"It wasn't about money," said Huckerby, who has an 18-month contract with the Quakes. "Don't get me wrong, I'm well-paid and I've been that way throughout my career. But there was literally 20 times when I could have left Norwich for more money. They could have offered me 10 times what I was making and it wouldn't have mattered because Norwich meant that much to me."
So much that Huckerby constantly needles the English-born Yallop, who played for Ipswich Town, the bitter rival of Norwich City. (Think Yankees-Red Sox hatred.)
"He played for the enemy, but it's not his fault," Huckerby said. "Frank just wasn't quite good enough for the Norwich team. So he had to settle for the second best."
