List Of Norwich City F.C. Managers
Norwich City F.C. is an association football club based in Norwich, Norfolk, and was founded in 1902. The club's first manager, John Bowman, was appointed in 1905. Since then, 39 men have held the job on a permanent basis. As of June 2012, the club manager was Chris Hughton who was appointed on 7 June 2012.
Ken Brown holds the record for most games in charge, with a total of 367 between 1980 and 1987. Excluding caretaker managers, the shortest reigns were those of George Swindin and Jimmy Jewell, who both managed 20 games; Jewell's tenure was ended by the outbreak of the Second World War.
The last Norwich manager to win a major trophy was Ken Brown, who won the Football League Cup with Norwich in 1985. Norwich have never won the FA Cup, but have reached the semi-finals three times – most recently in 1989 and 1992, but most notably in 1959, when Archie Macaulay managed the then third-tier club to several giant-killing victories before losing a semi-final reply to Luton Town. Norwich reached the top tier of English football for the first time in 1972, under the leadership of Ron Saunders. The highest league finish Norwich have ever achieved was third in 1992–93, under Mike Walker. The following season, he managed Norwich in their only European campaign to date in the UEFA Cup, when they became the only British club to ever defeat Bayern Munich at the Olympic Stadium.

“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
