ricardo 7,395 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) My old friend and ex workmate Roger Smith has just sent me his updated 5th edition of The Canary Companion. Packed full of every bit of info you ever wanted to know about NCFC. History, scores, appearances, attendances, in fact its the answer to everything anybody will ever ask you. Never be lost for an answer again. It's not on sale in the shops apparently but if you email him at canaryrog@hotmail.co.uk and mention that Ricardo sent you, I expect you will get a nice discount.

No MY Roger has been going to CR almost as long as me and has been keeping records of every match since he was a boy. He doesn't have a publisher and has had copies printed at his own expense. Obviously he needs to sell quite a few to cover costs. You used to be able to get the first edition in Jarrolds but if you want his latest updated edition I recomend emailing him and he will sort you a copy. The cover price is 12.99 but I reckon if you mention me he will do you one at a tenner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 4,921 Posted August 4, 2019 Small world. I know Roger too. He is very knowledgeable about all things Norwich, not just the football club. I've bought the latest edition of his book. It's well worth the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Met Roger tonight and picked up my copy - can't wait to get my nose into it properly. (even though Mrs Muzinic is keen to tuck it away for my birthday!) Roger is a great guy and his passion for all things NCFC is apparent from the moment you meet him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
