HOCKEYMYHERO 0 Posted August 23, 2009 Their are stories in the Sunday papers saying he may have to stop playing because of recuring ankle injuries .He was a quality striker one i firmly thought was just the type of forward England were crying out for .He is still only in his late twenties and to finish so young is a loss to this great game we all follow .Good luck Deano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonnyboy 0 Posted August 23, 2009 Wow just spent the last ten minutes looking through clips of Norwich on You tube, it just hits home how far we have fallen, will we ever reach these heights again???http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-FebBxbGXY&feature=related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Romantic 0 Posted August 23, 2009 I would be gutted at this news. Ashton is a great natural talent and it''s so frustrating watching injury hamper what would otherwise be a stellar career. He''s an intelligent guy, never slotting into the archetypal modern footballist mode. I can only hope that he finds himself a media or management career so that we''re not denied his input and personality.Top bloke and the best of luck to him. Ultimately it may be that Norwich had the best of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGoogler 324 Posted August 23, 2009 A big shame, mostly because of our sell on clauses. No doubt he''s a talented lad but Worthington is now vindicated for selling him when he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Romantic 0 Posted August 23, 2009 Surely our sell on clauses can''t be seen as the main reason why this news is a shame? I''m actually more concerned about the fact that a potentially stellar English career comes to an end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And worthy had no choice but to sell him he wanted to leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Longy 1 Posted August 23, 2009 This is a shame, I honest thought Ashton had it in him to be a regular pick for England and to be a top class striker in this country for a decade or more. While he is hardly a Norwich legend due to the lack of time spent at the club he is one of the best forwards I have seen where the yellow and green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that being used in the Fantasy Football League program titles with Baddiel and Skinner (best football program ever) but never realised it was in the commentary from our most famous win!

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted August 23, 2009 Ashton was the one buy except for Drinkell that excited me as a forward for City. The goal that I remember most was the little dink against Man City - in the game Delia made her own!!! What''s more I was holding on to my signed shirt for when he beat Bobby Charlton''s England scoring record? however my loss is far less than Deans - I just wish him at the best for the future.
