Dedicated to former Norwich City Players from 1980
Norwich
City Youth 2000/01
Norwich City's Youth Academy fields teams at various ages ranging from Under 9s to Under 19s. How many of these will follow the likes of Chris Sutton or Craig Bellamy and make it to the Norwich first team. Some may depart for other league clubs as has happened with Simon Davies of Tottenham and Wales whilst others may only progress as far as Norwich's main Youth team and then drift into non-league football eg Stewart Roach. Whatever their final destination, FLOWN FROM THE NEST will attempt to track their careers as they are all part of the rich tapestry which is the history of Norwich City FC.
