Norwich City Football Club is a professionalfootball club based inNorwich, Norfolk, England. The club competes in theChampionship, the second tier ofEnglish football. The club was founded in 1902. Since 1935, Norwich have played their home games atCarrow Road and have a long-standing rivalry with East Anglian rivalsIpswich Town, with whom they have contested theEast Anglian derby since 1902.

Norwich have won theLeague Cup twice, in1962 and1985. The club's highest-ever league finish came in the1992–93 season when they finished third in thePremier League. Norwich have featured in theUEFA Cup once, in the1993–94 season, where they were defeated in the third round, but en route became the first English club todefeat German sideBayern Munich at theOlympiastadion in Munich.

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

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, againstHarwich & Parkeston, atNewmarket Road on 6 September 1902.[2] They joined theNorfolk & Suffolk League for the 1902–03 season,[3] but following aFA 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 theSouthern 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 The club's original nickname was the Citizens, but this was superseded by 1907 by the Canaries after the club's chairman (who was a keen breeder of canaries) dubbed his boys "The Canaries" and changed their strip to yellow and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 voluntaryliquidation 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] Whenthe Football League formed a third Division in May 1920, Norwich joined theThird Division for the following season.[6] Their first league fixture, againstPlymouth 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, overCoventry City.[7] Norwich were promoted as champions to theSecond Division in the1933–34 season under the management ofTom 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 toCarrow Road. The inaugural match, on 31 August 1935 againstWest 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 ofKing 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 the1946–47 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 managerNorman Low in the early 1950s, but following the return of Tom Parker as manager, Norwich finished bottom of the football league in the1956–57 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 theLord 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 havingstands 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 the1958–59 FA Cup.[15] Competing as aThird Division side, Norwich defeated two First Division opponents along the way, notably a 3–0 win against theManchester 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 – includingTerry Bly who scored seven goals in the run, andKen Nethercott who played most of the second half of one match in goal despite a dislocated shoulder – is today well represented in theclub 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 the1959–60 season, Norwich were promoted to the Second Division after finishing second toSouthampton, and achieved a fourth-place finish in the1960–61 season.[13] In 1962Ron Ashman guided Norwich to their first trophy, defeatingRochdale 4–0 onaggregate in a two-legged final to win theLeague 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 the1971–72 season under managerRon Saunders, Norwich City reached the highest level of English football for the first time.[21] They made their first appearance atWembley Stadium in 1973,[22] losing theLeague Cup final 1–0 to Tottenham Hotspur.[23]

Relegation to the Second Division in1973–74 season came after Saunders had departed and been succeeded byJohn Bond, but the board of directors kept faith in Bond and were quickly rewarded.[21] A highly successfulfirst 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 toAston Villa.[25]

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

[edit]

Bond departed toManchester City in autumn 1980,[26] and the club were relegated six months later,[24] but bounced back thefollowing season after finishing third under Bond's successorKen Brown.[27] In August 1981, Norwich City strikerJustin Fashanu became the first black footballer to command a £1 milliontransfer fee when he moved toNottingham Forest.[28]

The1984–85 season was of mixed fortunes for the club; under Brown's guidance, they reachedthe final of the Football League Cup at Wembley Stadium, having defeatedIpswich Town in the semi-final.[29] In the final, they beatSunderland 1–0,[29] but in the league, both Norwich and Sunderland were relegated to the second tier of English football, Norwich going down by only one point.[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 theHeysel Stadium disaster.[32][33] City bounced back to the top flight by winning the Second Division championship in the1985–86 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 in1988–89 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]

During1992–93, theinaugural season of thePremier 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 theUEFA Cup for the first (and only) time,[39] losing in the third round toInter Milan, but defeatingBayern Munich.Winning 2–1, Norwich were the first British team to beat Bayern Munich in theOlympiastadion.[40][41]

Mike Walker quit as Norwich City manager in January 1994,[42] to take charge ofEverton and was replaced by first team coachJohn Deehan who led the club to 12th place in the1993–94 season in the Premier League.[43][44] Norwich began the1994–95 season well, despite the pre-season departure of top scorerChris Sutton toBlackburn 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]

Shortly before relegation, Deehan resigned as manager and his assistantGary Megson took over until the end of the season.[49]Martin O'Neill, who had takenWycombe 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 chairmanRobert 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 cookDelia Smith and husbandMichael 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 underBruce Rioch and thenBryan 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 aplay-off final at theMillennium Stadium, which Norwich lost againstBirmingham City onpenalties.[57]

Return to the Premier League (2003–2009)

