Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted January 2, 2011 I was just wondering if ,as a calendar year (as opposed to a season), was 2010 the best ever in Norwich''s history?If there was a better one,then I''d guess some of you statisticians will have the details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted January 2, 2011 I take it you mean the points total and wins throughout the year rather than the relative success of winning the third tier.I very much doubt the club have ever won 27 league games in a calendar year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longy 1 Posted January 2, 2011 1993 would be my answer, finish 3rd in the top flight beat Bayern Munich.Though statistically you maybe right, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Yes. Just the percentage of points gained or matches won/drawn,irrespective as to whatever league we were in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted January 2, 2011 Leaving statistics aside, hard to ignore 1959. The greatest ever giant-killing FA Cup run (although we played rounds one and two in 1958 the big scalps all came in 1959) and then a strong start to the following season that laid the foundations for promotion to the Second Division.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,738 Posted January 2, 2011 If were talking calendar year, then 1986 must have been a pretty good one in terms of points total. In the 2nd half of the 85/86 season we won the 2nd division at a canter whilst in the first half of the 86/87 season started fairly well after prmotion and actually were at the top of the then Division 1 for a week in October. Cant remember where we were in the league at the turn of the year but finished 5th at the end of that season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
