Norwich City Football Club (also known as The Canaries or The Yellows) is an English professional football club based in Norwich, Norfolk. As of the 2022–23 season, Norwich compete in the EFL Championship, the second tier of the English football league system. The club was founded in 1902. Since 1935, Norwich have played their home games at Carrow Road and have a long-standing rivalry with East Anglian rivals Ipswich Town, with whom they have contested the East Anglian derby since 1902.

Current season

Norwich have won the League Cup twice, in 1962 and 1985. The club's highest ever league finish came in the 1992–93 season when they finished third in the Premier League. Norwich have featured in the UEFA Cup once, in the 1993–94 season, where they were defeated in the third round, but en route became the first English club to defeat German side Bayern Munich at the Olympiastadion in Munich.

The club is nicknamed "The Canaries" after the history of breeding the birds in the area, which is represented in the team's yellow-and-green kits. The fans' song "On the Ball, City" is the oldest football chant in the world, written in the 1890s and still sung today.

History

Main article: History of Norwich City F.C.

Early years (1902–1934)

Norwich City F.C. was formed after a meeting at the Criterion Café in Norwich on 17 June 1902 and played their first competitive match, against Harwich & Parkeston, at Newmarket Road on 6 September 1902.[2] They joined the Norfolk & Suffolk League for the 1902–03 season,[3] but following a FA commission, the club was ousted from the amateur game in 1905, as it was deemed a professional organisation. Later that year Norwich were elected to play in the Southern League. With increasing crowds, they were forced to leave Newmarket Road in 1908 and moved to The Nest, a disused chalk pit. The club's original nickname was the Citizens, but this was superseded by 1907 by the Canaries after the club's chairman (who was a keen breeder of canaries) dubbed his boys "The Canaries" and changed their strip to yellow and green. During the First World War, with football suspended and facing spiralling debts, City went into voluntary liquidation on 10 December 1917.[4]

The club was officially reformed on 15 February 1919 – a key figure in the event was Charles Frederick Watling, future lord mayor of Norwich and the father of future club chairman, Geoffrey Watling.[5] When the Football League formed a third Division in May 1920, Norwich joined the Third Division for the following season.[6] Their first league fixture, against Plymouth Argyle, on 28 August 1920, ended in a 1–1 draw. The club went on to endure a mediocre decade, finishing no higher than eighth but no lower than 18th.[4] The following decade proved more successful for the club with a club-record victory, 10–2, over Coventry City.[7] Norwich were promoted as champions to the Second Division in the 1933–34 season under the management of Tom Parker.[8][9]

Move to Carrow Road and an FA Cup semi-final (1934–1959)

With crowds continuing to rise, and with the Football Association raising concerns over the suitability of The Nest, the club considered renovation of the ground, but ultimately decided on a move to Carrow Road. The inaugural match, on 31 August 1935 against West Ham United, ended in a 4–3 victory for the home team and set a new record attendance of 29,779. The biggest highlight of the following four seasons was the visit of King George VI to Carrow Road on 29 October 1938.[4] However the club was relegated to the Third Division at the end of the season.[10]

The league was suspended the following season due to the Second World War, and did not resume until the 1946–47 season.[4] City finished this and the following season in 21st place,[11][12] the poor results forcing the club to apply for re-election to the league.[13] The club narrowly missed out on promotion under the guidance of manager Norman Low in the early 1950s, but following the return of Tom Parker as manager, Norwich finished bottom of the football league in the 1956–57 season.[14]

Events off the field were to overshadow the team's performances as the club faced financial difficulties severe enough to render them non-viable.[15] With debts amounting to more than £20,000, the club was rescued by the formation of a new board, chaired by Geoffrey Watling and the creation of an appeal fund chaired by the Lord Mayor of Norwich, Arthur South, which raised more than £20,000.[15] For these and other services to the club, both men (now deceased) were later honoured by having stands named after them at Carrow Road.[a]

Archie Macaulay became manager when the club was reformed and he oversaw one of the club's greatest achievements, its run to the semi-final of the 1958–59 FA Cup.[15] Competing as a Third Division side, Norwich defeated two First Division opponents along the way, notably a 3–0 win against the Manchester United "Busby Babes".[16][17] City lost the semi-final only after a replay against another First Division side, Luton Town.[13][18] The team of 1958–59 – including Terry Bly who scored seven goals in the run, and Ken Nethercott who played most of the second half of one match in goal despite a dislocated shoulder – is today well represented in the club Hall of Fame.[15][17] The "59 Cup Run" as it is now known locally,[19] "remains as one of the truly great periods in Norwich City's history".[17] Norwich were the third-ever Third Division team to reach the FA Cup semi-final.[17]

