nutty nigel 7,352 Posted July 20, 2010 Or to make it even more interesting who has been Norwich City’s most impressive Norwich born player?There''s much made about the FA''s "schoolboy travelling time rules" and how they affect different clubs in different ways. I believe Norwich and Norfolk has a glorious history of not providing top footballers. Over the years how many top players have we picked up from our own doorstep?

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted July 20, 2010 as for Norwich born......I''m loathed to say Danny Mills but I''m struggling to think of anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barclaystand 0 Posted July 21, 2010 During the time I''ve been watching Norwich it''s got to be Disco Dale Gordon. No doubt there''s been others who''ve preceded him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,531 Posted July 21, 2010 If the question allows for players whose main achievements came after they left Norwich (which was certainly the case with Mills) then it has to be Maurice Norman. Twenty-three caps for England, a World Cup, the League and Cup double and the European Cup Winners'' Cup. And it all started in Mulbarton... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
