2. Scroll the page up-and-down, close your eyes and randomly point at the screen fifty times. Almost certain that you’ll pick-up 50 players better than Pukki and Huckerby…well unless you happen to click on Tony Dinning.

I'm at 22 at the moment but there must be so many gems I am missing, there must be some from the 90's I'm overlooking

David Johnson (1)
Darren Bent
Kieran Dyer

George Burley
Tony Mowbray
Richard Wright

It probably wouldn't be unfair to say there's 3 or 4 great Norwich players who would make our list but that's about it

Martin Peters
Craig Bellamy
Mick Shannon
Chris Sutton

But there won't be much more than that

These three are probably in the next tier down
Hoolahan maybe?
Huckerby
Pukki
Bruce


Although Martin Peters and Mick Channon were well past their best when they went to nodge.

If they are claiming Channon and Peters then we can have Campo and Findi George.

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

Does it need to be players who were better than them while they played for us, or at any point in their career? Kieron Dyer was clearly better than Pukki or Huckerby, but his best years were after he left us, let's be honest.

I hummed and I hahed but with hand on heart I don't think I can justify putting forward Graham Harbey on this occasion.

In all seriousness, I would presume that Norwich fans think of those two as two of their best ever players? I do. To be asking Town fans for 50 (fifty) (FIFTY) better Town players just goes to illustrate their MASSIVE inferiority complex. I would think there might be fifty, but I could only name about thirty. Mind you I'm too young to know anything about our League Title Winning team.


In fairness, that was in response to a Town fan saying 50.

And Sylvain Legwinski, Matt Elliott and Phil Parkes.
Legwinski played brilliantly, and Elliott very well, for us, albeit at second tier level.

Campo is a debatable one. He played very few games for Real Madrid, and his career highpoints really came at Bolton. Jimmy Bullard could go in as a debatable one with Huckerby, personally I think his career, over all, surpasses Pukki's.

And we shouldn't forget that Laurie Sivell played for Germany.

Has anyone said Tony Mowbray yet? Or Kieron Dyer? Or David Geddis?

I would genuinely rather have peak Steve Whitton in my team over peak Huckerby. He rarely wasted the ball, whereas Huckerby seemed to be one of those wingers who always want to do a little bit too much with it, always score the outrageous goal rather than play in a team mate for a tap in.

I might be biased against him, admittedly.

Sutton was clearly better than both Huckerby and Pukki. As was Steve Bruce.

the point then would be so which league winning title team :)

we can name at least 12 who have just played for England, Marcus Stewart was our 65th inductee into the hall of fame (which does include managers,chairmen and club secretaries, but there are more than 50players in it)

and we dont even have to go for the random loan players like Jimmy Bullard, or some kid who made 1 appearance in a cup competition but turned out to be the next big thing after we sold him, Ruud Gullit had a trial here, we could even claim Jordan Rhodes.

Trevor Chalobah plays 1st team for Chelsea, Aaron Cresswell at West Ham. David McGoldrick Forest.

Begovic played for Town, Flynn Downes, back in the 80s Kevin Wilson, Dalian Atkinson, 90s Mark Stein

weve had Kieron Dyer, Allan Hunter, Matt Holland, Crawford, Phillips the list is big.

youve got to remember their fans think Iwan Roberts was a quality forward its no wonder they think Pukki and Huckerby are "world class" in comparison.

I’m confused by the rules…

Do the players need to have been better whilst playing for us, or in their careers?

Because you’d need to go back some if we want 50 players when playing for us.

Whilst I don’t want to side with them, he’s been a great servant. Scoring plenty of goals for various promotions

I mean, Huckerby's only Premier League season with Norwich saw them finish 19th, so we can jot down pretty much anyone

(a) who played for us between 1972 and 1985
(b) anyone who played for us in 1961-62
(c) anyone who played for us in 2000-01

That's true but Dyer still made England squads whilst with us - Huckerby once made an England B squad...

Good Luck! This is a hard one as it pains me to say Pukki has been a really good player! Kind of one those players I can't help but respect while hating their choices for empoyer.

Anyone said Russell Osman yet? 500 of his near 600 league appearances were in the top flight (nearly 300 of those for Town). 11 full international caps.

Huckerby? I suppose he only got relegated once, rather than however many times Pukki did with them.

I may have that wrong though...

Can't believe no-one's said Dalian Atkinson yet.


He's one of our most talented ever prospects I'd say but didn't fulfill his potential and could have been a real star

I don't think Connor is quite in the same ballpark but he hasn't half wasted his career

You can probably suggest Darren Ambrose had a reasonable career, probably better than people appreciate but he's another who could have been awesome

As much as it pains me to say this, Daryl Murphy can’t be above Pukki or Huckerby in a list on footballing ability, He had one blistering season for Ipswich, Both Huckerby and Pukki saw Norwich to promotion and were their best attackers for numerous seasons including premier league ones.
