A Load of Squit 5,130 Posted November 12, 2021 Bonus Farke Life fact: No German had played for #ncfc before he arrived but at least one German started in all of his first 133 games as Norwich City manager Before Farke we had to make do with David Phillips being a German born NCFC player.

Petriix 2,834 Posted November 12, 2021 It's not true though. No German started VS Brentford. I can't be bothered to look further back than that, but I'd imagine there were plenty of games with no Germans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's managed over 200 for us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess 133 games is about three seasons, including cup games. I think Stiepermann, Zimmerman and Trybull were regulars for much of that period. Not sure who our other German nationals were that featured in our first EPL season under Farke? I couldn't say whether the 'fact' is accurate either way.

pete 318 Posted November 12, 2021 Other Germans incuded CB who played briefly alongside Russ Martin at Millwall in early 2017. Dennis Srebeny, Heise, FB don't remember name, midfielder brought in Jan 19, Rupp, and Leitner. Some hardly played at all during Farke reign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
