signed but never played

Rufer attracted the attention of Norwich City manager Ken Brown, who invited the player and his older brother Shane Rufer to Norfolk for a trial. He impressed and signed a professional contract on 23 October 1981,[3] becoming the first Kiwi to do so. However, he was denied a work permit to play in England, so he joined Fussballclub Z?rich in May of the following year.
