kick it off 1,955 Posted November 17, 2020 Just a bit of fun. Simply work out who each of the ex players or club figures are. Some easier than others. Anyone who gets all 15 earns my unerring respect as I think some of these are pretty hard. 1) Record appearance holder (673 apps) 2) Record goals in a season - 31 league goals + 2 cup goals 3) Most capped NCFC player (35 international appearances) 4) Scorer of NCFC's THIRD goal in European football 5) Striker who made just 4 apps for NCFC but 64 for Leicester 6) Scandinavian who scored as many goals for the club as Matthias Jonnson and Johann Elmander combined, in just 7 appearances. 7) Appeared for his national side in 1984 Euros and 1986 World cup. Also managed Swansea. 8 ) First Wembley goalscorer for NCFC 9) Made 15 appearances for Norwich. Some whilst we were top of the top flight. Lost his place after a 6-2 defeat. 10) The only NCFC player to represent Montserrat. He also managed them. 11) The manager that signed Bryan Gunn 12) 1966 World Cup winner 13) Former Watford, Colchester and Wales U23 goalkeeper. Never played for Norwich. 14) Was once asked on live TV, whether he liked Victoria Beckham and whether he was being paid the same as Ronaldinho in the same interview. 15) Embarked on a career as a TV presenter after leaving NCFC. Also designs percussion instruments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think I recall listening to the radio (back when no internet meant as an exile it was normally following through teletext, so radio was a treat) and him scoring against Villa one year too.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted November 18, 2020 Will have a go. 1.) Keelan 2.) Ralph Hunt 3.) Hoolahan, Peters or Pukki. Not sure. Peters? No changed mind, Pukki? 4.) Johnny Polston 5.) Ade Akinbiyi 6.) Must be Matthias Svensson surely? 7.) Not sure 8.) CamJam! 9.) No idea 10.) Ruel Fox 11.) Ken B 12.) Martin Peters 13.) His son had a better career with Spurs - and England! 14.) Hucks? 15.) As a drummer, this one’s easy - Dion and his Dube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If current players: Pukki has 86 caps, a lot more than 35. If all time: Helveg has 108 caps, a lot more than 35. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just pointing out someone who clearly has more than 35. Could it be 35 caps, while playing for Norwich is the question rather than during their career?

Doesn’t state that, Steel - so I think you’ve called it bang on 👍. Even if it was current players, Pukki’s got way more than 37. Fun quiz though, cheers KIO. I’ll be happy with 8 correct, be interested to know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,857 Posted November 18, 2020 I'm guessing it's caps won whilst playing for Norwich? Or that's how I understood it. Hoolahan won 43 caps for Ireland, of which 42 were during his time with us, so is he the answer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember it only because I read a Ruel Fox interview not so long back funnily enough, otherwise I’d have been stumped I think! Some of them were a process of elimination and guesswork - the Hucks one springing to mind, though I seem to recall it was in his book. I’ll take 10/15 though!, not great but ok I guess. You should do more of these, KIO! 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
