If I were picking a Norwich City All-Time XI, balancing achievement for the club, longevity, quality and impact, I'd line up as follows:
🟡🟢 Norwich City All-Time XI (4-4-2)
GK: Kevin Keelan
Widely regarded as Norwich's greatest goalkeeper. He made a club-record 600+ appearances and was voted into many supporters' greatest-ever XIs.
RB: Ian Culverhouse
A key player in the club's successful late-80s and early-90s sides and a fans' favourite.
CB: Duncan Forbes
One of the club's toughest and most respected defenders. Often considered a Norwich legend.
CB: Steve Bruce
Before his managerial career, Bruce was outstanding for Norwich and helped the club earn promotion to the top flight.
LB: Mark Bowen
Over 300 appearances and an important figure in Norwich's most successful top-flight era.
RM: Darren Huckerby
One of the most exciting players ever to wear the yellow shirt. Instrumental in promotion in 2003-04 and adored by supporters.
CM: Ian Crook
Arguably Norwich's best-ever midfielder. Elegant passer, leader and creative heartbeat of the 1992-93 team that finished third in the Premier League.
CM: Martin Peters
A World Cup winner with England who brought class and experience to Norwich in the late 1970s.
LM: Darren Eadie
A brilliant winger whose pace and flair made him one of Carrow Road's most popular players.
ST: Chris Sutton
One of the finest talents produced by Norwich. Scored 25 league goals in the inaugural Premier League season before a then British-record transfer to Blackburn.
ST: Grant Holt
For many modern supporters, the ultimate Norwich striker. Captained the club from League One to the Premier League and scored goals at every level. (My inclusion ahead of Iwan Roberts is a personal judgement rather than being directly supported by the sources.)