League Cup glory and a place in the First Division (1959–1980)

In the 1959–60 season, Norwich were promoted to the Second Division after finishing second to Southampton, and achieved a fourth-place finish in the 1960–61 season.[13] In 1962 Ron Ashman guided Norwich to their first trophy, defeating Rochdale 4–0 on aggregate in a two-legged final to win the League Cup.[20]

Sixth place in the league was the closest the club came to promotion to the First Division again during the 1960s, but after winning the division in the 1971–72 season under manager Ron Saunders, Norwich City reached the highest level of English football for the first time.[21] They made their first appearance at Wembley Stadium in 1973,[22] losing the League Cup final 1–0 to Tottenham Hotspur.[23]

Relegation to the Second Division in 1973–74 season came after Saunders had departed and been succeeded by John Bond, but the board of directors kept faith in Bond and were quickly rewarded.[21] A highly successful first season saw promotion back to the First Division,[24] and another visit to Wembley, again in the League Cup final, this time losing 1–0 to Aston Villa.[25]

Promotion, silverware and more cup runs (1980–1992)

Bond departed to Manchester City in autumn 1980,[26] and the club were relegated six months later,[24] but bounced back the following season after finishing third under Bond's successor Ken Brown.[27] In August 1981, Norwich City striker Justin Fashanu became the first black footballer to command a £1 million transfer fee when he moved to Nottingham Forest.[28]

The 1984–85 season was of mixed fortunes for the club; under Brown's guidance, they reached the final of the Football League Cup at Wembley Stadium, having defeated Ipswich Town in the semi-final.[29] In the final, they beat Sunderland 1–0,[29] but in the league, both Norwich and Sunderland were relegated to the second tier of English football.[30] This made Norwich the first English club to win a major trophy and suffer relegation in the same season; something which was not matched until Birmingham City also suffered relegation the season they won the League Cup 26 years later.[31]

Norwich were also denied their first foray into Europe with the ban on English clubs after the Heysel Stadium disaster.[32][33] City bounced back to the top flight by winning the Second Division championship in the 1985–86 season.[34] This was the start a club-record nine consecutive seasons in the top division of English football.[24] High league placing in the First Division in 1988–89 would have been enough for UEFA Cup qualification, but the ban on English clubs remained.[33] They also had good cup runs during this period, reaching the FA Cup semi-finals in 1989 and again in 1992.[35][36]

Early success in the Premier League era (1992–1995)

During 1992–93, the inaugural season of the Premier League, Norwich City quickly emerged as surprise title contenders,[37] before faltering in the final weeks to finish third behind the champions, Manchester United, and runners-up Aston Villa.[38] The following season Norwich participated in the UEFA Cup for the first (and only) time,[39] losing in the third round to Inter Milan, but defeating Bayern Munich. Winning 2–1, Norwich were the first British team to beat Bayern Munich in the Olympiastadion.[40][41]

Mike Walker quit as Norwich City manager in January 1994,[42] to take charge of Everton and was replaced by first team coach John Deehan who led the club to 12th place in the 1993–94 season in the Premier League.[43][44] Norwich began the 1994–95 season well, despite the pre-season departure of top scorer Chris Sutton to Blackburn Rovers for a British record fee of £5 million,[45] and by Christmas they were seventh in the league.[46] Norwich then won only one of their final 20 league games,[47] and slumped to 20th place and relegation, ending a nine-season run in the top flight.[48]

The First Division years (1995–2003)

Shortly before relegation, Deehan resigned as manager and his assistant Gary Megson took over until the end of the season.[49] Martin O'Neill, who had taken Wycombe Wanderers from the Conference to the Second Division with successive promotions, was appointed as Norwich City manager in summer 1995.[50] He lasted just six months in the job before resigning after a dispute with chairman Robert Chase over money to strengthen the squad.[51] Soon after, Chase stepped down after protests from supporters, who complained that he kept selling the club's best players and was to blame for their relegation.[52] Chase's majority stakeholding was bought by Geoffrey Watling.[53]

English television cook Delia Smith and husband Michael Wynn-Jones took over the majority of Norwich City's shares from Watling in 1996,[53] and Mike Walker was re-appointed as the club's manager.[54] He was unable to repeat the success achieved during his first spell and was dismissed two seasons later with Norwich mid-table in Division One.[55] Nigel Worthington took over as Norwich City manager in December 2000 following an unsuccessful two years for the club under Bruce Rioch and then Bryan Hamilton. He had been on the coaching staff under Hamilton who resigned with the club 20th in the First Division and in real danger of relegation to the third tier of English football for the first time since the 1960s.[56] Worthington avoided the threat of relegation and, the following season, led City to a play-off final at the Millennium Stadium, which Norwich lost against Birmingham City on penalties.[57]

