I’ll go for the following five legends:
Mike Bassett for winning them the Mr Clutch trophy and the open top bus getting lost.
Ullathorne for the look on his face after Gunn’s air kick.
Gunn for the look on his face after that air kick.
Lee Chadwick for the look on his irritating face after he was booted into the stand in 2006. Cleaned right out😃
Megson for the joy it gave me when he headed into his own net.
Oh, special award to Delia for the drunken rant on the pitch. One of the funniest most cringeworthy things you’ll ever see. [Post edited 25 Apr 2023 13:58]

Re Pukki "one of their greatest ever players"...
'88 goals in five seasons, including double figures twice in the PL fronting an inadequate team.'
Wow.
Really embarrassing stuff even by their own cringe participatory standards. |  |

One of my favourites has to be Dean Ashton being in their Hall Of ‘Fame’.
44 appearances, 17 goals, one hat-trick, a relegation and then jumped ship the very next transfer window, having achieved the square root of f*** all at Norwich.
Retired at 26. Presumably from embarrassment. |

Can't see anything there about them expecting to go straight back up, but I expect they did. Most relegated clubs do expect to and they had done several times in the last few seasons. Their lack of investment in trying to stay up is on the basis they then bounce straight back up.
However, I did find this amusing "One of our greatest ever players is leaving. I imagine many of us will be there to say thanks."
Imagine counting the likes of Pukki and Holt among their "greatest ever players"! |
and understandably so. He was the spearhead for them stomping up again from the third div, and scored a painfully memorable hat trick at PR in that humiliation under Jewell (I think he did anyway?).
Pukki has presumably been relegated as many times or more with them as promoted? A tidy striker for sure, but it's really scraping the barrel to have to label him as one of their "greatest ever players". It's embarrassing, but I guess if you don't strive to be a "big club", or even medium sized, then yer gonna reap what you sow eventually. | |

Pukki one of their ‘greatest ever players’. A forward with 22 top flight goals for them.
Greatest ever players.
Absolute state of that football club. |

I hate Norwich as much as the next man and love to see them imploding but you can't bash them for their love of Pukki. I think that's a bit unfair.
He scored 25-30 goals to get them promoted twice and then scored a fairly decent tally when they were crap in the Prem so we'd be the same if he was ours.
We idolise Marcus Stewart (my favourite ever player) but he only scored 25 top flight goals for us. Does that make him less of a legend here? Not a chance. |
I hear that, but there's a really big difference with Marcus in that his 20 goal haul fired us to fifth in the Prem. Pukki's admittedly decent goal haul seasons were in the second division. So yes, I guess they can eulogise all they like, but in doing so they are admitting to being a second division club, basically. Arf! | |
