There once was a lad born in Stoke Who was good for a laugh and a joke, Not very tall But quick on the ball Which he crossed for much taller folk His wing play became noticed soon And more clubs wanted him in June, Nineteen eighty-six To nurture his tricks And ´Toffees´ it was, made him swoon But alas his time there was rife With injuries which caused him strife, Wanting to get on He saw his chance gone So, needing a new lease of life... ...he moved once again down the road To Oldham, hoping this abode, Would help bring him fame In his favourite game If more of his talent he showed And five happy years he spent there Bringing the club and himself cheer, So much that he thought He wouldn´t be sought By a club like our Norwich here But a quarter million pound bid Was just enough to lift the lid, And bring him our way And once more he´d stay For five years, that Potteries kid A favourite, quite soon he became Who showed his talent for the game, And penalties too He took, and he knew Just how to put them in the frame A gammy knee ended his fun But he´d had more than a good run, And soon he would start The management art Now firmly a true Norfolk son If you haven´t guessed who, by now I´m talking about, then I vow, You´ve not been awake In class or in break Neil Adams of course, take a .

Well very glad you recognised him - can´t think the doubters have much to hang their hats on at the moment.
More than convinced that he's the right choice (and yes, I've changed my mind!!!!). The way in which he's persuaded most of last year's squad to stay and 'earn their spurs', as well as the astute signings he's brought in convinced me. The 'icing on the cake' was the way in which he almost did exactly what I suggested on Sat by taking Lafferty off and bringing Jerome on, tyo completely turn teh game on it's head!!!
