Lets all go on March 15th.Could be a good day out.My favourite goal Norwich v Everton our first season in the Prem.If a Brazilian or a Spaniard had done that the media would never have shut up.Holty was surrounded by the majority of their team,rolled it under his foot,turned and hit it into the net.
My personal favourite is the one he scored against Burnley (or Barnsley, can't remember which) in the Champ. A flying half volley from the edge of the 18 yard box. Never has someone looked so ungraceful while scoring such a brilliant goal! To be honest though, there are too many brilliant goals to pick just one. He'll be sorely missed but we thank him for the good times and wish him well for his time at Wigan. Hopefully another hattrick against the scum will cheer us up next season!
Interviewed for a Carlisle paper Holty said he would like Wigan to draw us in a cup or get promotion so that he can come back "hopefully to a good reception" at Carrow Road! Careful what you wish for people!
He'll always be a hero but I have mixed thoughts about him leaving, pre last season I must admit myself and a lot of Norwich fans were far from happy with him, his diva like behaviour soured the relationship he had with fans in a way, it might seem very harsh but like the rest of you I hold him in very high regards and believe you me he could of done none wrong during most of his career at the club, but with the Lambert situation that summer I found his behaviour a bit disappointing we wanted leader back then and I felt he let us down. I know you can't demand loyalty in this game and money speaks out volumes etc. As a player though we couldn't thank him more as he chipped in with the goals every season and fired us to where we are now and lead the club from the front. Must admit it all feels a bit strange like he never got his grand send off and a brief cheers guys for all the years support, personally I would of loved to of seen him play another season. It all happened a little too sudden for my liking but that's life we need to deal with it and move on.
Norwich will get another forward in, great business for you boys so far this summer (on paper at least) rumour has it Blackburn defender Olson is on the verge of joining norwich. Good buy if true
Would love to see him back, would like to see him score (a consolation in a 4-1) but I would hope he wouldn't celebrate.
Haha! That was against Burnley I think. I love that goal. Sums up just how unconventionally brilliant he was for us!
I recall a great one at Coventry - a place where we have traditionally struggled. At least we won't have to worry about that for a bit, particularly as they are re-locating to Northampton!
With Holty now gone, that means our five forwards who were on the books at the start of last season will all start in the Championship next year - Holty at Wigan, Chris Martin at Derby, Steve Morison at ....err.....Millwall, James Vaughan at Huddersfield and Simeon Jackson at (probably) Bournemouth. I wish them all well and hope they all score hat-tricks (home and away) in their games against the Binners.
