Either you''re 10 years old or suffering from dementia.... [/quote]How right you are Cluckbert! During my ten years in control, and I''m not boasting, just being factual - we finished third, fourth and fifth in the top flight, reached two FA Cup semi-finals and during one season stayed at the top of the first division longer than any other club. Rarely does a club as small as Norwich hold the top spot for so long. Yes, they were the real glory days for "Little Norwich". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelmsford Canary 0 Posted October 5, 2010 Does not matter what I say, as everyone on here is so clicky - but what Worthy did for this club was beyond brilliant.A team with no one outstanding (except Hucks and Greeno), one stand missing, limited budget, etc etcUnfortunatley, everyone got such high expectations, and expected us to bounce back, and when he didn''t the daggers came out!Cue the abuse...no i''m not related to him or Nutty in disguise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "back 8" system we employed, often at home aswell as away under NW was at times testing, but it was effective. Huckerbys'' runs down the wing weren''t an example of attractive football ? What about Earnshaws'' lightning fast poaching in the box ? Worthington didn''t acheive what Stringer, Brown et al did, but Worthington had to operate in an era of silly TV money, professional athletes and sports science.

. 0 Posted October 5, 2010 Worthington typified everything that was wrong under Smith''s ''little old Norwich'' regime.....Open top buses for a team that failed in the play-offs.... gushing ''appreciation'' for being allowed to play against the ''big'' teams etc etc.He was a little man working for a little woman achieving very little..........

blahblahblah 2 Posted October 5, 2010 Things were better in your day Cluck eh ? It is sad that what was bread and butter to us in the 80s (promotion and relegation to and from the top tier) became the glory days for a younger generation, but we fell out of the top level at just the wrong time. And you can thank the fat controller for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly too many ungrateful ''fans'' felt we had a God given right to stay in the top flight..... which is absurd for a club with such limited resources. I repeat that McNally etc.would give his eye teeth to have the trifling 6 million debt and stack of assets Robert Chase left behind.... not to mention the great legacy of Geoffrey Watling. Delia Smith had the lot and blew it.Now we are seemingly happy to be an average Division Two club ''punching above it''s weight''........ and a tired old celebrity keeping her mug in the papers.
