Your worst Norwich City......

[GJP 79]

[quote user="Gareth"]Player: John Hartson (Useless fat, bald tw@t)


[/quote]

Think that''s a bit uncalled for, to be honest.

 

Yes, he was clearly out of shape when he arrived here but despite that you could still see what had made the guy such a good footballer in his prime.

 

He''s also a very good guy who talks a lot of sense.

 

I''d rather have a genuine guy like him, who had actually some real talent, in my team any day of the week (even overweight) rather than a flippin'' no mark "big I am" like Mark Fotheringham.

[quote user="Gareth"]Player: John Hartson (Useless fat, bald tw@t)[/quote]Do you mean the "Useless fat, bald twat" that set up Jamie Cureton''s equaliser against 1p5wich?

1. fotheringham , only norwich player i think i''ve ever disliked while playing (?) for us(although nowadays ex canary would always be danny mills)2. definitely ullathorne-gunn-1p5wich3.was gonna say arsenal 2-4 in about ''87,''88, because my dad took me and a few friends as it was my birthday and it is one of the first matches i remember (though i know i went as early as the milk cup final - but its not how i remember it. then someone mentioned the everton semi in 89, and this is definitely the one, because it was a horrible daym, and such an inconsequential match.4. roeder5.still fotheringham6. although it will always be remembered for our greatest ever match it gotta be the bird poo one circa 1993

[/quote]Your probably right about me being harsh. I usually am. And you''re right in his prime he was a good player (as the stats prove) He did try, but he was overweight and, quite frankly not that good. However thinking back on it I can think of other player I disliked more so my worst Norwich player is...Player: Fotheringham

[Grant the Cat 0]

1. Player - Brian Mcgovern

2. Goal - Rob Ullathorne OG for Ipswich

3. Match you''ve been to - Colchester 7-1

4. Manager - Glenn Roeder (I predicted the day we signed him that we''d be relegated within 2 years!)

5. Captain - Neil Emblen

6. Kit - The prem 04-05 (where the collar was round with the slit on the side)

[dhickl 0]

1. Player -   Tracey

2. Goal -    Geoff Horsfield, in the play-off final

3. Match you''ve been to -   Norwich vs Man City - ''99 I think.  I was hoping to see their big names at the time (Kinkladze, Weah, etc) but they were all injured, I was in the old family corner, which was half empty and it was 0-0

4. Manager  -    Bryan Hamilton

5. Captain -    Emblem

6. Kit - Don''t know why, but just didn''t like this one.

[Mr Wolf 0]

1. Player – Ian Henderson

2. Goal – Random, but Robbie Blake completing a hat-trick in front of Barclay in a 4-1 defeat to Bradford when he ran past block E doing that infuriating hand behind the ear thing.

3. Match you''ve been to -   Swansea away this season

4. Manager  - Roeder

5. Captain – Fotheringham

6. Kit – 2008 Xara Aviva

[Huh?! 0]

1. Julien Brellier

2. Darren Carter pen in play-off final

3. Norwich 1 - 7 Colchester

4. Glenn Roedent

5. Mark Fotheringham

6. None

 

[Away Day Specialist 0]

1. Player - Too many over the years to choose one, anyone with a complete lack of effort for the cause .

2. Goal - 

Every single one of those Colchester goals was painful the seventh was like a dagger to the heart

3. Match you''ve been to - Reading away during the dark days (the day we

signed Earnie I think) I was late and arrived twenty minutes in and we

were 2-0 down. Let after about 65 minutes when it was 4-0. Truely woeful

and the shortest game I have ever attended by a long way.

4. Manager - Roeder

- a manager with premiership knowledge and contacts and experience but

systematically dismantled the team, disrupted the player morale,

alienated himself from the fans and left the club in a real state.

5. Captain - Fotheringham - a player who often was not good enough to

make the starting XI yet was the captain and inspirational leader - go

figure.

6. Kit - The asics vomit kit

[Away Day Specialist 0]

*Ribero vomit kit - still nasty

[/quote]Hadn''t he just dived to win them a penalty? That was one of only two home defeats in our title season, we outplayed them for most of the match and that little sh*t kept popping up at crucial moments.And to the poster who reminded me of Brian McGovern – he has to be up there with the worst of them. Shaun Carey, anyone? Boy did we have some useless players in our nine-year exile...

[Jonzey 0]

1. Player - Andy Marshall, purely for leaving to join the binners.

2. Goal - o.g at Portman Road left me on the floor with my hands over my head for several minutes.

3. Match you''ve been to - Luckily I missed the Colchester humiliation. My worst was certainly Fulham away in 2005. That was one long journey home.

4. Manager - Roeder. Obviously. Ratman was a proven loser before joining. Breaking up the team, getting rid of a still fantastic Huckerby and installing Fotheringham as his Captain?? It''s as if he wanted to fail. Then his comments to the media, arsh@le!!!

5. Captain - Fotheringham. Again, obviously.

6. Kit - The Colmans kit. Just horrible.

[Pabs 0]

1. Player -   Andy Hughes; I know he ended up getting a cult following but he epitomised everything that was wrong with us last time we got relegated from the PL.
2. Goal -  Probably Robbie Fowler getting the winner in the 3-2 win at CR in the Prem after we had been 2-0 up and Delia had her half-time rant.  It was about the 92nd minute and the ball trickled apologetically over the line.  Just gutting...
3. Match you''ve been to -  The 0-6 humbling at Fulham, partly the terrible nature of the defeat and ineptitude of the players, partly that I had to get back to Nottingham after with a severe headache after consuming too much beer. 

