BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted August 24, 2018 What a star,what an absolute absolute star.Is there any Canary fan who has a bad word to say about ''the cheating, pie-eating, lard arse'' (TWTD) who terrorised defences and always gave us hope of success, even in the Premier League.

BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted August 24, 2018 All this singing stuff goes over my head and, being a Dylan/Neil Young fan, I do find the lyrics a bit simple, even stupid.However, there is nothing more stirring than, when on an away ground, to hear the boys in yellow singing their hearts out."Jingle bells, jingle bells jingle all the way,Oh what fun it is to see, City win away."(Palace c.1995 on a very boozed up Boxing Day and with a Mark Robins winner.)Keep it up boys It helps. It works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrew norwichcity 8 Posted August 24, 2018 Will be a while before we have a striker who can score like him. Rhodes might have a good season but I genuinely don''t see us getting someone capable of scoring 20+ goals in a season with the way we play now. Holt will always be a legend after his goals against Ipswich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,830 Posted August 24, 2018 Defenders across the world will give a sigh of relief to hear this news [:O] . Onwards and upwards with his coaching career, one day Canaries head coach..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 6,143 Posted August 24, 2018 Not just a great player but a great captain as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,136 Posted August 24, 2018 I agree. His captaincy was that extra special ingredient that is very hard to find and helped propel Lambert''s team even further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 335 Posted August 24, 2018 soon to be Grant "The Scumbuster" Holt for WAW. I hope he ends up with a 9-2 winning record at the end of his wrestling career Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,471 Posted August 24, 2018 To be honest I thought he hung his boots up once he left us! Most underated and probably best value for money player in recent history.Long may he coach youngsters in how to focus their attitude to football as he applied himself......legend.

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted August 24, 2018 Should’ve played for England. Worked so hard at being the best he could possibly be and was wrongly overlooked at a time when Rickie Lambert got in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 444 Posted August 24, 2018 [quote user="Fiery Zac"]Should’ve played for England. Worked so hard at being the best he could possibly be and was wrongly overlooked at a time when Rickie Lambert got in![/quote]Absolutely this.Was highest English scorer behind Rooney that season, yet couldn''t even get a single call-up (probably worried about international refs carding him all the time).Funny how the likes of Andy Carroll and Lambert were deemed worthy though...

AJ 1,359 Posted August 24, 2018 I feel sorry for Holt that he never got a look in for England. Everyone accepts he would only be a back up but deserved it on merit alone with a fantastic season for us. Good luck to him with the coaching, nice to have him back here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 2,062 Posted August 24, 2018 A storied career no doubt, but he will be best remembered for his time with us. An absolute talisman and far better player than he is given credit for (outside of Norfolk). Really should have played for England. Thrived on being the one that the opposition hated.Gave us some great memories that will never be forgotten. I don''t think anyone will ever forget his one man demolition of the scum in the 4-1 home win whilst sporting "that" moustache!!!Proper footballer, top bloke, Norwich legend.
