Described by former boss Barry Fry as the best
left back outside the Premier League, Drury was snapped up
by City in 2001 for a fee of around £500,000. Since
then, the Cambridgeshire-born full back has been one of City's
most consistent performers. Far from a prolific goalscorer,
perhaps Drury's most famous strike came during the amazing
4-4 draw with Middlesbrough during the Canaries solitary campaign
in the top flight in 2004/05. Signed a four-year extension
to his contract early in the summer. Regularly labelled Mr
Consistency. Suffered with injuries last season, when a troublesome
ankle problem required surgery. Still feeling the effects
of a bang in the face from West Brom’s Zoltan Gera –
the gap in his smile evidence of the dental work it required.
