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.

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 Im working at it and I really
enjoy that too. Its also nice to relax at home when
Im not playing or training.
Favourite other sport to play: Cricket.
Favourite other sport to watch: Thats got to
be cricket too.

Favourite read: Gridlock by Ben Elton, and Dog by John
Hegley.
Recommended listening: Blur, and The Datsuns.
Best thing about living in Norfolk: Its nice
and peaceful, especially around where I live. Ive 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. Theyre still going well in the
FA Cup so lets 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 hadnt made the grade?
Id like to say a professional cricketer but I dont
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 thats a long way off yet but Ive
got vague plans to move out to Australia when Ive finished
playing. Well just have to see.
