Norwich previously beat Scunhorpe United at Carrow Road 2-1 in the 2nd Round with goals from Simon Lappin and a Wes Hoolahan penalty, followed by a win against Doncaster Rovers at home 1-0 in the 3rd Round with an Alex Tetty goal proving the winner. Tottenham had a 3-0 3rd Round away win at Carlisle United with goals from Jan Vertonghen, Andros Townsend and Gylfi Sigurdsson. This will be the 79th time the two teams have met. Norwich City were founded in 1902 by three former Norwich Church of England Young Men's Society players. The club lost their amateur status in 1905 and joined the Southern League shortly afterwards. The first meeting between Spurs and Norwich came in April 1906 in the Southern League and the East Anglian club won 4-1 at White Hart Lane. The reverse fixture at Newmarket Road was won by Spurs 3-0. Vivian Woodward scored three goals for Spurs against Norwich that season. The clubs met for two further seasons in the Southern League, resulting in two wins for Norwich, a win for Spurs and a drawn match. Spurs joined the Football League for season 1908-09 and the next meeting with Norwich came in the old second round (today's fourth round) of the FA Cup in January 1915 at "The Nest" in Rosary Road, resulting in a 3-2 win for the Canaries. Four friendlies were played between 1916 and 1925 with Spurs winning two games, Norwich one and one drawn game. The first Football League meeting between the two clubs came in the Second Division in December 1935 with Spurs winning 2-1 at the Lane, while Norwich won the reverse fixture 1-0 in April 1936 at their new home in Carrow Road. The clubs met for a further three seasons in Division Two resulting in four wins for Spurs and two for Norwich. During World War Two, Spurs & Norwich played two matches in the Football League South. An FA Cup fifth round match in February 1959 ended in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane and Norwich pulled-off a 'giant killing' act by beating Spurs 1-0 in the replay at Carrow Road. The first meeting in the Top Flight of English Football came in October 1972 when a Martin Chivers goal at Carrow Road wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 win for Norwich. The clubs contested the 1973 Football League Cup Final at Wembley and a Ralph Coates goal was enough to bring the silverware to White Hart Lane. Martin Chivers scored a brace in Tottenham's 3-1 win against Norwich in the reverse First Division fixture at the Lane a week later. The clubs met regularly in Division One from season 1973-74 to 1991-92 with honours being generally even. Both Spurs and Norwich were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93, but the Canaries lost their top flight status after the 1994-95 season and returned for one season in 2004-05. Spurs won 6 of the 10 Premier League matches played with Norwich winning twice and two drawn games. The clubs met in a pre-season friendly at Carrow Road in July 2008 with Darren Bent scoring four goals in a 5-1 Spurs win. The fixture at Carrow Road last season in December resulted in a rather comfortable 2-0 away win for Spurs, thanks to a brace of goals scored by Gareth Bale in the 55th and 67th minutes. Things were rather different for the revese fixture at White Hart Lane in April 2012 with Spurs losing 1-2 to Norwich. Jermain Defoe scored for Spurs with Anthony Pilkington and Elliott Bennett netting for the Canaries in a match which would prove vital for Tottenham's Champions League qualification chances. During the Summer, former Spurs player and assistant manager Chris Hughton was appointed Norwich manager, Cameroon defender Sebastien Bassong moved from Spurs to Norwich for a £3,750,000 transfer fee and Spurs striker Harry Kane joined Norwich on a season's loan. The Premier League match at White Hart Lane in September resulted in a 1-1 draw with Mousa Dembele putting Spurs ahead after 68 minutes only for Robert Snodgrass to score a late equaliser with just five minutes remaining. Overall, Spurs have won 34, Norwich have won 23 and 21 of the 78 matches between the two clubs have been drawn. please log in to view this image Full History of Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City Matches 1906-2012 please log in to view this image They Played for Spurs & Norwich....

The only thing that will close it is abusive posts! We appreciate the time and effort that has gone in to this thread! Great work!
Ben Alnick also played for us for a couple of games in L1. He got injured and maybe sent off in a cup game I think? Great picture of Crouch, he looks like a little scamp.
Re. the list of players etc., Laurie Brown signed for Norwich from Spurs, and played in City's great cup win over Man Utd at Old Trafford. Also, Steve Walford was Martin O'Neill's assistant during his brief managerial tenure at Carrow Road.
This is really good! I spent ages reading it. When did Scott Parker play for us? It was presumably a loan spell...
In October 2000 Charlton Athletic, then in the Premier League, loaned Parker to First Division side Norwich City for two months to give the England under-21 international some first team experience. At Norwich he scored once against Sheffield Wednesday making six first team appearances.
Little know fact, Martin Peters (who Bill Nick thought was finished when he sold him to us), played more games for City than Spurs and scored just two less goals for us. Turned out to be arguably John Bond's best ever signing at a steal of a price I believe around the 40K mark. Won player of the season at Norwich two years running and was granted a testamonial where the 1966 World Cup winning side, (minus a couple), turned out at Carrow Road for him.

Martin Stanford Peters, MBE (born 8 November 1943) is a former football player and manager and a member of the England team which won the 1966 World Cup as well as playing in the 1970 FIFA World Cup.[1] Born in Plaistow, London) he played club football for West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Norwich City and Sheffield United. He briefly managed Sheffield United before retiring from professional football in 1981. Known as "the complete midfielder" as he could pass the ball well with either foot, was good in the air and difficult to mark because of his movement.[2] A free kick specialist, Peters was described by England manager Sir Alf Ramsey, after a game against Scotland in 1968, as being "ten years ahead of his time".[3] His versatility was such that while he was at West Ham he played in every position in the team, including goalkeeper (Last bit copied and pasted from Wikipedia)
