Huddy 0 Posted March 17, 2007 In recent times i would have to go for Huckerby, although Fleming and Mackay certainly did us proud over a long period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,224 Posted March 17, 2007 Andy Hughes?Etuhu?supprised i havent seen any of them on here so far [;)]For me thou it has to be Huckerby, or Ashtonboth players came into our side and completely changed the way we playedthat means Iwan should be included on that list aswell.

ManchesterCanary 0 Posted March 17, 2007 KEVIN KEELAN....signed for a pittance and stayed for years...watching the cat in action was worth the entrance fee alone...commanded his area like no keeper i have seen since and fantastic agility...he should have played for England Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zurich Canary 11 Posted March 17, 2007 Martin PetersAbsolute legend, by far the best outfield player to play for Norwich in the past 35 years (I only started going to games in 1971!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted March 17, 2007 Some bargains - Megson free transfer - never liked him as a player or manager, but he did add something to the midfield for 92-93 season.Dave Phillips - I had to add him, as he is one my favourite players, of any that I have seen play.Gary Holt - £100,000 - bargain, desire, determination, passion.Neil Adams - £250,000 - all those crosses and penalties.Dennis Van Wijk - even if just for the Milk Cup winning year, but all those other appearances too.John Polston - Not the cheapest, but nor was he expensive.Andy Linighan - Not cheap for 1988 prices at £350k, he had 2 and a bit good seasons for us and was sold for £1.25m.Matt Jackson - A good defender. Signed for a bargain fee imho £450,000. I couldn''t believe it when Everton sold him, who stubborn nonce Worthington turfed out of CR on a free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master J-Do Pur 0 Posted March 17, 2007 I would have to say Bryan gunn. I don''t think he has got a mention. He was a rock for us for a decade. He is Mr Norwich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is Mr Norwich[/quote]I was going to say the same thing, though I have no idea how much he cost or who from... he was my first footballing hero as a youngster, I wanted to be Bryan Gunn so badly that I changed to my genes to make myself balding... okay, well that may just be coincidence, but never mind... I met him once starting the Norwich half marathon my Dad was taking part in... the bloody camera wouldn''t work so I never got a photo! [:(]Iwan and Hucks are legends from my lifetime, but in terms of pure profit how about Damien Francis? Sold for about 10 times what we paid for him only 2 seasons before... Not really a legend though, is he...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stone Cold 0 Posted March 18, 2007 How about a shout fot Adam Drury , not one of our best ever but we signed him fairly cheaply and I would dare say that was a bargain in respects of the service we have recieved and still continue to get from him , Also worth remembering some of the clowns we had at left back before Adam , Fernando Derveld anyone ?!!!!!!

nutty nigel 7,585 Posted March 19, 2007 If you like "value for money" how about some of these :-Kevin Keelan £6,500, Duncan Forbes 10,000, Kenny Foggo 10,000, Doug Livermore 22,000, Graham Paddon 25,000, Martin Peters 40,000, David Cross 40,000, Ian Culverhouse 50,000, Colin Suggett 75,000, Mark Bowen 90,000 Kevin Drinkell 100,000, Bryan Gunn 100,000, Gary Holt 100,000.More recently Paul McVeigh and steen Nedergaard have been good free signings for us.Of course these are all examples of players bought relatively cheaply however Darren Huckerby (750,000) and Iwan Roberts (850,000) and many many others have all been tremendous signings for the club too.

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,036 Posted March 19, 2007 Helveg is God - Wasn`t Drury on our books before we let him go to Peterborough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stone Cold 0 Posted March 19, 2007 An over sight on my part about Drury being on our youth books , But nether the less hes been a very good signing for us.Dion Dublin was a youth team player we also let go does that make him not a decent signing ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoareyou? 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Peters was undoubtebly the best value signing.But i am surprised Flecky hasn''t been mentioned more..what a great player he was first time round.And also what about Martin O''Neill..he was hugely influential on the pitch when we signed him from Forest or Man City (can''t remember which).

Tumbleweed 106 Posted March 21, 2007 Has nobody mentioned John Deehan- no idea how much he cost but his goals got us at least one promotion and he was a very cultured reliable striker.My vote though would go to Culverhouse- 400 appearances and absolutely solid at right back. Never saw him have a bad game, put in some of the most sensational last ditch tackles I have ever seen and as we have seen the last few seasons formed an amazing defenive partnership which gave that great team a solid basis at the back for the likes of Crook, Fox, Sutton etc to feel secure about.
