Following some solid displays for the Canaries last season, Green was selected in England's final 23 man World Cup squad before his dream was ended when he ruptured his groin playing for England 'B' against Belarus. This injury not only meant he missed the World Cup but will also rule him out for the beginning of the season. Green will no doubt be defiant to return to the City side as soon as possible to revive his career by helping Norwich in their push to the Premiership.

Home: In the countryside just outside Bungay.

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.