Return to the Premier League (2003–2009)

The 2003–04 season saw the club win the First Division title, finishing eight points clear of second-placed West Bromwich Albion and returned to the top flight for the first time since 1995.[58] For much of the 2004–05 season, the club struggled and a last day 6–0 defeat away to Fulham condemned them to relegation.[59] The club finished in ninth place in the Championship in the 2005–06 season[60] and, as results in the 2006–07 season went against City, Worthington was dismissed in October 2006, directly after a 4–1 defeat by Burnley.[61]

In October 2006, Norwich announced that former City player Peter Grant had left West Ham United to become the new manager.[62] Grant's side struggled for most of the season and made a poor start to the 2007–08 season, with only two wins by mid October; following a 1–0 defeat at fellow-strugglers Queens Park Rangers, Grant left the club by mutual consent on in October 2007.[63] Later the same month, former Newcastle United manager Glenn Roeder was confirmed as Grant's replacement.[64] Roeder kept Norwich in the Championship with a 3–0 win over Queens Park Rangers, Norwich's penultimate game of the season.[65][66]

Yo-yo years (2009–present)

In January 2009, Roeder was relieved of his duties as manager[67] and, shortly after, former Norwich goalkeeper Bryan Gunn was appointed until the end of the season.[68] However, he was unable to prevent the club from being relegated on in May 2009, after a 4–2 defeat away to already relegated Charlton Athletic.[69] Following their relegation, their first game of the season resulted in a 7–1 home defeat against East Anglian rivals Colchester United. This was the club's heaviest ever home defeat and Gunn was dismissed six days later.[70]

On 18 August 2009, Paul Lambert was announced as the new manager, leaving his post at Colchester, and nine months later led Norwich to promotion back to the Championship as League One Champions, after a single season in League One.[71][72] The following season saw Norwich promoted to the Premier League, finishing second in the table and completing the first back-to-back promotions from the third tier to the first since Manchester City in 2000.[73]

The club finished in 12th place in their first season back in the Premier League.[74] However, Lambert resigned within a month of the season's close to take up the vacant managerial spot at league rivals Aston Villa and was replaced by Chris Hughton.[75] Hughton led Norwich to an 11th-place finish, including a ten-game unbeaten run in the league,[76][77] but they were relegated back to the Championship after the 2013–14 season. Hughton was dismissed to be replaced by former Norwich player Neil Adams.[78][79]

After a mediocre first half of the 2014–15 season, Adams resigned in January 2015 and Hamilton Academical manager Alex Neil was appointed as Norwich manager four days later.[80][81] The appointment reinvigorated Norwich's season, and victory in the 2015 Championship play-off final secured an immediate return to the top division of English football.[82] This was only temporary relief, as at the end of the next season they were relegated again to play the 2016–17 season in the Championship.[83]

The following season started successfully, with the club sitting top of the Championship in mid-October. However, a poor run of form and results followed and in March 2017, Neil was dismissed by the club.[84] First-team coach Alan Irvine was placed in caretaker charge for the remainder of the season, ultimately finishing in eighth.[85][86]

In May 2017, the club appointed German coach Daniel Farke as head coach, becoming the first head coach of the club in its 114-year history that was not from the British Isles.[87] In Farke's first season, Norwich finished in 14th place. The following season was far more successful; helped by top scorer Teemu Pukki, the club was promoted back to the Premier League after a three-year absence as Championship winners.[88] However, Norwich were once again relegated back to the Championship after just a single season back in the top flight, becoming the first team in Premier League history to be relegated five times from the division.[89] The yo-yo effect continued unabated: in May 2021, Norwich were crowned winners of the Championship, securing promotion back to the top flight at the first time of asking,[90] but they failed to win a match in their first nine games back in the Premier League in the 2021–22 season,[91] and Farke was dismissed by the club in November.[92][93] On 14 November 2021, the club appointed former Walsall, Brentford and Aston Villa manager Dean Smith as their new head coach.[94] Norwich completed a record sixth relegation from the Premier League,[95] and, after an indifferent first half of the following season, Smith was dismissed in December 2022.[96]

On 6 January 2023, the club appointed former Huddersfield Town, Schalke and Young Boys manager David Wagner as their new head coach.[97]

