Bump...Past Results/Shared Players
QPR welcome Norwich City FC
QPR visit Norwich City F.C.
Next Saturday we find ourselves having our first match in the Premiership with one of the other newly promoted clubs Norwich City when we travel to Carrow Road.
Norwich like ourselves have started off pretty well and we can be sure that Paul Lambert will have his team well organised for the match , they may not have the flair players but are a team that play well as a unit.
As you look down the long list of results below it appears we have been following each other through the divisions in recent years and hence there have been a lot of matches played between the two Clubs.
Our meeting at Carrow Road last season on January the 1st this year resulted in a 1-0 defeat although we were down to 10 men with the straight red sending off of Matt Connolly on 51 mins for a foul on Russell Holt .
We have contested some 110 League games over the years spanning 1921 � 2011.
There has been two FA Cup meetings in the past in 1910 and 1946 both of which went to replays and both of which QPR won on the second attempt.

Last Meeting
1st January 2011 - Championship
Norwich 1 QPR 0
Norwich moved up to third in the table after Russell Martin's first-half goal condemned 10-man QPR to their third loss of the season.
Martin fired City ahead in the 10th minute after Rangers defender Kaspars Gorkss blocked Chris Martin's shot.
Just after half time the Championship leaders had Matthew Connolly sent off for a professional foul on Grant Holt.
The Canaries wasted several chances to kill off the game but QPR were unable to muster enough to claim an equaliser.
Neil Warnock's side remain top of the table, but their lead is now just four points over second-placed Swansea.
Norwich, though, continue to impress and their third successive victory leaves them a point behind the Swans.
It could have been very different had QPR's Jamie Mackie not headed the first chance of the match wide, shortly before Norwich scored.
Chris Martin finished off a mazy run with a shot that Gorkss was able to block but the loose ball was fired home by Russell Martin.
New signing Aaron Wilbraham was denied a debut goal by a linesman's flag as the home side took control.
The visitors chances of a result were further dented five minutes into the second half when Connolly saw red for hauling down Holt.
The home side were nearly made to pay for wasted opportunities 16 minutes from the end but Patrick Agyemang was denied by the post.

Classic Encounters
Game 1
Norwich 3 QPR 4 - 12 th March 1994 � Premiership
(taken from Vital QPR)
Rangers last victory on Norwich soil was back in 1994, the fixture which Vital QPR has chosen for this latest feature covering one day in history.
QPR came into the fixture off the back of a double against Manchester clubs in W12. United came and took three points in a narrow 3-2 win, whilst City claimed a 1-1 draw at Loftus Road. Rangers found more comfort on the road than at home, beating Coventry and drawing with Arsenal and Leeds United, forgetting the FA Cup exit to Stockport County.
Norwich, under manager John Deehan following the departure of Mike Walker, were without a win in 1994, and it was perceived that this was Deehan`s chance to finally get off the blocks with a win following taking over in January.
It was certainly going according to plan for the Canaries when Mark Bowen gave them a hard fought half time lead, despite Rangers continual pressure on the Norwich backline. However fortuitous it was Norwich who had the lead at the break.
It wasn`t long before they were blown away by Rangers, not even a brace from striker Efan Ekoku could prevent the Canaries from losing yet another fixture. Rangers came flying out the blocks with goals from Simon Barker and Gary Penrice, who performances alone commended their goals.
The Rangers fans who had populated the away weren`t to go home disappointed in a barnstorming second period as Darren Peacock grabbed a well deserved goal for his endeavours as he surprisingly enough had a number of chances.
Chants of "Bruno For England!" reverberated around the away and Devon White notched at Carrow Road, with fans paying homage to the understudy of Les Ferdinand who had really become a cult hero in W12 and captured the imagination of the crowd.
Rangers day was complete with a fantastic second half, that matched the four they put past Tottenham Hotspur in the second half in 1992, the last time they achieved that particular feat.
QPR finished ninth that season, whilst Norwich finished in the bottom half, completing the season in twelfth, only winning two further games that season, ultimately costing Deehan his job as manager.
Attendance: 16,499
QPR: Stejskal, Bardsley, Wilson, Wilkins, Peacock, Yates, Meaker (Holloway), Barker, White, Penrice, Sinclair.
Game 2
QPR 3 Norwich 3 - 14th October 2006 Championship
Martin Rowlands bagged a last gasp equaliser, as honours finished even in a six-goal thriller at Loftus Road.
