Plastic Scouser 0 Posted September 2, 2005 THE great Canary classic - "Norfolk ''N'' Good" - if you haven''t read this then you''ve missed out on a very good read - if you''re a fan you''ll identify with every word written in it... I also remember reading a good short article on Norwich''s ultimately unsuccessful tilt at the Prem title, in a collection of short footy stories published under the "When Saturday Comes" banner...

gazzathegreat 0 Posted September 2, 2005 have to agree with plastic scouser, the book is excellent and if you are of an age (1992-3 season) where you remember it, you will enjoythere is a follow up about mike walker''s return, which is also good, but as in reality, not quite the same ..........

Mello Yello 2,291 Posted September 2, 2005 "Holidaying in the Canaries," (by the Ukranian travel writer: Itsa Timeshareripoff)  is a pretty good read. I was undecided where to go on my Hol''s: Gran Canaria, Lanzarote or Tenerife? So I read this book - and went to Hunstanton......  ;~) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick 0 Posted September 4, 2005 Norfolk n Good is definitely the best Norwich City read , particularly if you remember the season involved.It was written by Kevin Baldwin.The follow up was called Second Coming but it wasn''t even half as good.Iwans book is a great read too and if you''re looking for a good ''warts n all'' football autobiography try Tony Cascarino''s book - Full Time.