[edit]

The2003–04 season saw the club win the First Division title, finishing eight points clear of second-placedWest Bromwich Albion and returned to the top flight for the first time since 1995.[58] For much of the2004–05 season, the club struggled and a last day 6–0 defeat away toFulham condemned them to relegation.[59] The club finished in ninth place in theChampionship in the2005–06 season[60] and, as results in the2006–07 season went against City, Worthington was dismissed in October 2006, directly after a 4–1 defeat byBurnley.[61]

In October 2006, Norwich announced that former City playerPeter 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 the2007–08 season, with only two wins by mid October; following a 1–0 defeat at fellow-strugglersQueens Park Rangers, Grant left the club by mutual consent on in October 2007.[63] Later the same month, formerNewcastle United managerGlenn 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 goalkeeperBryan Gunn was appointed until the end of the season.[68] However, he was unable to prevent the club from being relegated in May 2009, after a 4–2 defeat away to already relegatedCharlton Athletic.[69] Following their relegation, their first game of the season resulted in a 7–1 home defeat against East Anglian rivalsColchester 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 second and to the first since Manchester City in 2000.[73][74]

The club finished in 12th place in their first season back in the Premier League.[75] 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 byChris Hughton.[76] Hughton led Norwich to an 11th-place finish, including a ten-game unbeaten run in the league,[77][78] but they were relegated back to the Championship after the 2013–14 season. Hughton was dismissed to be replaced by former Norwich playerNeil Adams.[79][80]

After a mediocre first half of the 2014–15 season, Adams resigned in January 2015 andHamilton Academical managerAlex Neil was appointed as Norwich manager four days later.[81][82] The appointment reinvigorated Norwich's season, and victory in the2015 Championship play-off final secured an immediate return to the top division of English football.[83] This was only temporary relief, as at the end of the next season they were relegated again to play the2016–17 season in the Championship.[84]

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.[85] First-team coachAlan Irvine was placed in caretaker charge for the remainder of the season, ultimately finishing in eighth.[86][87]

Norwich City promotion celebrations in 2019

In May 2017, the club appointed German coachDaniel Farke as head coach, becoming the first head coach of the club in its 114-year history that was not from theBritish Isles.[88] In Farke's first season, Norwich finished in 14th place. The following season was far more successful; helped by top scorerTeemu Pukki, the club was promoted back to the Premier League after a three-year absence as Championship winners.[89] 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.[90] Theyo-yo effect continued unabated: in May 2021, Norwich were crowned winners of theChampionship, securing promotion back to the top flight at the first time of asking,[91] but they failed to win a match in their first nine games back in the Premier League in the 2021–22 season,[92] and Farke was dismissed by the club in November.[93][94] On 14 November 2021, the club appointed formerWalsall, Brentford and Aston Villa managerDean Smith as their new head coach.[95] Norwich completed a record sixth relegation from the Premier League,[96] and, after an indifferent first half of the following season, Smith was dismissed in December 2022.[97]

On 6 January 2023, the club appointed formerHuddersfield Town,Schalke andYoung Boys managerDavid Wagner as their new head coach.[98] After a thirteenth-place finish under Wagner in the2022-23 season, the club improved to a sixth-placed finish in2023-24 and qualified for the Championship playoffs. However, on 17 May 2024, Wagner was sacked by the club after fifteen months in charge following a 4–0 loss on aggregate againstLeeds United in the playoff semi-finals.[99]

On 30 May 2024, the club appointedJohannes Hoff Thorup as their new head coach, who joined fromDanish Superliga clubFC Nordsjælland on a three-year contract.[100]

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.[101] The earliest known recorded link between the club and canaries comes in an interview recorded in theEastern 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."[102] "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.[102]

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 polymathC. B. Fry as "humbug" but the national press increasingly referred to the team as Canaries.[103] 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'."[104] 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 the2012–13 season was black shirts and shorts.[105]

A simple canary badge was first adopted in 1922.[106] The current club badge consists of a canary resting on a football with a stylised version of theCity of Norwicharms in the top left corner.[107] 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.[108]

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 andNorwich Castle, and a redesigned canary on a ball that's more centralised in the badge than its predecessor.[109]

Stadium

[edit]
Main article:Carrow Road

Norwich City played atNewmarket Road from 1902 to 1908, with a record attendance of 10,366 againstSheffield Wednesday in a second round FA Cup match in 1908.[110] 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".[111]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.[112] 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'"[113][114] An aerial photograph from August 1935 shows three sides of open terracing and a covered stand, with aColman's Mustard advertisement painted on its roof, visible only from the air.[115] Another photograph, taken on a match day that same season, shows that a parking area was provided at the ground.[116]

