I must say what a privilege it is to be asked to provide the foreword for this official Norwich City quiz book and it is a pleasure to accept.
I joined Norwich City Football Club in October 1986 in a £100,000 transfer from Aberdeen FC. At the time Aberdeen were the top team in Scotland and regulars in European competitions. I never expected that my time at Norwich would coincide with some great times in the history of the Football Club.
At the end of the 1986/87 season we finished 5th in the First Division, at that time the highest position that the Club had finished in top-level football. Unfortunately we missed out on a UEFA Cup place due to English clubs being banned from European competition after the Heysel disaster. In 1988/89 we finished 4th in the First Division and had a great run in the FA Cup, only being beaten by a single goal in the semi-final at Villa Park. Once again we missed out on a UEFA Cup spot.
However in 1993/94 season we finally qualified for the UEFA Cup place through our highest ever finish in the inaugural 1992/93 FA Premier League when we finished 3rd after giving the likes of Manchester United and Aston Villa a good run for their money right up until the final few games of the season. It was a tremendous period in the Club's history travelling to the likes of Vitesse Arnhem, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, who finally knocked us of the competition 0-2 on aggregate.
I have been lucky to have been part of a great era in the Club history but I have also found it a privilege to have been involved in many events that the Norwich City Football Club Historical Trust arrange annually. The return of the famous 1958/59 FA Cup team who got through to the latter stages of the competition, the 1971/72 promotion-winning side, the 1985 Milk Cup winning and more recently the 10th anniversary of our 1993 UEFA Cup team have all been tremendous occasions for the fans and the players themselves.
The Historical Trust has also celebrated the Club's great history by playing games against Harwich and Parkeston in 2002 - 100 years after our first ever competitive fixture against them. In 2006 we had a fixture against our local rivals, Ipswich Town, as part of the Trust's great work.
Hopefully I have given you some good information in this foreword which will help in your enjoyment of this book. This book is a must for all Norwich City fans (young and old), it will test your knowledge of Norwich City players, past and present and the history of this great club.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the Football Club especially the supporters for my enjoyable 12 years as a player, 7 years as Sponsorship Manager and more recently my new role as the Club's Community Ambassador.
I hope that you have great fun with this book.

the early 1900's and turning professional some 3 years later, to beating
some of the best sides of the time during the famous '59 FA Cup run, through

the Premiership and then taking on, and beating the mighty Bayern Munich in
the Olympic Stadium during the first ever attempt at European football.
Chris Cowlin, has delved into the history of Norwich City Football Club, to
produce a magnificent questionnaire regarding the Club, its players and
managers, which will leave even the most ardent and knowledgeable City
supporter scratching their head. The more junior supporters will be able to
take stock and enhance their knowledge of the history of the Pride of East
Anglia. A must for all City supporters, who wish to learn more about Norwich City

APEX FOOTBALL QUIZ BOOKS
There are four new additions to the series of Apex Football Quiz books (all softback). They are: The Gooners Quiz Book (price £8.99), The Colchester United Quiz Book (price £8.99), The Red Devils Quiz Book (price £9.99) and The Official Norwich City FC Quiz Book (price £8.99). Each contain a mixture of easier, moderate and tough questions to suit the complete range of supporters and readers.
The 102-page Colchester book was compiled by Chris Cowlin (who also compiled the books on Arsenal and Norwich) and contains 700 questions on the Essex club. Question 322 is a typical well-rounded example: 'Which Colchester goalkeeper scored the winning goal in a 2-1 away win against Wycombe Wanderers in September 1991?'
Questions 111 to 120 concern current player Karl Duguid, who is the answer to the question of who provides the foreword to this book.
Bob Wilson provides the foreword to the 142-page book on Arsenal. He did not play in the first match at Highbury in 1913 but I expect, like me, he knew the answer to this question (number 706 of 1,000). Do you?
Another former keeper Bryan Gunn contributes the foreword to the Norwich City book (142 pages and 1,000 questions) which contains a section of photos. A teaser in the section on Jeremy Goss asks 'Which country did he play for?'
The Red Devils Quiz Book was compiled by John DT White. Its 177 pages contain a massive 1,250 questions and a foreword by Sir Alex Ferguson.
Interestingly, the true or false answer to question 1112 - Manchester United inherited their nickname, The Red Devils, from Salford Rugby Club - is true.
Another question I answered wrongly was: 'What colour of shirts did United wear in the 1948 FA Cup final'?
A £1 from every copy of these four books goes to one of four quite appropriate trust funds or charities.
Published by Apex Publishing Limited.
The answers to the four questions mentioned above can be found on the bottom of page 31.

Right, so you think you know your Canaries? Well, this little stocking filler might beg to differ...
Bitter experience has proved that I feel marginally more comfortable sat in a dentist's chair than exposing my general thickness in front of aghast team-mates during pub quizzes.
But I rather like the official Norwich City Quiz Book for the simple reason that even I can answer quite a lot of the questions. I aim to boost my ego by attempting all 1,000 of them over the festive season.
Don't get me wrong. You still need to know your stuff reasonably well, and even those who do are likely to struggle over the slightly bizarre "year of birth" testers which pepper most of the categories.
No, I don't whether Gary Holt was born in 1971, 1972 or 1973, and I'm not sure I'd feel very fulfilled if I did.
But yes, I can name the club Ted MacDougall scored a hat-trick against in a 5-3 win in August 1975; and the player who scored four goals in an 8-0 win against non-league opponents in 1989; and even the scorer of the three England goals that weren't bagged by Martin Peters in the 1966 World Cup Final.
In short, it's all good fun for Canary fans, and it definitely falls into that proverbial Christmas stocking filler category – always assuming you've nothing more shapely to fill your stocking with.
The questions are broken down into 100 different categories, with 10 questions in each. The categories cover players, opponents, competitions, eras, specific seasons, and so on.
Have endless hours of additional fun. I don't know whether compiler Chris Cowlin is a man with yellow-and-green blood running through his veins – the fact that he appears to have worked on similar volumes covering Colchester, Arsenal and West Ham would perhaps suggest otherwise, but it's no less entertaining for that.
