Just like their arch-rivals Ipswich Town, Norwich City FC has only really become a contender for major honours in the past 50 years.

Formed in 1902 by a group of friends, the football club did not enter the Football League until 1920 and they remained in the Third Division until 1960. Since then, though, Norwich City has occupied the top two levels of English football.

It is in cup competitions where Norwich City has shone most, however, becoming only the third Division Three team to reach the FA Cup semi-finals. This was in 1959, before landing their first major trophy in 1962, when the football club beat Rochdale over two legs to collect the League Cup.

After Ron Saunders guided the Canaries to the First Division for the first time in 1972, Norwich City FC won the League Cup - then known as the Milk Cup - again in 1985, under manager Ken Brown when Asa Hartford's deflected shot edged out Sunderland 1-0 in the final.

Unfortunately, the ban on English clubs in Europe after the Heysel Stadium disaster meant Norwich City FC missed out on UEFA Cup qualification.

There was compensation in the 1992-3 season, though, as despite starting as relegation favourites from the Premier League, manager Mike Walker steered the Canaries to third place, their best-ever League position.

That earned Norwich City FC a place in the UEFA Cup for first time, where they reached the third round before losing to Inter Milan.

Relegated from the Premier League in 1995, Norwich City FC have been in the second tier ever since, apart from the football club's brief spell in 2004-05 among English football's elite.
