HEADLINE ACT…
It is fair to say Mike Walker’s Norwich were a team which didn’t stand out from the
crowd at the start of the campaign, but they received many an admiring glance after
the opening weekend. The Canaries were 2-0 down at half-time at Highbury after
goals from Steve Bould and Kevin Campbell had Arsenal in control. Norwich though
produced a stunning fightback when goals from Mark Robins (2), David Phillips and
Ruel Fox bagged Walker’s side an eye-catching 4-2 win against a side who had won
the league just two years before.
