Championship - Huckerby: No to Norwich return

Eurosport - Fri, 07 Nov 16:16:00 2008

Former Norwich striker Darren Huckerby has ruled out a return to the club on a short-term deal after returning home for the MLS close season.

2007-2008 Norwich City Darren Huckerby - 0

The 32-year-old was at Carrow Road for five years before leaving for the San Jose Earthquakes last summer, and Huckerby insists he will not be following in fellow MLS star David Beckham's boots and finding football over the winter.

"I don't want to add fuel to the fire or anything like that because we all know that's not going to happen," Huckerby told the Norwich Evening News.

"Everything comes to an end. I got to grips with it fairly quickly that my time was done here and just because the team aren't doing so well, it's not as easy as that."

Huckerby, who made over 200 appearances for the Canaries, has also ruled out moving to any other team because he does not want to come up against his former club.

"My stance has been pretty clear from day one. I won't play against Norwich," added Huckerby.

  12. abigail.henshall/dave quinn you appear to have some­ kind of retarded mental problems. Huckerby was a great­ player in the Championship, always a threat and feared­ by many. You must support one of the many teams who­ feared him or he scored against. Huckerby is a gent and­ has been true to his word - respect

  13. Huckerby is a f$£*ing w***** just like the ex ipswich­ fan mrs d smith she was walking and working portman­ road in the 70s thats how she made her cash. ­ dave quinn ipswich till i die.

  14. Surprised. Another loan won't go amiss!

    From Ian, on Sat 8 Nov 9:16PM
  15. The reason Huckerby wouldn't play against Norwich­ is that the yellow fans would have to admit that he­ spends most of a match either falling down crying for a­ foul or trying to kick the opposition of the pitch.­ Footballer, more like a 3 year old who had lost his­ dummy.

  16. Hasn't played well in USA- we have much greater­ fire power up fron now anyway with Lita and co. Kennedy­ will start scoring goals from the back for us soon too.