Colours and badge

Norwich City's nickname, "The Canaries", has long influenced the team's colours and badge. Originally, the club was nicknamed the "Citizens" ("Cits" for short), and played in light blue and white halved shirts,[4] although the halves were inconsistent: the blue was on the left on some shirts, and on the right for others.[98] The earliest known recorded link between the club and canaries comes in an interview recorded in the Eastern Daily Press with the newly appointed manager, John Bowman in April 1905. The paper quotes him saying "Well I knew of the City's existence ... I have ... heard of the canaries."[99] "This as far as we can tell is the first time that the popular pastime of the day ie ... rearing ... canaries was linked with Norwich City FC... the club still played in blue and white, and would continue to do so for another two seasons" wrote one history of the club.[99]

By February 1907, the nickname Canaries had come more into vogue; thoughts that an FA Cup tie against West Bromwich Albion (nicknamed "Throstles" after a bird) was "a bird -singing contest" were dismissed by the polymath C. B. Fry as "humbug" but the national press increasingly referred to the team as Canaries.[100] The following season, to match the nickname, City played for the first time in Canary livery; "yellow shirts with green collars and cuffs. One paper produced the quote 'The Cits are dead but the Canaries are very much alive'."[101] While the home colours of yellow and green remain to this day, the away colours have varied since introduction. For example, the away kit for the 2012–13 season was black shirts and shorts.[102]

A simple canary badge was first adopted in 1922.[103] The current club badge consists of a canary resting on a football with a stylised version of the City of Norwich arms in the top left corner.[104] For the club's centenary celebrations in 2002, a special badge was designed, featuring two canaries looking left and right, plus a ribbon noting the centenary.[105]

In November 2021, the club unveiled a new club badge that officially replaced the previous badge on all club branding from June 2022 and that would appear on club shirts from the 2022–23 season. It is a modernised version of its predecessor that removed black keylines around the badge, a redesigned version of the city's coat of arms that more closely resembles a lion and Norwich Castle, and a redesigned canary on a ball that's more centralised in the badge than its predecessor.[106]

Stadium

Main article: Carrow Road

Norwich City played at Newmarket Road from 1902 to 1908, with a record attendance of 10,366 against Sheffield Wednesday in a second round FA Cup match in 1908.[107] Following a dispute over the conditions of renting the Newmarket Road ground, in 1908 the club moved to a new home in a converted disused chalk pit in Rosary Road which became known as "The Nest".[108] By the 1930s, the ground was too small for the growing crowds, and in 1935 the club moved to its current home in Carrow Road.[109] The original stadium, "the largest construction job in the city since the building of Norwich Castle... was "miraculously" built in just 82 days... it was referred to [by club officials] as 'The eighth wonder of the world'"[110][111] An aerial photograph from August 1935 shows three sides of open terracing and a covered stand, with a Colman's Mustard advertisement painted on its roof, visible only from the air.[112] Another photograph, taken on a match day that same season, shows that a parking area was provided at the ground.[113]

Floodlights were erected at the ground in 1956, but their cost of £9,000 nearly sent the club into bankruptcy. The success in the 1959 FA Cup secured the financial status of the club and allowed a cover to be built over the South Stand. This was itself replaced in 2003 when a new 7,000 seat South stand was built in its place and subsequently renamed the Jarrold Stand.[109]

1963 saw the record attendance for Carrow Road, with a crowd of 43,984 for a 6th round FA Cup match against Leicester City. After the Ibrox disaster in 1971, safety licences were required by clubs and this drastically reduced the ground's capacity to around 20,000. A two-tier terrace was built at the River End, and seats began to replace the terraces. By 1979 the stadium had a capacity of 28,392 with seats for 12,675. A fire in 1984 partially destroyed one of the stands, which eventually led to its complete demolition and replacement by 1987 of a new City Stand, which chairman Robert Chase described as "Coming to a football match within the City Stand is very much like going to the theatre – the only difference being that our stage is covered with grass".[109] After the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 and the subsequent outcome of the Taylor Report in 1990, the stadium was converted to all-seater. It has a capacity of 27,359.[1]

While much of the support that the club enjoys is local, there are a number of expatriate fan clubs, notably in London and stretching from Scandinavia to countries further afield such as the United Arab Emirates, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia and the United States.[114]

The fans' song, On the Ball, City, is the oldest football song in the world still in use today; the song is older than the club itself, having probably been penned for Norwich Teachers or Caley's FC in the 1890s and adapted for Norwich City.[99] Although the first use of the tune and song is disputed, it had been adopted by 1902 and it remains in use today in part if not the whole.[99] The chorus is:[115]

Kick off, throw in, have a little scrimmage,

Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
On the ball City, never mind the danger,
Steady on, now's your chance,
Hurrah! We've scored a goal,

City! City! City!

