| The East Anglian club were founder members of the Premier League in 1992, opening with a stunning 4-2 win at Arsenal after being two down at half-time.
Indeed they led the FA Carling Premiership for much of the campaign before faltering to finish third behind Manchester United and Aston Villa.
That saw them play in the UEFA Cup for the first time. Although they lost in the third round to Inter Milan, they achieved the distinction of becoming the first English club to beat Bayern Munich in the Olympic Stadium, winning 2-1.
Manager Mike Walker quit in January 1994 to take charge of Everton and was replaced by coach John Deehan who guided the team to a solid 12th place.
However they were relegated in 1995 and remained in the second tier until 2003/04 when they won the Championship by eight points from West Bromwich Albion, a consolation for losing the play-off final a year earlier.
They lasted just the one season, making an instant return to the second tier.
The Canaries were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the 2004/05 campaign with an ignominious 6-0 defeat at Fulham.
That began a steady decline which saw them finish ninth, 16th and 17th before dropping into League 1 in 2009.
Their opening fixture in the third tier was a disastrous 7-1 home defeat by local rivals Colchester United who were then managed by Lambert.
Norwich promptly sacked manager Bryan Gunn and replaced him with the man who had just masterminded their wretched start to the campaign.
It proved a masterstroke as Lambert made an immediate impact, guiding Norwich from the bottom of League 1 to automatic promotion as champions.
Most would have expected the East Anglian club to settle for a season of consolidation but they maintained the momentum to go straight through.
Now, after a painful six-year absence, they are back at the top - and hoping to stay for longer. |
