CardiffCanary 128 Posted November 19, 2021 Gunn … for being an absolute legend in goal and for everything he went through with Francesca and that bond with the fans. Read his last line in 12 canary greats … even the biggest hard man will fail to have a tear in their eye. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,234 Posted November 19, 2021 I know it’s recency bias compared to a lot of the names but the only two I could see myself voting for for “favourite” player is Holt or Wes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bali Canary 11 Posted November 20, 2021 Phil Boyer was one of the few Norwich players to win a full England cap while with the Canaries. The best partnership ever with Ted McDougal in my opinion. Exciting times under John Bond. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must admit though that I really enjoyed watching Kenny Foggo, David Cross and Graham Paddon play. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bradwell canary 109 Posted November 22, 2021 Been going to CR for 60 years, so I’ve seen all of the great players. But I would say that Emi , would just be ahead of Martin Peters, and Ron Davies for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real Buh 3,432 Posted November 22, 2021 It’s Hoolahan if he’d been discovered and nurtured from a younger age rather than being sidelined for his size in Ireland I honestly believe he could have played anywhere, at any level, but I’m so happy that I got to see him play so many times for Norwich Every time I got to see him play made me happy. It wasn’t like he was playing football it was art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will have to do like 4 players from each decade fro 60s to current decade, to cover full spectrum of ages on here.

It wasn’t like he was playing football it was art. And it was of course Paul Lambert who was the first manager to take a punt on him and bring him over to the mainland, for Livingstone, I've seen little acknowledgement of that. He was turned down by Sunderland, Leicester, Millwall and Ipswich (which is a f*cking brilliant fact). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowrider120 762 Posted November 22, 2021 Why only one poster has mentioned Mark Bowen is staggering. 399 appearances FFS! He ought to easily make the top 20 and indeed probably the top 10. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He ought to easily make the top 20 and indeed probably the top 10. He was great player, and with us for a long time. I suspect prolific strikers, twinkle toed wingers, whole hearted defenders, dominant play makers, and superb shot stoppers are more popular….. to be honest honing down to a list of 20 is tough.

Jeremy Pymer 6 Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Paddon, Goss, MacDougall, Reeves & Justin Fashanu for me. Paddon and Goss for their unstoppable drives, especially Goss for that one against Bayern Munich. Asked him once if he had ever watched it back, and unbelievably, he said he hadn't, and that was some years after. MacDougall scored the best individual goal I've ever seen at Carrow Road, against Villa when we won 5-3. No film unfortunately, but he dispossessed a Villa player halfway in the Norwich half, went past three or four, including putting the ball to one side of one of them while he went round the other, then a low strike under the Villa keeper at the River End. No other Norwich player involved. No need. Reeves - first Norwich player to get a full England cap, I believe. Fashanu for being pure magic - and what other Norwich player has ever scored the MOTD goal of the season? Had I been at that Liverpool game, he would have run Ted close, I think.

I would be tempted to short list those who won 2 player of the season awards; Foggo Keelan Peter Drinkell Gunn Roberts Huckerby Holt I like your style here. Drinkell is a great shout for me too. Had one of the hardest shots and bullet type headers. Loved him during that Ken Brown inspired heyday (Biggins helped too). There used to be a poster called The Great Drinkell but he seems not about anymore (used to want to like his posts because of the name he had chosen 🙂). Holt - a big favourite for his sheer confidence and attitude (like Fleck) and obvs for his goals. Keelan a big favourite of mine (also his attitude). I missed out on Peters as was away from Norfolk then. Seen a few videos though. Huckerby was the most exciting, Wes for pure watching pleasure. Watson and Bruce fantastic CBs. Not seen any better defensive pairing. Played the offside trap with their eyes closed. Class. Of the current team Teemu is up there. A great character and man. Too many! But in the spirit of this thread my vote goes to Drinks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 3,984 Posted November 22, 2021 Drinkell is a great nomination and Mark Barham was a cracking winger too around that time . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