 
Historical league positions of local clubs; one of the bases for claims to the "Pride of Anglia" title

The club's main local rival is Ipswich Town. When Norwich and Ipswich meet it is known as the East Anglian derby, or, informally, as the 'Old Farm Derby' – a comic reference to the Old Firm derby played between Scottish clubs Celtic and Rangers.[116] Norwich are currently unbeaten against Ipswich since April 2009; 13 years ago (2009-04).[117] Locally, much is made of the informal title "Pride of Anglia". Fans variously claim the title for either winning the East Anglian derby, finishing highest in the league, having the better current league position, having the more successful club history or for reasons without any apparent logical basis.[citation needed]

The club also maintains a healthy celebrity support with celebrity cook Delia Smith and comedian Stephen Fry both having moved from being fans of the club to running it.[118] Actor Hugh Jackman is also a fan of the club, having been taken to Carrow Road as a child by his English mother, though he turned down an opportunity to become an investor in the club in 2010.[119] Other well-known supporters include television presenter Simon Thomas, who is vice-president of the Norwich City Supporters Trust,[120][121] Norfolk-born musician, model and media personality Myleene Klass, fiction author Philip Pullman, and former Labour politician Ed Balls.[122][123] Journalist and broadcaster David Frost also declared his love for The Canaries during his lifetime.[122]

In March 2018, supporters helped the club raise £5 million through a mini-bond investment scheme.[124] The purpose of the mini-bond, called the Canaries Bond[125] was to raise money to fund new academy facilities at Colney Training Ground for the Norwich City F.C. Under-23s and Academy.[126]

Current ownership

 
Michael Wynn-Jones and Delia Smith at a fans' event

Norwich City F.C. is a public limited company that, in 2003, comprised approximately 8,000 individual shareholdings.[127] As of September 2022, Delia Smith and husband Michael Wynn-Jones are the joint majority shareholders.[53]

At the 2006–07 Norwich City FC Annual General Meeting (on 18 January 2007), Smith and Wynn-Jones announced that they would be open to offers to buy their majority stake-holding in the club. They made clear that any prospective buyer would have to invest heavily in the squad, with regards to team improving.[128]

The only way we would relinquish our shares is if somebody is going to put money into the football ... Only if they put money into the squad – not if they buy our shares, we don't want money. It has to be that there is money for the squad, serious money for the squad.

In September 2022, a general meeting of shareholders took place to discuss and voted for Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio to be appointed as a director at the club.[129][130] Attanasio is expected to buy the 15.9% stake in the club currently owned by Michael Foulger.[130]

Chart of Norwich's table positions since joining the Football League

Ashman holds the record for Norwich league appearances, having played 592 first-team matches between 1947 and 1964.[7] Ralph Hunt holds the record for the most goals scored in a season, 31 in the 1955–56 season in the Third Division South, with Johnny Gavin the top scorer over a career – 122 between 1948 and 1955[7]

The club's widest victory margin in the league was their 10–2 win against Coventry City in the Third Division South in 1930.[7] Their heaviest defeat in the league was 10–2 against Swindon Town in 1908 in the Southern League.[7]

Norwich's record home attendance is 43,984 for a sixth-round FA Cup match against Leicester City on 30 March 1963.[7] In the wake of the Ibrox stadium disaster in 1971, government regulations resulted in the capacity being drastically reduced to around 20,000.[109] After the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 and the subsequent Taylor Report in 1990, the stadium was converted to all-seater.[131] As of July 2020, the capacity is 27,359.[1]

The highest transfer fee received for a Norwich player is £33 million from Aston Villa for Emiliano Buendía in June 2021, while the most spent by the club on a player was for the signing of Christos Tzolis for £8.8 million from PAOK FC in August 2021.[7][132]

The club's highest league finish was third in the Premier League in 1992–93.[131] The 2021–22 season was Norwich's 27th in the top flight of English football. The club has won the League Cup twice (most recently in 1985) and reached the FA Cup semi-final three times, most recently in 1992.[131] Norwich have taken part in European competition once, reaching the third round of the UEFA Cup in 1993–94 and are the only English side to beat Bayern Munich in the Olympiastadion.[37]

Development squad

Main article: Norwich City F.C. Under-23s and Academy

This team is made up of under-23 and academy players and is effectively Norwich City's second-string side, but is limited to three outfield players and one goalkeeper over the age of 23 per game.[139]

In March 2018, the public mini-bond investment scheme mentioned above raised £5 million.[140][141] With this investment, the club installed new pitches at its Category 1 Academy, as well as a new irrigation system, cameras for analysis and floodlights, a new main building, with a gym, classrooms, physios room, changing rooms and offices. A stand was also installed next to the main Academy pitch.[142]

