About Norwich City
Norwich City are the Canaries, and the name is older than the kit: the city was a centre of canary breeding brought over by Flemish weavers, and the club changed to yellow and green in 1907 to match. Carrow Road has been home since 1935.
The peak was 1992-93. Norwich led the inaugural Premier League for much of the season and finished third, their highest ever placing, which took them into the UEFA Cup. There they beat Bayern Munich at the Olympiastadion — the first English club ever to win on that ground.
Two League Cups sit in the cabinet, from 1962 and 1985, and the second came in a season that ended in relegation, which is very Norwich. So is Delia Smith, majority shareholder and the author of the most replayed half-time appeal in English football.
Since then the club has become the definitive yo-yo side, going up and coming down with a regularity that borders on the ceremonial — and producing, in Teemu Pukki and Grant Holt, two of the most loved strikers outside the top six.
