Unreliable History
The club colours derive from the mustard yellow of Colman’s mustard, a local product much sought after and from the green fields surrounding Norwich and not, as some had thought, from the naive image of a locally bred bird applied to many Norfolkians (No … not turkeys!).
Famous Players : – Iwan Thomas, Darren Huckerby, Darren Eadie, Darren Brown, Efan Ekoku, Chris Sutton, Bryan Gunn, Famous Fans : – Delia Smith (TV Cook); Andrea McLean (GMTV Weather Girl); Jake Humphrey (F1 and other sports presenter); Stephen Fry (author; TV Presenter (QI – BBC TV); Twitterer and Bon Viveur); |