Friendship Trophy

Each time they meet, Norwich and Sunderland contest the Friendship Trophy, a game dating back to the camaraderie forged between fans of the two clubs at the time of the 1985 League Cup final that they contested.[151] Norwich are the current holders having beaten Sunderland 0–1 at the Stadium of Light on 27 August 2022 in the 2022–23 EFL Championship.[152]

In popular culture

In the 2001 film Mike Bassett: England Manager,[153] the eponymous hero, played by Ricky Tomlinson, rises to prominence as a result of success as manager of Norwich City, having won the 'Mr Clutch Cup'. The celebratory scenes of the open-top bus ride around the city were actually shot in St Albans, Hertfordshire, rather than Norwich.[154]

towards the city with Norwich Cathedral in the background Norwich City F C was formed after a meeting at the Criterion Cafe in Norwich on 17 June 1902 and played their first competitive match against Harwich amp Parkeston at Newmarket Road on 6 September 1902 2 They joined the Norfolk amp Suffolk League for the 1902 03 season 3 but following a FA commission the club was ousted from the amateur game in 1905 as it was deemed a professional organisation Later that year Norwich were elected to play in the Southern League With increasing crowds they were forced to leave Newmarket Road in 1908 and moved to The Nest a disused chalk pit The club s original nickname was the Citizens but this was superseded by 1907 by the Canaries after the club s chairman who was a keen breeder of canaries dubbed his boys The Canaries and changed their strip to yellow and green During the First World War with football suspended and facing spiralling debts City went into voluntary liquidation on 10 December 1917 4 The club was officially reformed on 15 February 1919 a key figure in the event was Charles Frederick Watling future lord mayor of Norwich and the father of future club chairman Geoffrey Watling 5 When the Football League formed a third Division in May 1920 Norwich joined the Third Division for the following season 6 Their first league fixture against Plymouth Argyle on 28 August 1920 ended in a 1 1 draw The club went on to endure a mediocre decade finishing no higher than eighth but no lower than 18th 4 The following decade proved more successful for the club with a club record victory 10 2 over Coventry City 7 Norwich were promoted as champions to the Second Division in the 1933 34 season under the management of Tom Parker 8 9 Move to Carrow Road and an FA Cup semi final 1934 1959 Edit With crowds continuing to rise and with the Football Association raising concerns over the suitability of The Nest the club considered renovation of the ground but ultimately decided on a move to Carrow Road The inaugural match on 31 August 1935 against West Ham United ended in a 4 3 victory for the home team and set a new record attendance of 29 779 The biggest highlight of the following four seasons was the visit of King George VI to Carrow Road on 29 October 1938 4 However the club was relegated to the Third Division at the end of the season 10 The league was suspended the following season due to the Second World War and did not resume until the 1946 47 season 4 City finished this and the following season in 21st place 11 12 the poor results forcing the club to apply for re election to the league 13 The club narrowly missed out on promotion under the guidance of manager Norman Low in the early 1950s but following the return of Tom Parker as manager Norwich finished bottom of the football league in the 1956 57 season 14 Events off the field were to overshadow the team s performances as the club faced financial difficulties severe enough to render them non viable 15 With debts amounting to more than 20 000 the club was rescued by the formation of a new board chaired by Geoffrey Watling and the creation of an appeal fund chaired by the Lord Mayor of Norwich Arthur South which raised more than 20 000 15 For these and other services to the club both men now deceased were later honoured by having stands named after them at Carrow Road a Archie Macaulay became manager when the club was reformed and he oversaw one of the club s greatest achievements its run to the semi final of the 1958 59 FA Cup 15 Competing as a Third Division side Norwich defeated two First Division opponents along the way notably a 3 0 win against the Manchester United Busby Babes 16 17 City lost the semi final only after a replay against another First Division side Luton Town 13 18 The team of 1958 59 including Terry Bly who scored seven goals in the run and Ken Nethercott who played most of the second half of one match in goal despite a dislocated shoulder is today well represented in the club Hall of Fame 15 17 The 59 Cup Run as it is now known locally 19 remains as one of the truly great periods in Norwich City s history 17 Norwich were the third ever Third Division team to reach the FA Cup semi final 17 League Cup glory and a place in the First Division 1959 1980 Edit Norwich City F C in 1959 with from left standing Roy McCrohan Hunt

