I can never remember the name of the local player (never played for City) played for Charlton,  before that worked for Norwich Union,  packed in early because he had a mental illness.

Moved to Norwich when he was young, was brought up here and speaks with a norfolk accent: he counts in my book!

I once heard stories of a guy who kept him out of the under 12 Catton team, friend of my brother. This guy then went to try and play hockey...even Catton didn''t rate him.
