Archie 0 Posted April 29, 2004 am utterly gutted by the fact that iwan was leaving - it was expected,but all the same i havent felt so down hearted for a long timehe made an awful team not quite so bad under the days of rioch and hamilton,and i think if it wasnt for him we could quite easily be division 3.iwan you have given me some of the best memories of my life - everyday i picture you rising to head that ball at cardiffthank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westoncanary. 0 Posted April 29, 2004 Archie, I toatally agree. I had hoped the club would offer him something, but i suppose we are a business at the end of the day. Hopefully we can use his wages to get some quality players in. To Iwan: Thankyou. You have been a shining example to all young pro''s. I will be sorry to see you go. Good Luck at your next club, I will look out for your results next season. Thanksfor the memories..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tufnell Park Canary 0 Posted April 29, 2004 Well said, I too felt very sad when I read that Iwan would be leaving. It is a shame that the years have caught up with him just as we reach the prem. However, at least Iwan can leave knowing that he achieved what he came to do - get norwich in the prem. He can go with a smile on his face, knowing he was a success and is loved by city fans everywhere.I know its a team game, but fans are right to suggest that his goals saved us from div2.I wish I could be at the Preston game to see him play his last carrow road fixture - I hope he gets a bigger send off as he deserves.

grease monkey 0 Posted April 29, 2004 Iwan what can I say a true pro. I don''t think you need say anymore. We are not going to see that big toothless smile down at the Barclay end next season after he has scored another goal.Lets hope he gets on for the final 10 mins on sat and we get a penalty then we can really give him the IWAN IWAN IWAN IWAN FOR THE FINAL TIME.

njscanary 0 Posted April 30, 2004 I too am absolutely gutted that "GOD" is leaving. When I was reading the messages under this headline I had a tear in my eye as I knew we would not be seeing the big man again after saturday. In my eyes he has been Mr Norwich City for the last seven years and will always have a place in my heart.Good luck Iwan, the whole of Norwich will miss you, especially your gappy smile after you BANG another one in!!!

FatMan Fat 0 Posted April 30, 2004 See Iwan was interviewed for the Academy job but as he wants to keep playing he wasn''t suitable - that''s a real shame coz i am positive Iwan will make a fantastic coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
