Katie Borkins 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Well well well. It would seem our transatlantic cousins don''t have a special relationship when it comes to Norwich City defenders.http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/zak_whitbread_misses_out_on_usa_gold_cup_call_1_904732Which reminds me, speaking of food - why not share with me your favourite Norwich City player who was named after an edible item of food or fruit?I was always a fan of our 1975 Player of the Year, the legendary Colin Suggett. Now I know that technically he isn''t named after a piece of food, but his name does rhyme with "chicken nugget" so I''ll allow it as a technicality. What say you?

Fozzie 0 Posted May 26, 2011 Mine has to be Ruel Fox. Now I know that technically he isn''t named after a piece of food, but his name does rhyme with "box", which some foods are packaged in (pizzas, cakes, etc).Just observing the strict rules for this little game.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted May 27, 2011 Splendid, splendid. And all the better because the inner quadrant haven''t arrived to poop on our collective parade. Honourable mentions to Mark "T" Bowen, and the Ian Culver"House special of the day". What''s a pound of butterworth in the UK these days? Over here it''s around $4.98 a kilo but that might be the locals having a joke at my expense. Ah, here comes my home help. I''ll speak to you all later.

Kolin Kob 0 Posted May 27, 2011 [quote user="Bore Bore Bor"]why not share with me your favourite Norwich City player who was named after an edible item of food or fruit? [/quote]Great post. This is an issue I think about a lot.Keith Briggs - Pigs - BaconRaymond De Waard - Board - Cheese BoardChris Sutton - MuttonChris Woods - FoodsIt''s incredible!! Never realised before! Is this the reason we signed all these players? Because the managers were hungry? I have an image in my head of Nigel Worthington missing breakfast, and when it got to 11 o''clock, he says to Doug Livermore: "I''m hungry! Get me some bacon!" Livermore got confused and bought Keith Briggs. Easy mistake to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
