Born in Norwich and moved to Fleggburgh aged 6.
My Nan took me to my first game when I was 7. Loved it. Then my Spurs-supporting Uncle took me to watch NCFC vs Spurs in the standing away end. He made me cheer for Spurs and wouldn't let me celebrate when Norwich scored. Twice. He wouldn't speak to me all the way home. I've hated Spurs most of my life since!
I remember meeting Robert Rosario and Robert Fleck at a Norwich Soccer School during the summer holidays and thinking they were amazing.
Lived for a while in Thorpe Park and also Rosary Road. Was great to be able to walk to a game.
Now I'm in Hong Kong and have to rely on dodgy streams, dodgy pubs with Canary expats, or Dr Dublin's audio to follow the Nodge!
