Let in more goals than any other Premiership keeper, but that was down to the fact that he was kept busier than anyone else. He wasn't directly responsible for too many of them and produced countless of top quality saves to keep the tally down. He generally looked the part and performed well enough to keep his place in the England squad.

Verdict: If Green decides to stay put it will clearly be a huge boost for the Canaries. But if he did move on City would still be well covered in the goalkeeping department, with Joe Lewis getting to the age where he could soon be challenging Darren Ward and Paul Gallacher. And they'd also have a tidy sum to invest in new talent.

How do you relax away from football? Depending on the time of year either by playing golf or cricket. I play for Swardeston during the summer and really enjoy it. Golf is bit of a challenge but I’m working at it and I really enjoy that too. It’s also nice to relax at home when I’m not playing or training.

Favourite other sport to play: Cricket.
Favourite other sport to watch: That’s got to be cricket too.
Favourite holiday destination: Amalfi in Italy.
Favourite television programme: The Simpsons.
Favourite restaurant/eating place: Femi’s in Norwich.
Favourite read: Gridlock by Ben Elton, and Dog by John Hegley.
Recommended listening: Blur, and The Datsuns.

Best thing about living in Norfolk: It’s nice and peaceful, especially around where I live. I’ve been up here since I was 16 and really love the county.
Worst thing about living in Norfolk: Nothing I can think of, although it does take a long time to get to some of our away games. Those coach journeys home can drag at times.

Whose result do you look out for first? Woking in the Nationwide Conference. They’re still going well in the FA Cup so let’s hope we draw them in the third round!
Who was the first team you ever played for? Woking Boys.

What would you have done if you hadn’t made the grade? I’d like to say a professional cricketer but I don’t think I would have been good enough. It would probably have been something to do with sport.
What will you do when your playing career is over? I hope that’s a long way off yet – but I’ve got vague plans to move out to Australia when I’ve finished playing. We’ll just have to see.
