Fans' favourite McKenzie had a season plagued with injuries and personal problems last time round. He made only 11 starts in the league, scoring four goals. His effort and commitment to the cause can never be questioned as he always gives 100 per cent for Norwich City. There is no doubting his ability when he is fit and raring to go and Canary fans will be hoping to see more action from him this season.


OFF DUTY (2004):

Current car: BMW X5.
First car: Fiat Punto.

Favourite other sport to play: These days it's golf. I've just taken up the game and really enjoy it. In the past it would be boxing. I don't really think I should get in the ring again now because I might end up enjoying it too much!
Favourite other sport to watch: Boxing. I was at ringside a lot when I was younger (dad Clinton and uncle Duke were both champions) and I enjoy watching the big fight nights on the telly.
Favourite holiday destination: The Maldives.
Favourite television programme: '24'. I'm following the new series on Sky.
Favourite restaurant/eating place: Nandos in Norwich.
Favourite read: I enjoy biographies, especially sporting ones. Muhammad Ali, Ian Wright and Malcolm X are three of the ones I've read recently.
Recommended listening: I'm a soulful person and my musical tastes reflect that. Music Soulchild, an American r&b artiste, is one of my favourites.

Best thing about living in Norfolk: I haven't been here long but from what I've seen so far it's a nice place to live.

Who's result do you look out for first: To be honest I'm not really interested in anyone except Norwich.
What was the first team you played for: Alpha FC in South London. My first professional club was Crystal Palace.

What would you have done if you hadn't made the grade? I would probably have followed the family tradition and become a boxer. I had a few bouts as a schoolboy and enjoyed it but then football took over. But as far is boxing is concerned I still know the score!
What will you do when your playing days are over: Like a lot of players I'd like to get involved in property. But at the moment I'm only concentrating on my football.