Rowlands bagged his second goal of the contest in the second minute of added time, as the R's fought back twice to claim a point against the managerless Canaries.
Robert Earnshaw looked like breaking QPR hearts when he put Norwich 3-2 in front from the penalty spot with just eight minutes remaining, after Dion Dublin had earlier put the visitors on terms with his first Norwich goal.
In truth, a draw was a fair reflection, at the end of a truly absorbing contest in W12.
Despite trailing early on, Rangers led 2-1 at the break courtesy of a�stunning strike from debutant Jimmy Smith and a trademark Rowlands free-kick.
Darren Huckerby bagged the opening goal of the game on three minutes, finishing with aplomb from 15-yards.
Undeterred, the R's were on terms midway through the half when Smith capped a promising home debut with a textbook strike from the edge of the box.
Both sides went in search of a second goal in a lively end to the half, yet despite the best efforts of Robert Earnshaw at one end, and Dexter Blackstock at the other, it seemed destined to remain 1-1.
But Rowlands had other ideas, smashing home a fearsome free-kick to put the R's in front on the stroke of half-time.
John Gregory handed Chelsea loanee Smith his first start in a QPR jersey, while Steve Lomas replaced Matthew Rose at right-back.
In his first and in all likelihood last match in Caretaker charge of the Canaries, Martin Hunter was able to recall Club Captain Adam Drury from injury, but there was no place in the starting XI for veteran front-man Dion Dublin.
Norwich and Hunter got off to the dream start inside three minutes, when Huckerby latched onto an innocuous through ball before sliding the ball under the exposed Paul Jones.
Undeterred, Rangers' first shot on target arrived 60 seconds later, but debutant Smith failed to generate enough power to trouble Canaries custodian Paul Gallagher.
Buoyed by the goal, Norwich continued to pose the greater attacking threat, with Huckerby's in-swinging corner forcing Jones to punch clear from under his own bar.
Jones was in the right place at the right time again on 11 minutes, flinging himself full stretch to his right to tip round Earnshaw's goal-bound header.
It was a truly stunning stop from the veteran keeper, as the Welshman instantly repaid the faith shown in him by his manager despite his International woes last weekend.
The R's grew in stature as the half wore on and when Damion Stewart found Cook with a searching cross-field ball on 22 minutes, the R's winger lashed a speculative 25-yard drive wide of Gallagher's right hand post.
The goal the R's improved performance deserved duly arrived on 24 minutes and it was a Chelsea player who got it!
Cook's sublime lay-off fell perfectly into the path of Smith, who delivered a composed finish from the edge of the 18-yard box.
It was a classic strike from the teenage midfielder, with comparisons to his Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard being made almost instantaneously in the press box.
As an entertaining half drew to a conclusion, livewire Earnshaw curled a free-kick inches over the bar, while Blackstock thrashed a ferocious left foot volley inches over the bar with Gallagher seemingly beaten all ends up.
But there was still time for another twist in the tale after Blackstock was fouled on the edge of the box by Jason Shackell.
Cook rolled the ball into the path of Rowlands, who smashed an unstoppable right footed strike past the despairing dive of Gallagher.
Rangers picked up from where they left off at the start of the second half and after Zesh Rehman fed Rowlands in acres of space on the right wing, the hardworking midfielder called Gallagher into action with a superb save with his feet.
The action was relentless and after Rangers had vocal appeals for a spot-kick waved away when Smith's blockbuster volley appeared to strike Shackell's hand, Norwich broke at pace and Jones denied his Welsh compatriot Earnshaw with another stunning finger-tip save.
Smith had yet another penalty appeal turned down on 52 minutes, when his close tricky completely fooled a Norwich defender, only for referee Mr Marriner to wave away his claims.
Lee Croft squandered arguably the easiest chance he'll ever get as a professional footballer 60 seconds later, somehow scuffing the ball wide from two yards out, with the goal at his mercy.
If Paul Robinson felt bad after his error against Croatia in midweek, Croft was surely waiting for the ground to swallow him up.
Smith's action-packed debut took another twist when he rather harshly received a yellow card for handball, but thankfully for the R's, Earnshaw's resultant free-kick flew well wide of Jones' left hand post.