 4. Manager -  Glen Roeder.  The man was just a disgrace to our club.

 5. Captain -   A few have worn the armband for no apparant reason - Fotheringham, Doherty come to mind. 
 

6. Kit - The one designed by Bruce Oldfield with the stripe down the side and everything shoved to the side.  Horrible, and itchy.

[Evesham Canary 0]

1. Sibierski just because he looked like he couldn''t give a toss what happened when he was here. Gary Brady, Theoklitis & Simon Tracey run him very close.2. John Byrne for Sunderland in 1992 FA Cup semi.3. Col U 1-7 or the 92 semi final.4. Hamilton just ahead of Roeder & Gunn.5.Fotheringham - an unusual tactic of making your worst player Captain....6. Probably the all yellow kit & the change kit that year which was all green. Both made from really nasty material.

[SnakepitCanary 0]

I''ve been supporting City since 1998.

1. Player - Tough one, we''ve had some real shit in the past. Probably Fotheringham, but I''ll add Jamie Cureton too to be different.

2. Goal - Can''t think of any specifically apart from any goal by Danny Haynes against us.

3. Match you''ve been to - 1 - 7. Second was probably when we lost to QPR the last game before Grant got sacked. Terrible performance and everyone looked grim.

4. Manager - Roeder, easy.

5. Captain - Fotheringham.

6. Kit - Probably the 1997-1999 Colmans shirt.

[Gary Football 0]

1. Player - Fotheringham, Sherwood, Otsemobor, Andy Marshall... somehow Danny Mills wins.

2. Goal - So many to choose from, Gunn vs scum is hard to beat.

3. Match you''ve been to - Sunderland was bad but ultimately it was only the FA Cup, Brum on pens was excruciating but just bad luck, Colchester was shocking but acted as a catalyst for our subsequent success, so the worst has to be Fulham which was completely inexcusable.

4. Manager - Roeder, who is also inexcusable.

5. Captain - Fotheringham – how did it happen?

6. Kit - the blue tartan one – whose sick idea was that???

[Sephiroth Owa 0]

1. Player - Mathias Jonson. Wha.... Ho.....Why?2. Goal - Kuqi''s last minute winner for Palace a few seasons back. He came on and was booed, then went on to do just what players do when that happens.

3. Match you''ve been to - Swansea away this season. 14 hour round trip on a coach with broken heating system. No-one to talk to on the coach as he was more interested glued to his phone. 3-0 loss... Bleh.

4. Manager - Roeder. Never understood the WH and Newcastle fans'' hatred towards him. Can now.

5. Captain - Fotheringham. Had a ''few'' good games for us when he had been out for some reason. But was by NO stretch of the imagination a captain. Would be anonymous for LONG periods of games.

6. Kit - The first Lotus away green shirt. I really did not like that kit for some reason. Also, the first Colman home shirt. What the hell was with the material?

[Europe_93 50]

Player - Fernando De Veld

Goal - John ''the bast*rd'' Byrne - a dream evaporated.

Match - 4-1 away to Swindon in the Simod Cup, with about 30 other Norwich fans on an open terrace in Mid Jan, football shirt only, abou -2 degrees and a wind chill of -1000 degrees!!

Manager - Roeder

Captain - not sure really,

Worst Kit - without the green & yellow tinted specs, the first premier league top, doesn''t stop me loving it though.

[Syteanric 1]

1. Player - Carl Robinson.... we have had some dross over the years but he really did take the biscuit! still the worst player I have ever seen and how he ever became a professional is beyond me... i can only assume he owed someone money.2. Goal - any of the 6 against fulham3. Match you''ve been to -   The scum away when we got relegated to League 1.4. Manager  - Roeder!5. Captain - Matt Jackson... another player i despised with a passion!6. Kit - The new one!

[Syteanric 1]

[quote user="Bruce Eats Walkers"]1. Player - Juan Velasco, Ian Murray, Julien Brellier What were we thinking that season???

2. Goal - Counago, scum away 2002 after Bentsen Pen hit the post, wouldn''t have counted now as no city player had touched it before 2nd shot (which Greeno amazingly saved) had been taken. [/quote]sorry to pick you up on this but it would count... If Bent hit the post and Counago was the first player to touch the ball its a goal... it doesnt have to hit a defending player first... the only exception is if the ball rebounds to the player that took the penalty....Dean Windass had a goal ruled out against us vs Bradford for this very reason... he took the penalty, hit the post.. put the rebound in and it was chalked out.

[Barclay hero 0]

1. Player - Peschisolido - typical end of career player just picking up a wagepacket and doing nothing else

2. Goal - For us - the penalty against Bradford that earned us a draw and could have promoted the binners

Against - the Gunny "Airkick own goal" vs the Binners

3. Match you''ve been to -   Losing 0-5 at the Binners place

4. Manager  - Smeggy Megson

5. Captain - Not sure Ive had one.....

6. Kit - The All Yellow kit from 98ish - we''re yellow AND green

[Show Me What You Gooot! 0]

Player - Fotheringham

Goal - Any scored by Fotheringham

Match - Any Fotheringham played in

Manager - Fotheringham (I had a nightmare he was announced as our replacement for Lambert. Nightmares count here)

Captain - Ummm.....Fotheringham?

Kit - Any worn by that steaming pile known as Fotheringham
