    True legend of the club. He's exactly the sort of player I love. Never makes a fuss, always does his job and he just seemed like a nice guy to boot! Hope he comes into our back room team, we might as well keep adding the ex-Norwich boys!

    Over the years, and on value for money, I would say he is quite possibly one of the best buys that the club has made - if not the best - during my lifetime of following City

    Absolute legend.

    Will never forget his goal when we were 4-1 down against Middlesbrough. Ashton made it 4-2, and Mckenzie pops up in the 90th minute to make it 4-3. Then of course we all know what happened, with Drury pf all people equalising. Still perhaps the most entertaining game of football I've ever been to.

    All the best Adam!

    True legend of the NCFC. I always lean towards defenders as favourites, and for me he's right up there with; Bowen, Culverhouse, Malky and Woodthorpe!

    I to wish him great success in all his future endeavours and hope he can if he wishes play a part in the clubs future.

    Bah!

    Apparently he scored 4 goals in a Norwich shirt, but that's the only one I remember. What a game that was.

    Always my go to answer for best game I've ever seen. to come from 4-1 down to 4-4 in the last 10 minutes is incredible enough but to have Drury score the equaliser! You couldn't make it up!

    Absolute legend and I'm sure we'll see him back at the club at some point. I was incredibly impressed how well he re-adapted to playing in the premier league when it looked as though he was going to play understudy to Tierney. He looked as assured as ever and it was a sad day when he moved on.

    That's got to be one of the oddest videos I've ever seen...

    It still baffles me how Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal is always considered the best comeback in Premier League history. Sorry, but how is four goals in 45 minutes against ten men in any way better than three goals in ten minutes against eleven? Bizarre.

    By the way, I remember Drury got a goal against Leicester in that 4-3 game in 2010; can't remember the other two goals though...

    That had to be the most exciting come-back ever, capped by Drury's excellent header. Truly a legend! All the best for your future Adam!

    Took Mrs G to that game, she couldn't believe the fervour towards the end. She asked what it was like when we won a game!

    A lot of people walked out early from that game, big mistake.

    Best wishes to Adam.

    I remember the away fans cheering when we got "our consolation 2nd"

    They weren't so happy when we got the next 2.

    Memories of away fans leaving the ground,heading up Carrow Rd
    spoiling for a fight.

    He still lives in Silfield - just outside Wymondham - and I am reliably informed that his family have no intention of moving and that the Club are actively looking into employing him.

    He's certainly got the temperament and knowledge of the game to be a very handy coach.

    Would welcome him back.