A fourth goal was in the offing and when Ray Jones out-jumped Gallagher, only a sensational goal-line clearance from Jurgen Colin denied the teenage front-man his third goal in as many matches.
Rangers were playing some superb passing football at times, to the delight of a season's best crowd of 14,793.
Hunter threw caution to the wind midway through the half, sending on Dublin in place of Carl Robinson and reverting to a 4-4-2 formation.
But it was Rangers who continued to throw men forward, with Jones just failing to connect with Blackstock's nod down after more wizardry from Cook.
Yet despite seeing the R's create the better goalscoring opportunities, it was Norwich who bagged the fourth goal of an amazing contest on 71 minutes.
Former Manchester United and Coventry striker Dublin arrived bang on cue to finish a superb passing move from the visitors, to the delight of the 3,000 travelling Canary fans.
Disaster struck for the hosts eight minutes from time though when Rehman was adjudged to have sent Huckerby tumbling to ground inside the box.
Earnshaw stepped up to convert, as all thoughts harped back to the Canaries 3-2 victory at Carrow Road last year.
But Rangers are a resilient outfit under the new gaffer and when the ball broke to Rowlands at an acute angle 10-yards from goal, the midfielder beat Gallagher at his near post to send the home fans into raptures.

Flashback: On This Date, QPR Effectively Missed Out on The First Division Championship
-
April 17, 1976: Norwich 3 QPR 2: The day that QPR effectively lost out on the First Division Championship (although Wolves did their bit to deny QPR the Championship - by falling Liverpool at the very death - and of course in truth, every point is worth the same, whenever it's picked up during the season).
From Rothmans Football Yearbook " QPR lose at Norwich, and as Liverpool beat Stoke 5-3, they go to the top of Division One."
QPR's Prime Team:
Parkes
Clement Webb McLintock Gillard
Francis Masson Hollins
Thomas Bowles Givens - Leach
The Norwich defeat was QPR's first defeat since January 24 1976 when West Ham defeated QPR 1-0. From January 24, 1976 to April 24, 1976 QPR's record was: 13 Wins...1 Draw...and the 2-3 Norwich defeat on April 17, 1976)
From Norwich City FC Years
[NB: These were Norwich statistics in 1975-76: They finished 10th with W 16 D 10 L 16 GF 58-GA 58 42 points (2 points for win) - From Norwich City Years: "Norwich immediately established themselves as a first division outfit during the 1975 � 76 campaign as they enjoyed a fine season, finishing it off in tenth position. They reached the fifth round of the FA Cup, however suffered defeat against Bradford City. Kevin Keelan was in fine form for the club through out the campaign.
The 1976 � 1977 season saw Norwich struggle towards the end and managed to finish off in 16th position and a third round finish in the FA Cup." - Norwich City
John Hollins on that Norwich Loss - from an Interview with QPR Net
"...If I have to say we lost it then I would say we lost it at Norwich, I can remember one of their players, they used to call him Diesel, he used to run through brick walls that fella! He never scored all that many for them and he hit a shot which Parkes had covered but it came off Dave Clement�s back and flipped over him into the net. When they made it 3-1 it was miles offside too. Gerry pulled it back to 3-2 then we hit the bar. That one point would have got us through."
Gerry Francis Said a couple of years ago:
Mirror/Aidan Magee - Monday, April 17, 2006 "FRANCIS WAITS 30 YEARS FOR REVENGE
"GERRY FRANCIS wants QPR to thrash Norwich today - to help him ease 30 years of pain. The former England skipper was a key part of the exciting Rangers side which narrowly missed out on the old First Division title in 1976.
And QPR all but blew their hopes on April 17 that year by losing 3-2 in a Carrow Road thriller - before being pipped by Liverpool shortly after.
Incredibly the two sides meet again today on the same pitch all these years later - but with little more than Championship pride to play for.
Rangers would probably have been the smallest club ever to be crowned league champions, in the end finishing just a point behind the Reds.
Dave Sexton's side was packed with glorious names from the Seventies like Francis, Frank McLintock, Phil Parkes, David Webb and Stan Bowles.
Francis said: "It's amazing that the fixture list has thrown this up exactly 30 years to the day, and at Carrow Road too.
"I remember the day well. It was a great match but it was destined not to go our way.
"It was our only defeat in the last 17 games of that season. We then beat Leeds and Arsenal to finish the season.