Southampton and achieved a fourth place finish in the 1960 61 season 13 In 1962 Ron Ashman guided Norwich to their first trophy defeating Rochdale 4 0 on aggregate in a two legged final to win the League Cup 20 Sixth place in the league was the closest the club came to promotion to the First Division again during the 1960s but after winning the division in the 1971 72 season under manager Ron Saunders Norwich City reached the highest level of English football for the first time 21 They made their first appearance at Wembley Stadium in 1973 22 losing the League Cup final 1 0 to Tottenham Hotspur 23 Relegation to the Second Division in 1973 74 season came after Saunders had departed and been succeeded by John Bond but the board of directors kept faith in Bond and were quickly rewarded

Bond s successor Ken Brown 27 In August 1981 Norwich City striker Justin Fashanu became the first black footballer to command a 1 million transfer fee when he moved to Nottingham Forest 28 The 1984 85

they beat Sunderland 1 0 29 but in the league both Norwich and Sunderland were relegated to the second tier of English football 30 This made Norwich the first English club to win a major trophy and suffer relegation in the same season something which was not matched until Birmingham City also suffered relegation the season they won the League Cup 26 years later 31 Norwich were also denied their first foray into Europe with the ban on English clubs after the Heysel Stadium disaster 32 33 City bounced back to the top flight by winning the Second Division championship in the 1985 86 season 34 This was the start a club record nine consecutive seasons in the top division of English football 24 High league placing in the First Division in 1988 89 would have been enough for UEFA Cup qualification but the ban on English clubs remained 33 They also had good cup runs during this period reaching the FA Cup semi finals in 1989 and again in 1992 35 36 Early success in the Premier League era 1992 1995 Edit During 1992 93 the inaugural season of the Premier League Norwich City quickly emerged as surprise title contenders 37 before faltering in the final weeks to finish third

but defeating Bayern Munich Winning 2 1 Norwich were the first British team to beat Bayern Munich in the Olympiastadion 40 41 Mike Walker quit as Norwich City manager in January 1994 42 to take charge of Everton and was replaced by first team coach John Deehan who led the club to 12th place in the 1993 94 season in the Premier League 43 44 Norwich began the 1994 95 season well despite the pre season departure of top scorer Chris Sutton to Blackburn Rovers for a British record fee of 5 million 45 and by Christmas they were seventh in the league 46 Norwich then won only one of their final 20 league games 47 and slumped to 20th place and relegation ending a nine season run in the top flight 48 The First Division years 1995 2003 Edit Green Mackay Fleming Kenton Drury Mulryne Holt Rivers

the season 49 Martin O Neill who had taken Wycombe Wanderers from the Conference to the Second Division with successive promotions was appointed as Norwich City manager in summer 1995 50 He lasted just six months in the job before resigning after a dispute with chairman Robert Chase over money to strengthen the squad 51 Soon after Chase stepped down after protests from supporters who complained that he kept selling the club s best players and was to blame for their relegation 52 Chase s majority stakeholding was bought by Geoffrey Watling 53 English television cook Delia Smith and husband Michael Wynn Jones took over the majority of Norwich City s shares from Watling in 1996 53 and Mike Walker was re appointed as the club s manager 54 He was unable to repeat the success achieved during his first spell and was dismissed two seasons later with Norwich mid table in Division One 55 Nigel Worthington took over as Norwich City manager in December 2000 following an unsuccessful two years for the club under Bruce Rioch and then Bryan Hamilton He had been on the coaching staff under Hamilton who resigned with the club 20th in the First Division and in real danger of relegation to the third tier of English football for the first time since the 1960s 56 Worthington avoided the threat of relegation and the following season led City to a play off final at the Millennium Stadium which Norwich lost against Birmingham City on penalties 57 Return to the Premier League 2003 2009 Edit City players celebrate winning the First Division Championship 2004 The 2003 04 season saw the club win the First Division title finishing eight points clear of second placed West Bromwich Albion and returned to the top flight for the first time since 1995 58 For much of the 2004 05 season the club struggled and a last day 6 0 defeat away to Fulham condemned them to relegation 59 The club finished in ninth place in the Championship in the 2005 06 season 60 and as results in the 2006 07 season went against City Worthington was dismissed in October 2006 directly after a 4 1 defeat by Burnley 61 In October 2006 Norwich announced that former City player Peter Grant had left West Ham United to become the new manager 62 Grant s side struggled for most of the season and made a poor start to the 2007 08 season with only two wins by mid October following a 1 0 defeat at fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers Grant left the club by mutual consent on in October 2007 63 Later the same month former Newcastle United manager Glenn Roeder was confirmed as Grant s replacement 64 Roeder kept Norwich in the Championship with a 3 0 win over Queens Park Rangers Norwich s penultimate game of the season 65 66 Yo yo years 2009 present Edit In January 2009 Roeder was relieved of his duties as manager 67 and shortly after former Norwich goalkeeper Bryan Gunn was appointed until the end of the season 68 However he was unable to prevent the club from being relegated on in May 2009 after a 4 2 defeat

