The Greatest Modern Canaries XI - The Best Norwich City XI (of the last 30 years)

We held a vote on Twitter and after 1211 votes the Norwich City fans voted for the following team:

GK: BRYAN GUNN (58%)
He beat Rob Green (14%), Fraser Forster (16%) and John Ruddy (12%) to the gloves.

RB: IAN CULVERHOUSE (43%)
He denied Russell Martin (39%), Steen Nedergaard (11%) and Marc Edworthy (7%) to the role.

LB: ADAM DRURY (58%)
He stopped Mark Bowen (34%) and Martin Olsson (8%).

CB: MALKY MACKAY (49%)


CB: CRAIG FLEMING (29%)
They were ahead of Jon Newsome (15%) and John Polston (8%)

RW: DARREN EADIE (40%)
(Okay so yeah, the left side was looking a little congested and Eadie did play on the right sometimes)
He flew past Ruel Fox (39%), Nathan Redmond (13%) and Robert Snodgrass (7%).


LW: DARREN HUCKERBY (95%)
He left Keith O'Neill (3%), Raymond DeWaard (2%) and Clint Easton (0%) for dead.

CM: JEREMY GOSS (28%)

CM: IAN CROOK (
49%)
They beat Jonny Howson (16%) and Gary Holt (7%) to the 2 positions.


ST: GRANT HOLT (71%)
We've had a LOT of great strikers but big Grant beat Iwan Roberts (8%), Chris Sutton (15%) and Dean Ashton (6%).

ST: CRAIG BELLAMY (41%)
Little bit of a surprise but he beat Robert Fleck (37%), Simeon Jackson (17%) and Paul McVeigh (5%).

MANAGER: PAUL LAMBERT (66%)
He beat Mike Walker (20%), Dave Stringer (11%) and Nigel Worthington (3%).


Not a bad team!
 
Of course there were some issues: I left Wes Hoolahan out because at the time he was a current player but somehow Russell Martin snuck in? There were other notable omissions. Where was Bradley Johnson, Dale Gordon, Spencer Prior, Matt Jackson, Gary Doherty(?), Dion Dublin, Darren Kenton, Efan Ekoku, Ian Butterworth, Andy Townsend...even Neil Adams..but ultimately it's just a bit of fun, maybe next time though!