"Then Liverpool played at Wolves 10 days later needing a win. They were losing until 15 minutes from time and then they scored three.
"It was unfair because now all the teams would play concurrently on the final day, but Liverpool knew exactly what they had to do.
"They were great times, with great players and some great haircuts - in fact I've still got mine!"
The season run down !

QPR welcome Norwich City FC
QPR visit Norwich City F.C.
Next Saturday we find ourselves having our first match in the Premiership with one of the other newly promoted clubs Norwich City when we travel to Carrow Road.
Norwich like ourselves have started off pretty well and we can be sure that Paul Lambert will have his team well organised for the match , they may not have the flair players but are a team that play well as a unit.
As you look down the long list of results below it appears we have been following each other through the divisions in recent years and hence there have been a lot of matches played between the two Clubs.
Our meeting at Carrow Road last season on January the 1st this year resulted in a 1-0 defeat although we were down to 10 men with the straight red sending off of Matt Connolly on 51 mins for a foul on Russell Holt .
We have contested some 110 League games over the years spanning 1921 � 2011.
There has been two FA Cup meetings in the past in 1910 and 1946 both of which went to replays and both of which QPR won on the second attempt.

Last Meeting
1st January 2011 - Championship
Norwich 1 QPR 0
Norwich moved up to third in the table after Russell Martin's first-half goal condemned 10-man QPR to their third loss of the season.
Martin fired City ahead in the 10th minute after Rangers defender Kaspars Gorkss blocked Chris Martin's shot.
Just after half time the Championship leaders had Matthew Connolly sent off for a professional foul on Grant Holt.
The Canaries wasted several chances to kill off the game but QPR were unable to muster enough to claim an equaliser.
Neil Warnock's side remain top of the table, but their lead is now just four points over second-placed Swansea.
Norwich, though, continue to impress and their third successive victory leaves them a point behind the Swans.
It could have been very different had QPR's Jamie Mackie not headed the first chance of the match wide, shortly before Norwich scored.
Chris Martin finished off a mazy run with a shot that Gorkss was able to block but the loose ball was fired home by Russell Martin.
New signing Aaron Wilbraham was denied a debut goal by a linesman's flag as the home side took control.
The visitors chances of a result were further dented five minutes into the second half when Connolly saw red for hauling down Holt.
The home side were nearly made to pay for wasted opportunities 16 minutes from the end but Patrick Agyemang was denied by the post.

Classic Encounters
Game 1
Norwich 3 QPR 4 - 12 th March 1994 � Premiership
(taken from Vital QPR)
Rangers last victory on Norwich soil was back in 1994, the fixture which Vital QPR has chosen for this latest feature covering one day in history.
QPR came into the fixture off the back of a double against Manchester clubs in W12. United came and took three points in a narrow 3-2 win, whilst City claimed a 1-1 draw at Loftus Road. Rangers found more comfort on the road than at home, beating Coventry and drawing with Arsenal and Leeds United, forgetting the FA Cup exit to Stockport County.
Norwich, under manager John Deehan following the departure of Mike Walker, were without a win in 1994, and it was perceived that this was Deehan`s chance to finally get off the blocks with a win following taking over in January.
It was certainly going according to plan for the Canaries when Mark Bowen gave them a hard fought half time lead, despite Rangers continual pressure on the Norwich backline. However fortuitous it was Norwich who had the lead at the break.
It wasn`t long before they were blown away by Rangers, not even a brace from striker Efan Ekoku could prevent the Canaries from losing yet another fixture. Rangers came flying out the blocks with goals from Simon Barker and Gary Penrice, who performances alone commended their goals.
The Rangers fans who had populated the away weren`t to go home disappointed in a barnstorming second period as Darren Peacock grabbed a well deserved goal for his endeavours as he surprisingly enough had a number of chances.
Chants of "Bruno For England!" reverberated around the away and Devon White notched at Carrow Road, with fans paying homage to the understudy of Les Ferdinand who had really become a cult hero in W12 and captured the imagination of the crowd.
Rangers day was complete with a fantastic second half, that matched the four they put past Tottenham Hotspur in the second half in 1992, the last time they achieved that particular feat.
QPR finished ninth that season, whilst Norwich finished in the bottom half, completing the season in twelfth, only winning two further games that season, ultimately costing Deehan his job as manager.
