Darren Huckerby was one of the few bright spots from last season with the 31-year-old once again being voted the club's player of the season. Huckerby endured a tetchy relationship with manager Peter Grant when the Scot was appointed but the pair appear to have reached an understanding with the winger producing some of his best football in a City shirt. Grant deployed Huckerby as a central striker towards the end of the campaign and it will be interesting to see where he fits into the Canaries jigsaw next season. Outspoken, sometimes controversial – but the undoubted star of the squad. His goals in the second half of the season spared City from a closer brush with relegation. His pace still causes defenders major headaches – while Grant wrestles with the question of where to play him. Doesn’t do defending.
