Pukki fine, he's just left, and I get why he has cult status. Huckerby was years ago though, why are they talking about him in the same breath as Pukki? These can't be their two best ever players in their fans' eyes? I mean... really...?
EDIT: Is there a caveat somewhere, like best players in the last twenty or whatever years...? [Post edited 10 May 2023 19:26]

If we are allowed to go back into the mists of time Duncan Forbes was a very good club man for Norwich, but umpteen better ITFC players than him. |  | | |

You'd argue that Sutton and Bellemy were both better than Huckerby surely? |  |

Fair play though, good player and a cracking pantomime villain. I'd buy him a pint. |  |

Yeh I think they must be talking about recent (last two decades or whatever) time. Why it's 50 players better though, god knows. I guess this idiot thinks it's good trolling, watching a few of us twits quickly post tons of better players. Not sure who's the more tragic tbh, arf :) | |

Aren't Martin Peters and Jan Molby their best ever players? Just fail to mention they only payed for them at the end of their careers after they were good enough to play at the top level.
It would be interesting how you judge the best players. Transfer fees would be a little unfair on those who didn't move at the peak of their careers (and would probably put Ricky van Wolfswinkel top!), honours is a good guideline and Kropotin has listed some of those to have eclipsed them with us. Top flight and international appearance records would add many more to our list, I am sure (although Pukey has played for Finland quite a bit hasn't he?).
The truth is that we definitely have the history. For a decade or so they have enjoyed riding above us in the league whilst still achieving very little. It would be nice for us to restore the proper order of things ... although we are not quite there yet. |  |

Would be stupid to suggest Pukki or Huckerby would be higher than anyone who won the league
1 Roy Bailey
2 Billy Baxter
3 Larry Carberry
4 John Compton
5 Andy Nelson
6 John Elsworthy
7 Jimmy Leadbetter
8 Roy Stephenson
9 Ray Crawford
10 Doug Moran
11 Ted Phillips
Likewise the UEFA Cup and finishing 2nd in the league
12 Paul Cooper
13 George Burley
14 Terry Butcher
15 Steve McCall
16 Mick Mills
17 Russell Osman
18 Arnold Mühren
19 Frans Thijssen
20 John Wark
21 Alan Brazil
22 Eric Gates
23 Paul Mariner
And none of them are better than the FA Cup players, so you can add
23 Brian Talbot
24 Allan Hunter
25 Kevin Beattie
26 Roger Osborne
27 David Geddis
28 Clive Woods
Other notable players when Ipswich finished in the top six for 9/10 seasons
29 Bryan Hamilton
30 Trevor Whymark
31 David Johnson (1)
32 Colin Viljoen
Significant players that contributed to us finishing 5th under Burley
33 Richard Wright
34 Fabian Wilnis
35 Jamie Clapham
36 John McGreal
37 Mark Venus
38 Titus Bramble
39 Hermann Hreiðarsson
40 Jim Magilton
41 Matt Holland
42 Martijn Reuser
43 James Scowcroft
44 Marcus Stewart
Better players from Lyall's team
45 Craig Forrest
46 David Linighan
47 Simon Milton
48 Mick Stockwell
49 Jason Dozzell
50 Chris Kiwomya
Better players that I'm excluding because I think their achievements were elsewhere
- Dalian Atkinson
- Darren Bent
- Kieran Dyer
- Jonathon Walters
- Tyrone Mings
- Aaron Creswell
- Mauricio Taricco
I looked at Pukki and honestly, 22 goals across to dreadful relegation seasons is pretty bad. So there could be arguments for many more.
Eg, Marshall, Zondervan, Mogga, etc. No doubt I've missed some important players from the Robson era. |
That is a superb list, well done Kropotkin123 | |

If we're talking ageing old pros who gave us their final playing years:
Sylvain Legwinski played at a very high level prior to joining us (won 2 French league title with Monaco, lots of Champions League experience).
Ivan Campo was a twice Champions League winner.
Not forgetting Ajax and Nigeria legend Finidi George and league champion and golden boot winner Lee Chapman [Post edited 11 May 2023 10:11]

Jay Tabb (just for Hoppy) |
I was just reading through and was outraged he’d been forgotten up until this point!
Edit: I don’t know how his stats compare with the yellow one with a certain hat?

It’s a daft concept, but as we’re talking about Ipswich players who are better than Norwich players I’ll weigh in with some top bantz:
Graham Harbey | | | |

Kevin Reeves was better than both and in terms of goals so was Justin Fashanu.
Kevin Drinkell was a decent player too.
I would love to know the age of the person posing the question - somewhere between 15 and 25 I would guess. Just goes to show that despite their comparative success, they have lacked real standout players in the last few years.
But then, prior to the last 18 months of so, so did we. | | | |

Oh it is, it's quite funny, Huckerby has taken it well
Most of the Norwich fans in reply aren't really questioning it, there's just a few salty replies about Fabian Wilnis and one or two others like Jamie Clapham and Chris Kiwomya
Ian Marshall as an example, is probably a little underated, he probably had a similar record to Pukki in the Prem for us as an example? | |

Just to quickly point out we still don't really have any stand out players. In fact some of them have moved down a league to league 1 to join us under cook. Some have moved from premier clubs because they didn't make it at those clubs. Not saying they are not good players just need to prove it next season. | | | |

Time will tell how good some of the current crop are, certainly | |

I don't consider Huckerby or even Pukki to be in their top tier of players
The point is, the players they consider legends, wouldn't be legends in our list on most cases, that's just a reality | |