Attendance: 16,499
QPR: Stejskal, Bardsley, Wilson, Wilkins, Peacock, Yates, Meaker (Holloway), Barker, White, Penrice, Sinclair.
Game 2
QPR 3 Norwich 3 - 14th October 2006 Championship
Martin Rowlands bagged a last gasp equaliser, as honours finished even in a six-goal thriller at Loftus Road.
Rowlands bagged his second goal of the contest in the second minute of added time, as the R's fought back twice to claim a point against the managerless Canaries.
Robert Earnshaw looked like breaking QPR hearts when he put Norwich 3-2 in front from the penalty spot with just eight minutes remaining, after Dion Dublin had earlier put the visitors on terms with his first Norwich goal.
In truth, a draw was a fair reflection, at the end of a truly absorbing contest in W12.
Despite trailing early on, Rangers led 2-1 at the break courtesy of a�stunning strike from debutant Jimmy Smith and a trademark Rowlands free-kick.
Darren Huckerby bagged the opening goal of the game on three minutes, finishing with aplomb from 15-yards.
Undeterred, the R's were on terms midway through the half when Smith capped a promising home debut with a textbook strike from the edge of the box.
Both sides went in search of a second goal in a lively end to the half, yet despite the best efforts of Robert Earnshaw at one end, and Dexter Blackstock at the other, it seemed destined to remain 1-1.
But Rowlands had other ideas, smashing home a fearsome free-kick to put the R's in front on the stroke of half-time.
John Gregory handed Chelsea loanee Smith his first start in a QPR jersey, while Steve Lomas replaced Matthew Rose at right-back.
In his first and in all likelihood last match in Caretaker charge of the Canaries, Martin Hunter was able to recall Club Captain Adam Drury from injury, but there was no place in the starting XI for veteran front-man Dion Dublin.
Norwich and Hunter got off to the dream start inside three minutes, when Huckerby latched onto an innocuous through ball before sliding the ball under the exposed Paul Jones.
Undeterred, Rangers' first shot on target arrived 60 seconds later, but debutant Smith failed to generate enough power to trouble Canaries custodian Paul Gallagher.
Buoyed by the goal, Norwich continued to pose the greater attacking threat, with Huckerby's in-swinging corner forcing Jones to punch clear from under his own bar.
Jones was in the right place at the right time again on 11 minutes, flinging himself full stretch to his right to tip round Earnshaw's goal-bound header.
It was a truly stunning stop from the veteran keeper, as the Welshman instantly repaid the faith shown in him by his manager despite his International woes last weekend.
The R's grew in stature as the half wore on and when Damion Stewart found Cook with a searching cross-field ball on 22 minutes, the R's winger lashed a speculative 25-yard drive wide of Gallagher's right hand post.
The goal the R's improved performance deserved duly arrived on 24 minutes and it was a Chelsea player who got it!
Cook's sublime lay-off fell perfectly into the path of Smith, who delivered a composed finish from the edge of the 18-yard box.
It was a classic strike from the teenage midfielder, with comparisons to his Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard being made almost instantaneously in the press box.
As an entertaining half drew to a conclusion, livewire Earnshaw curled a free-kick inches over the bar, while Blackstock thrashed a ferocious left foot volley inches over the bar with Gallagher seemingly beaten all ends up.
But there was still time for another twist in the tale after Blackstock was fouled on the edge of the box by Jason Shackell.
Cook rolled the ball into the path of Rowlands, who smashed an unstoppable right footed strike past the despairing dive of Gallagher.
Rangers picked up from where they left off at the start of the second half and after Zesh Rehman fed Rowlands in acres of space on the right wing, the hardworking midfielder called Gallagher into action with a superb save with his feet.
The action was relentless and after Rangers had vocal appeals for a spot-kick waved away when Smith's blockbuster volley appeared to strike Shackell's hand, Norwich broke at pace and Jones denied his Welsh compatriot Earnshaw with another stunning finger-tip save.
Smith had yet another penalty appeal turned down on 52 minutes, when his close tricky completely fooled a Norwich defender, only for referee Mr Marriner to wave away his claims.
Lee Croft squandered arguably the easiest chance he'll ever get as a professional footballer 60 seconds later, somehow scuffing the ball wide from two yards out, with the goal at his mercy.
If Paul Robinson felt bad after his error against Croatia in midweek, Croft was surely waiting for the ground to swallow him up.