heaviest ever home defeat and Gunn was dismissed six days later 70 On 18 August 2009 Paul Lambert was announced as the new manager leaving his post at Colchester and nine months later led Norwich to promotion back to the Championship as League One Champions after a single season in League One 71 72 The following season saw Norwich promoted to the Premier League finishing second in the table and

place finish including a ten game unbeaten run in the league 76 77 but they were relegated back to the Championship after the 2013 14 season Hughton was dismissed to be replaced by former Norwich player Neil Adams 78 79 After a mediocre first half of the 2014 15 season Adams resigned in January 2015 and Hamilton Academical manager Alex Neil was appointed as Norwich manager four days later 80 81 The appointment reinvigorated Norwich s season and victory in the 2015 Championship play off final secured an immediate return to the top division of English football 82 This was only temporary relief as at the end of the next season they were relegated again to play the 2016 17 season in the Championship 83 The following season started successfully with the club sitting top of the Championship in mid October However a poor run of form and results followed and in March 2017 Neil was dismissed by the club 84 First team coach Alan Irvine was placed in caretaker charge for the remainder of the season ultimately finishing in eighth 85 86 In May 2017 the club appointed German coach Daniel Farke as head coach becoming the first head coach of the club in its 114 year history

Schalke and Young Boys manager David Wagner as their new head coach 97 Colours and badge Edit City of Norwich Coat of Arms Wikimedia Commons has media related to Norwich City F C kits Norwich City s nickname The Canaries has long influenced the team s colours and badge Originally the club was nicknamed the Citizens Cits for short and played in light blue and white halved shirts 4 although the halves were inconsistent the blue was on the left on some shirts and on the right for others 98 The earliest known recorded link between the club and canaries comes in an interview recorded in the Eastern Daily Press with the newly appointed manager John Bowman in April 1905 The paper quotes him saying Well I knew of the City s existence I have heard of the canaries 99 This as far as we can tell is the first time that the popular pastime of the day ie rearing canaries was linked with Norwich City FC the club still played in blue and white and would continue to do so for another two seasons wrote one history of the club 99 By February 1907 the nickname Canaries had come more into vogue thoughts that an FA Cup tie against West Bromwich Albion nicknamed Throstles after a bird was a bird singing contest were dismissed by the polymath C B Fry as humbug but the national press increasingly referred to the team as Canaries 100 The following season to match the nickname City played for the first time in Canary livery yellow shirts with green collars and cuffs One paper produced the quote The Cits are dead but the Canaries are very much alive 101 While the home colours of yellow and green remain to this day the away colours have varied since introduction For example the away kit for the 2012 13 season was black shirts and shorts 102 A simple canary badge was first adopted in 1922 103 The current club badge consists of a canary resting on a football with a stylised version of the City of Norwich arms in the top left corner 104 For the club s centenary celebrations in 2002 a special badge was designed featuring two canaries looking left and right plus a ribbon noting the centenary 105 In November 2021 the club unveiled a new club badge that officially replaced the previous badge on all club branding from June 2022 and that would appear on club shirts from the 2022 23 season It is a modernised version of its predecessor that removed black keylines around the badge a redesigned version of the city s coat of arms that more closely resembles a lion and Norwich Castle and a redesigned canary on a ball that s more centralised in the badge than its predecessor 106 Stadium EditMain article Carrow Road Norwich City played at Newmarket Road from 1902 to 1908 with a record attendance of 10 366 against Sheffield Wednesday in a second round FA Cup match in 1908 107 Following a dispute over the conditions of renting the Newmarket Road ground in 1908 the club moved to a new home in a converted disused chalk pit in Rosary Road which became known as The Nest 108 By the 1930s the ground was too small for the growing crowds and in 1935 the club moved to its current home in Carrow Road 109 The original stadium the largest construction job in the city since the

parking area was provided at the ground 113 Floodlights were erected at the ground in 1956 but their cost of 9 000 nearly sent the club into bankruptcy The success in the 1959 FA Cup secured the

capacity of 28 392 with seats for 12 675 A fire in 1984 partially destroyed one of the stands which eventually led to its complete demolition and replacement by 1987 of a new City Stand which chairman Robert Chase described as Coming to a football match within the City Stand is very much like going to the theatre the only difference being that our stage is covered with grass 109 After the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 and the subsequent outcome of the Taylor Report in 1990 the stadium was converted to all seater It has a capacity of 27 359 1 Supporters EditSee also On the Ball City