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.[112]

1963 saw the record attendance for Carrow Road, with a crowd of 43,984 for a 6th round FA Cup match againstLeicester City. After theIbrox 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".[112] After theHillsborough disaster in 1989 and the subsequent outcome of theTaylor Report in 1990, the stadium was converted to all-seater. It has a capacity of 27,150.[1]

Song

[edit]
Main article:On the Ball, City

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.[102] 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.[102] The chorus is:[117]

Kick it off, throw it 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!clap-clap City!clap-clap City!clap-clap

People

[edit]

While much of the support that the club enjoys is local, there are a number of expatriate fan clubs, notably inLondon and stretching fromScandinavia to countries further afield such as the United Arab Emirates, North Macedonia, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, and the United States.[118] The London supporters' club is known as the Capital Canaries, and was founded in 1975. They gather atThe Old Red Lion inThe Angel, Islington to watch live games.[119][120]

The club also maintains a healthy celebrity support with celebrity cookDelia Smith and comedianStephen Fry both having moved from being fans of the club to running it.[121] ActorHugh 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.[122] Other well-known supporters include television presenterSimon Thomas, who is vice-president of the Norwich City Supporters Trust,[123][124] Norfolk-born musician, model and media personalityMyleene Klass, fiction authorPhilip Pullman, and formerLabour politicianEd Balls.[125][126] Journalist and broadcasterDavid Frost also declared his love for The Canaries during his lifetime.[125]

In March 2018, supporters helped the club raise £5 million through a mini-bond investment scheme.[127] The purpose of the mini-bond, called the Canaries Bond[128] was to raise money to fund new academy facilities at Colney Training Ground for theNorwich City F.C. Under-23s and Academy.[129]

Local rivalry

The club's main local rival isIpswich Town. When Norwich and Ipswich meet it is known as theEast Anglian derby, or, informally, as the "Old Farm Derby" – a comic reference to theOld Firm derby played between Scottish clubsCeltic andRangers.[130] As of May 2024[update] Norwich are unbeaten against Ipswich since April 2009; 15 years ago (2009-04).[131]

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 or having the more successful club history.

Current ownership

[edit]

Former Majority Shareholders and current Honorary Life PresidentsMichael Wynn-Jones &Delia Smith at a fans' event

Norwich City F.C. is a public limited company that, in 2003, comprised approximately 8,000 individual shareholdings.[132] As of October 2024[update], the group Norfolk Holdings, led by American businessman andMilwaukee Brewers ownerMark Attanasio are the majority shareholders, having taken over from the former majority shareholders, Englishcook and television presenterDelia Smith and her husband, Welsh writerMichael Wynn-Jones, who had held the title since 1998.[53][133]

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.[134]

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 forMilwaukee Brewers ownerMark Attanasio to be appointed as a director at the club.[135][136] Attanasio was expected to buy the 15.9% stake in the club as was owned byMichael Foulger.[136] It was later announced by the club he had purchased shares from a variety of holders, which included Foulger's shares, as part of his investment group, “Norfolk Holdings”.[137] In April 2024, Attanasio's stake in the club was increased to 40.4% following EFL ratification, making him joint majority shareholder alongside Smith and Wynn-Jones.[138]

On 12 August 2024, the club announced that a deal had been reached for Attanasio to increase his stake to 85% and take majority control of the club, subject to takeover panel and shareholder approval. As part of the deal, Smith and Wynn-Jones would also stand down from their respective roles as club directors and become honorary life presidents as well as reduce their stake in the club to 10%.[139] The deal was approved by the clubs other shareholders at a general meeting on 23 October 2024 with Smith & Wynn-Jones stepping down from the board of directors with immediate effect, bringing their twenty-eight years of involvement with the club to an end.[133]

Development squad

[edit]
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.[143]

In March 2018, the public mini-bond investment scheme mentioned above raised £5 million.[144][128] 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.[145]

Notable players

[edit]
Past (and present) players who are the subjects of Wikipedia articles can be foundhere

During the club's centenary season, a "Hall of Fame" was created, honouring 100 former players chosen by fan vote. Further players have since been inducted into the Norwich City Hall of Fame.[146][147]

In the film, he and everyone and everything else on histube train are turned yellow. That night he is visited by a yellow alien called Nick, short for electronic, who teaches him all about electricity. The link to the football club is used to explain why the boy already has so many yellow things in his bedroom.[156]
