Jonny Howson: His solo effort at the Etihad was a fitting reward for Chris' season-long road trip following the Canaries
So, what is it that persuades this 65-year-old to spend around £2,000 of his pension in travelling costs over a season? Why do the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when City’s players emerge from the tunnel? Why does a normally level headed grandfather lose every ounce of reserve when Holty/Wessi/Snoddy/Pilks or others hit the target?
Every team needs a player who gets supporters off their seats when he is even within touching distance of the ball; Hucks was that for Norwich. Combining searing pace with great touch and a mix of tricks that often befuddled opponents and team mates alike, Hucks was blue touch paper in yellow and green.
With the summer now here it seems as good a time as any to review my own choice as to which players would make up that line up – and would be interested in seeing the choice of some of the MFW pundits who follow these pages.
