matt crowhurst 0 Posted September 15, 2009 sorry mate hadnt seen that not long been in from work. Any chance it could be he''s coming back early to work with the reserve/youth team now his season and career is over in America? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sing Up The South Stand 0 Posted September 15, 2009 He''s either retiring or coming back here, I suspect it''s retiring though - as Lappin said.He probably will rejoin Norwich as one of the matchday hosts for the corporate guests! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt crowhurst 0 Posted September 15, 2009 mark rivers - was a general question to ask what i did i.e. was there any info that i had missed earlier which it turned out there was, I wasnt for one minute doubting it wasn''t hucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt crowhurst 0 Posted September 15, 2009 He probably will rejoin Norwich as one of the matchday hosts for the corporate guests! - so he''ll be by manager next summer then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sing Up The South Stand 0 Posted September 15, 2009 Oh right, I think what I said came out a bit wrong! And the other bit, saying what I think he was doing I meant to put in my previous post but forgot to.Tell you what though, got a feeling he will manage us one day.

matt crowhurst 0 Posted September 15, 2009 yeah so do i though after Gunny im not sure if i would want him to - think he could be awesome with the youth players though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sing Up The South Stand 0 Posted September 15, 2009 i guess, if he starts off in the youth team managing them and works his way up it would be ok.Was always destined to fail with Gunn, having had so many non-football jobs since he retired. Fair enough he became sort of a Scout under Grant and then Roeder (as well as temporary stints as GK coach) but that is nothing like being a manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted September 15, 2009 If it is Huckerby then it kind of proves, in a way, that Roeder let him go at the right time. Although I would have preferred to have kept DH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk canary 0 Posted September 16, 2009 I 2 think he is retiring :( however if this is the case then why would he exclusivly tell the evening news first? surely he would announce it to San Jose fans first? So maybe there is hope that he is infact signing here till the end of the season thats why hes telling us first? or is that just wishful thinking lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Holt 520 Posted September 16, 2009 It''s definitely wishful thinking, I can tell you that now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-ru 0 Posted September 16, 2009 Well he is out for at least 6 months so i doubt that he is going to sign here for the rest of the season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waking up, his mind still foggy from the anaesthetic, the painkillers dulling the soreness from the surgery to repair his shredded hip joint, it marked the beginning of a new era for the former Norwich City star. Sixteen years as a professional footballer had come to an end but crucially it had come on his terms and despite the discomfort and weeks, if not months, of painful rehabilitation that lie ahead Huckerby is adamant the timing of the operation is right. A lot of question marks still remain about what the future has in store for the 33-year-old, whose contract with the San Jose Earthquakes runs out at the end of the current Major League Soccer season. At the minute Huckerby is taking life one day and, quite literally, one step at a time, but one thing is clear is that he''s unlikely to be kicking a football in anger ever again.“I''ve got to give it chance to see how it is but I''m 99per cent sure that I am done,” said Huckerby, who refuses to be downbeat about the situation. “The second part of my career starts now. I''m one of those kind of people who make a decision and stick to it. I''m content with what I have done in the game. I look at people like Dean Ashton who is struggling and who may have to retire having never fulfilled his potential. I look at where I started at the bottom of the third division and I have done everything that I have wanted to do in the game[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
