FIVE FACTS ABOUT NORWICH CITY
1. The nickname of the “Canaries” came about due to the local penchant for rearing the bird. The yellow and green kit was a continuation of this idea.
2. Their early history was modest, but they did manage a run to the FA Cup semi-finals in 1959, beating the mighty Manchester United 3-0 on the way.
3. An even more impressive run followed a shock 3rd place finish in 1993, as they managed to defeat Bayern Munich in Germany, the only English side ever to have won at their Olympiastadion fortress.
4. Celebrity chef Delia Smith owns the club with her husband. Her half-time “Let’s be ‘avin you” rant at the crowd, who she deemed were being too quiet, has gone down in football folklore.
5. Norwich City’s main rivals are the Tractor Boys of Ipswich Town, against whom they contest the East Anglian derby. Norwich represent Norfolk and Ipswich Suffolk.

FIVE FACTS ABOUT NORWICH
1. Queen Boudica of the Iceni launched her revolt against the Romans from the area in around 60AD.
2. The modern city name derives from “Northwic”, meaning “North Farm”.
3. It is the best preserved and most intact medieval city in the UK.
4. The University of East Anglia is based here; alumni include authors Kazuo Ishiguro and Ian McEwan.
5. Steve Coogan’s cult fictional radio host, Alan Partridge, broadcast out of Norwich.
