TheGoogler 324 Posted June 3, 2011 Thinking about it, we seem to do quite well with Welsh strikers at Norwich. I remember Dave Phillips, Iwan Roberts and Rob Earnshaw. Any more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,351 Posted June 3, 2011 The sainted Geoffrey Watling [:D] Be you careful Purple old boy. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences on this board!
