Nuff Said 4,937 Posted June 20, 2018 From Twitter:Can’t go without saying a massive massive thank you to everyone involved with Norwich City. From Delia & Michael, to Stuart and the Boss. Can’t forget my brilliant teammates and most importantly you amazing fans! I can’t thank you enough! You installed confidence in me and gave me the freedom to go and be the player I wanted to be, so I will be forever grateful for that. You didn’t get on my back if I made a mistake and you supported me whether I was scoring worldies or getting tackled near my own goal.😂 I hope Norwich gets back to where it belongs and that is most definitely the Premier League! I am now a canary for life and it’ll be the first result I check. Good luck to everyone involved with Norwich City💛💚Classy guy, all the best James. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted June 20, 2018 Quality player and young man.Seems weird to think we only got to enjoy him for 1 season?!Would be wrong to call him a legend as he’s not but has to be up there as one of the best/most talented to have pulled on the yellow.

rock bus 836 Posted June 20, 2018 As others have said a top bloke who shows class in everything he does.Not sure a player can be a legend after only really playing for one full season but will always be fondly remembered.Hope he smashes it in the premier league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,515 Posted June 20, 2018 Oh I don''t know, his contribution this last season will never be forgotten, so yes, why not a legend.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 20, 2018 Great player but far from qualifying as a legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooster 134 Posted June 20, 2018 Good to see we haven''t stood in the way of his career progression.Hopefully other promising young players will see that and realise we are a good stepping stone for them too.That is until we re-establish ourselves at the highest level at which point hopefully they''ll want to stay.

Sooty57 403 Posted June 20, 2018 Pure class, both on and off the pitch. Shame we only got to enjoy him for one of the two seasons he was on our books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,501 Posted June 21, 2018 How dare he specifically call out Delia?! And worse than that....COMPLIMENT HER?!Doesn''t he know she''s the worst owner in the history of football owners?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,351 Posted June 21, 2018 Of course he can be a legend. For me and many others my age Trevor Hockey is a legend even though he only played 13 games. And Hockey''s legendary status remains 45 years later. The true test of Maddison''s legendary status will be known in years to come. I doubt I''ll still be around in 45 years to know. Maddison was definitely a legend last season. Not just for his great performances but also in the way one so young recognised and embraced the things that bond our community club together. I reckon if I live to be as old as Tilly Maddison will still be a legend in my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 131 Posted June 21, 2018 He''ll do well in the Prem and he belongs there. I can''t fault him for going.NCFC should''ve been challenging for the PL last season...he did all he could to make that happen, others didn''t...Farewell James , you''re a class player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 21, 2018 Always sad to see a real prospect leave but also delighted that we did get to see his ability and real potential.Double N mentions legends and the term is easy to use but I know what he means.Legendary could be for one incident, one game or several hundred appearances.In an era when football is a bit more robotic and planned, he stood out as someone who played it as he saw it not as he was told. You can''t coach that and these type of player are risk takers but we forgive them for their mistakes because we love it when they make it count.I think he has made the right choice because he can progress even further up the ladder and maybe we could profit from it as well.I look forward to seeing his promise blossoming in the Prem.

Chip20 68 Posted June 21, 2018 Massively disappointed we only ''saw'' him for one season but he belongs in the top tier and we were never going to stand in his way. I have been so impressed with how the young lad has conducted himself on and off the pitch and I wish him all the best for the future. Thanks for the memories, James.
