shefcanary 2,407 Posted February 22, 2008 I was at Hillsborough in May 1982 when we gained promotion in the final game of that season. Lo and behold less than four months later I was at Uni there and have remained ever since, now tied to the City by a good job, wife, kids and mortgage. I was trying to escape the evil clutches of the ever expanding Norwich Union. What have they ever done for the club except sponsor the Community Stand - you would have expected much more funding for the club as the City''s major employer! Then the b*st*rds opened up loads of call centres in Sheff too but at least that meant there was always a good contingent of canary fans at matches in Sheff. Kind of glad I got the moniker first as there are plenty of us up here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norma Stick 0 Posted February 22, 2008 Quite simply, I was one of the privileged few to actually witness Dean Coney''s one and only goal for Norwich. Think he got 1 in 23 games, a record that looked to be beaten (if that''s the right way round) by Chris Brown, before Roeder pulled one out of the hat by selling him to, at the time, one of our relegation rivals.Anyway, if memory serves me correctly, Coney''s goal came off his arse as a result of him charging down a Nigel Spink clearance against Villa.And, I think (no doubt if I''m wrong someone will point it out), we paid more for Coney back in the days than we did for Brown!!!!!!!!!!

Easily more, I think. £350k springs to mind which in those days was lots of money.Coney did also score with his knee from about two yards out. I think he scored 3 in total for Norwich?

Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted February 23, 2008 [quote user="Dean Coneys Arse"] if memory serves me correctly, Coney''s goal came off his arse as a result of him charging down a Nigel Spink clearance against Villa.[/quote]Your memory is good DCA - I too recall watching the ball trickle over the line that afternoon (and like you I believe it was a unique occasion for Coney to get on the scoresheet. Ironic that us two observed the goal whilst the player himself was looking the other way. He was without doubt for my money the worst player I have ever seen in a City shirt.

In the blood 0 Posted February 23, 2008 21 years ago, I moved to Ips**t because of work. I feel like a missionary sometimes, spreading the green and yellow word. When ever I go on holiday, I always say that I live 45 miles south of Norwich. Can''t admit to living where I live. Why? When you have lived in ''The Fine City'', it''s in the blood. You can never support anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThorpeCanary 71 Posted April 15, 2010 Mine mainly because I couldnt think of anything good at the time,Was always annoyed in high school how everyone was a man united or arsenal fan, a norwich fan the next minute when we won promotion the prem, then laughing their heads off at ''me'' when we got thumped by Fulham 6-0. Nowadays just tired of the armchair united fans etc (a few of my mates) who have never seen ''their'' team or proberby will ever see their team play on anything but TV, but would parade around when they won the CL or EPL or whatever while laughing at nothing norwichlanded on this as its meant to be a ''proud to be norwich'' kinda thing... no intention of supporting anyone else - ever.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted April 15, 2010 Here''s an oldie, up dating.I live in Swindon and am an exiled Norwich Fan. It''s the name I''ve used all over the internet since I first connected to it many years ago. I wish I''d had something more original as any Norwich fan living around the Swindon area seems to grab the name, but on the good side if ya ''google'' it it''s nearly all me !

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted April 15, 2010 nutty nigel was the name given to our former manager by my great friend Arrdee on this messageboard. This was in the days when I read the board but never posted. When I first posted it was under a different name for a few weeks, this has now been passed onto another poster who is far more suited to it.I don''t ever see me changing from nutty nigel, even though some people refer to me as nutty off the board too [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
