases were made on two dates: £1,318 on October 21 last year and £523.50 on March 21 this year.

It remains unclear who requested the payments.

Emily Thornberry, Labour's shadow attorney general, had written in a letter to foreign office minister Gillian Keegan, that it was difficult to understand why the department had spent money on items such as "high-end private catering; wellness and beauty treatments; extensive supplies from UK wineries; large amounts of home furnishing; and even £1,841 at the Norwich City club shop".

But Ms Keegan’s responded on Tuesday (October 11) said the payments were made for an "overseas shared values children's project".

It remains unknown what items were bought.

From a signed shirt at the sum of £175 to a Nordic Santa hat at £4, here's what £1,841 could get you in the club shop without buying anything more than once.
