CANARYKING 705 Posted July 13, 2019 Wonderful video in the My Norwich City Story, good to here a very honest interview, not the greatest footballer but did always his best. Some good stories too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 850 Posted July 13, 2019 I liked it too, a very real and genuine assessment These days he goes by “Drew” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East Rider 589 Posted July 13, 2019 I remember him well. After a rather unimpressive start he warmed to the crowd and in fact if I recall correctly he became a bit of a fans favourite. A player who tried hard and put the effort in when others appeared to take the easy option. His piece reads that he felt he was underappreciated here a smidgeon, but I'm not sure that was actually the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number9 272 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Surely Russ Martin set the standard for pointing. McLean came close to it last season though he alternates pointing with that two hands straight to the floor in a 'pass it to my feet but obv you can't because I'm standing right next to you' gesture. If he concentrated more on direct pointing he'd have approached Russ' level. Edited July 13, 2019 by Number9 Spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivvo 264 Posted July 13, 2019 He punched the air very well too, not that we had much cause for that during that dreadful era! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,928 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) I’ve not watched any yet. Are they all an hour long??? We live in an age of continual partial attention, I can’t concentrate on one thing for that long! And what’s with the melting chocolate fades at the start? Weird. Edited July 13, 2019 by Nuff Said Speeling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,733 Posted July 13, 2019 I don't recall him becoming a fans favourite, more that we all just accepted he was crap but would run around a lot. Worthington signed some absolute dross after we got relegated. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always felt quite sorry for him. Quite an expensive signing by our standards, made captain and then wrecked his knee in his first game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etuhu had some ability to be fair. The rest though we're just well meaning, hardworking cloggers so we had no quality in central midfield. Mind you Grant replaced them with Darell Russell and Julian Brellier who somehow managed to be worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the alternative of course he may have ended up as a greater arm waver than Andy. We will never know. Where did Fozzy finally Flop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splendidrush 720 Posted July 13, 2019 Never understood the Fozzy deal, he was bang average at best, his agent kept him in work a truly incredible feat, then when it became clear that we were going down, he disappeared, one of my least favorite players.

Etuhu frustrated me as he was a menace when he'd make late runs into the box but half the time he looked like he couldn't be bothered. Carved out a solid career for himself though.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted July 13, 2019 I'm loving this series. It show us fans that, even if we think we know what goes on behind the scenes, there is a lot we will never know. Also, you never see Andrew Hughes and this bloke, in the same room: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
