I''d have to find room for Iwan Roberts. I put Llewellyn in there cause i liked him and I put Nedergaard in there cause he is a Cult hero!

cult XI eh no current squad included Gunn no more nead be said, Culverhouse what a player so foolishly released by Chase and Deehan, Ian Ian Culverhouse!! Butterworth, Mackay - leader scorer of vital goals, prone to the odd error what a player, Bowen (my favorite player as a youth), Nedergaard - how we could do with him now.a hero!! Goss (1 absolutely OUTSTANDING SEASON from a player of limited ability but so much heart!! possibly the greatest season a norwich player has EVER had!!) Crook - headin on his way to ipswich then came right back - fantastic, Eadie - a living legend, we even got 3 million for him when his days had gone good lad, Lee Power, Bellamy - the welsh juninho, subs libbra - what a goal Iwan - legend Coney - if you ever need oneoff the arse Simon Tracey - how many goals did he concede!! Sutton Manager Martin O''Neil - the late 90''s could have been so different

Mine would look something like this....

                         Gunn

Mills      Polston    Mackay      Bowen

Fox         Goss       Safri            Eadie

                Roberts  Channon 

Reasoning

Gunn - Absolute Hero, fought his personal battle and who will ever forget the famous run up. Highlights include - Part of the team that took on the best in Europe, and won!

Mills - Was probably one of the most aggressive players i''ve witnessed in a City shirt. Went off to Charlton and then The World Cup.

Polston - Again, Part of the team that beat one of the best teams in Europe.

Mackay - A true great, a player that wore the shirt with pride and will always have a place at the centre of my heart. Gutted when he left.

Bowen - Scored the winner against Bayern Munich, a true great, player everywhere, cut short of 400 apperances but still one of the clubs most faithful servents!

Fox - We have never had a player since fox that has had the pace, skill or aggression to attack a defence on the right wing. Never forget the Fox/Sutton celebration!!!

Goss - In my first season as a full season ticket holder, Gossy''s goals were worth its costs ten-fold. Leeds ''93 Goal of the month, Munich his best ever.Anfield, April 94, cue one of the most emotionally charged games I have ever attended,  fittingly adorned with a wonder strike infront of the Last match infront of the standing  kop. (by the way, in Liverpool he is a legend too!!)

Safri - Not affraid to get stuck in. Plays with a pride and a passion that is severely lacking in todays game. He loves Norwich, we love him! Please make my Valentines tomorrow and score a screamer!!

Eadie - One of the best left wingers of the past 20 years, thrown into the bargin he knew what it was to be a loyal servant. Featured in the successful european season.

Roberts - So so so sad that we let him go. Had a tear in my eye the day he said goodbye, but the script couldnt have been written better. He was part of the team that suffered defeat in Cardiff, and also part of the team that took us to the promised land. Hope he comes back to us soon.

Channon -  Bit of a personal one here. Was an unborn baby when he was part of the Milk Cup winning side, but technically, that was my first ever game. One of my Mum''s favourite players, who I was to have my picture taken with on the Balcolny of City Hall with Mick Channon and the last league cup Norwich won. I still have the photo safely tucked away at home.

Others who i could have included in the Cult XI...

Sutton, Green, Fleming, Drury, Culverhouse, Butterworth, Adams, and Im sure there are many others, but i have named my XI....

Ross Jack would have made my bench - didnt seem able to score after October but found the net easy enough in Aug and Sept!

seems people have forgotten how good a keeper keelan was, best keeper

never to play for england according to lots of pundits. the word cult

is not being adhered to, as a cult figure is not always the best

player, people like trevor the werewolf hockey, hugh curran, john

manning, kenny foggo, real cult figures, these players were idolised

and done the business for the shirt for little money compared to

today,s overpriced muppets.

Surely Nielsen deserves to be a cult figure? Scores against the club he''s employed by whilst on loan to us and also gets the keeper sent off; scores a hatful; fists at the crowd lots; tells Sky Norwich will play in the Champions League next season shortly before the playoff final; makes pointing and fisting gestures at the crowd at the Millennium Stadium little realising the rest of the team are getting on with the game and Drury takes a throw-in. Superb!

PS Also scored the best headed goal I''ve seen at the Barclay End...

Well done Zipper for including Greg Downs!! Remember his goal against Watford in 83 (?).  Went on to win FA Cup with Coventry in 1987, now a policeman I think.

Gunn - Enough said

Bowen - Again - enough said

Watson - sheer class - "When Dave went up to lift the Milk Cup...."

Linighan - He scored that goal for the Arse...best contribution ever to his career at City

Culverhouse - Bowen & Culverhouse, what a superb pairing...

Reeves - because he was a great player

Crook - where are you now Chippy?

Williams - Classy - very classy

Barham - Because he was good!

MacDougall - One of my earliest City heroes...

Justin - He was THE MAN - that is still the best goal ever and no matter what Henry says, Justin did that finger wagging celebration first!

Forbes - the enforcer...

Paddon - great player on his day

Bertschin - because my Dad used to call him every name under the sun when his bambi legs gave way yet again as he was clean through on goal!

Corrigan - big fat Joe Mark 1 - he didn''t so much command the goal as fill it!

Drinkell - Don''t you wish we had him now?

id be tempted to stick dave phillips in there - he was one of the most technically gifted players we had at the club and was a linchpin in the 3rd in prem glory season! so id be inclined to find a place in the squad for him somewhere!!

                                     9 Justin Fashanu      10 Robert Fleck

subs Huckerby, Mackay, Gunn, Sutton, Townsend, Phelen, Drinkell

 

Kevin Keelen - slightly before my time but 600 games, what a legend

Ian Culverhouse - So composed and cultured, what a player

Duncun Forbes - born leader or so I am told

Ian Butterworth - with Bowen and Culverhouse he has to be there, great defender

Mark Bowen - one of our very best players ever, only now I feel is he getting the status he deserves, what a player.

Rule Fox - Superstar, got the ball, you knew magic was going to happen

Ian Crook - Our most talented player ever. If he had played for Liverpool, he would have many caps. He was our Glen Hoddle.

Martin Peters - How can you leave this player out, he won the world cup.

Darren Eadie - On his day he was the best player on the pitch, real shame about the injuries, his potential was awesome.

Justin Fashanu - That goal summed up his potential. Should have been a superstar, but had the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Robert Fleck - Has a player ever been more loved. At his peak caused problems for every defence. Will forget his second coming, just remember the good times.

I was waiting to see if someone else would post this first. They did not. I''m not sure if it is a cult X1 but, for those of us that were there, if we were together today we could probably see ourselves as a cult having witnessed the magic of, and never forgetting, a single face or name:

                                                                  Ken Nethercott ( Sandy Kennon )

                                             Brian Thurlow                                        Ron Ashman   

 

                                 Roy McCrohan                    Barry Butler                    Matt Crowe  

 

Errol Crossan            Terry Allcock                        Terry Bly                        Jimmy Hill                  Bobby Brennan      

Oh, for some of that passion today. It may happen. Let''s live in hope.