Smith's action-packed debut took another twist when he rather harshly received a yellow card for handball, but thankfully for the R's, Earnshaw's resultant free-kick flew well wide of Jones' left hand post.
A fourth goal was in the offing and when Ray Jones out-jumped Gallagher, only a sensational goal-line clearance from Jurgen Colin denied the teenage front-man his third goal in as many matches.
Rangers were playing some superb passing football at times, to the delight of a season's best crowd of 14,793.
Hunter threw caution to the wind midway through the half, sending on Dublin in place of Carl Robinson and reverting to a 4-4-2 formation.
But it was Rangers who continued to throw men forward, with Jones just failing to connect with Blackstock's nod down after more wizardry from Cook.
Yet despite seeing the R's create the better goalscoring opportunities, it was Norwich who bagged the fourth goal of an amazing contest on 71 minutes.
Former Manchester United and Coventry striker Dublin arrived bang on cue to finish a superb passing move from the visitors, to the delight of the 3,000 travelling Canary fans.
Disaster struck for the hosts eight minutes from time though when Rehman was adjudged to have sent Huckerby tumbling to ground inside the box.
Earnshaw stepped up to convert, as all thoughts harped back to the Canaries 3-2 victory at Carrow Road last year.
But Rangers are a resilient outfit under the new gaffer and when the ball broke to Rowlands at an acute angle 10-yards from goal, the midfielder beat Gallagher at his near post to send the home fans into raptures.

Flashback: On This Date, QPR Effectively Missed Out on The First Division Championship
-
April 17, 1976: Norwich 3 QPR 2: The day that QPR effectively lost out on the First Division Championship (although Wolves did their bit to deny QPR the Championship - by falling Liverpool at the very death - and of course in truth, every point is worth the same, whenever it's picked up during the season).
From Rothmans Football Yearbook " QPR lose at Norwich, and as Liverpool beat Stoke 5-3, they go to the top of Division One."
QPR's Prime Team:
Parkes
Clement Webb McLintock Gillard
Francis Masson Hollins
Thomas Bowles Givens - Leach
The Norwich defeat was QPR's first defeat since January 24 1976 when West Ham defeated QPR 1-0. From January 24, 1976 to April 24, 1976 QPR's record was: 13 Wins...1 Draw...and the 2-3 Norwich defeat on April 17, 1976)
From Norwich City FC Years
[NB: These were Norwich statistics in 1975-76: They finished 10th with W 16 D 10 L 16 GF 58-GA 58 42 points (2 points for win) - From Norwich City Years: "Norwich immediately established themselves as a first division outfit during the 1975 � 76 campaign as they enjoyed a fine season, finishing it off in tenth position. They reached the fifth round of the FA Cup, however suffered defeat against Bradford City. Kevin Keelan was in fine form for the club through out the campaign.
The 1976 � 1977 season saw Norwich struggle towards the end and managed to finish off in 16th position and a third round finish in the FA Cup." - Norwich City
John Hollins on that Norwich Loss - from an Interview with QPR Net
"...If I have to say we lost it then I would say we lost it at Norwich, I can remember one of their players, they used to call him Diesel, he used to run through brick walls that fella! He never scored all that many for them and he hit a shot which Parkes had covered but it came off Dave Clement�s back and flipped over him into the net. When they made it 3-1 it was miles offside too. Gerry pulled it back to 3-2 then we hit the bar. That one point would have got us through."
Gerry Francis Said a couple of years ago:
Mirror/Aidan Magee - Monday, April 17, 2006 "FRANCIS WAITS 30 YEARS FOR REVENGE
"GERRY FRANCIS wants QPR to thrash Norwich today - to help him ease 30 years of pain. The former England skipper was a key part of the exciting Rangers side which narrowly missed out on the old First Division title in 1976.
And QPR all but blew their hopes on April 17 that year by losing 3-2 in a Carrow Road thriller - before being pipped by Liverpool shortly after.
Incredibly the two sides meet again today on the same pitch all these years later - but with little more than Championship pride to play for.
Rangers would probably have been the smallest club ever to be crowned league champions, in the end finishing just a point behind the Reds.
Dave Sexton's side was packed with glorious names from the Seventies like Francis, Frank McLintock, Phil Parkes, David Webb and Stan Bowles.
Francis said: "It's amazing that the fixture list has thrown this up exactly 30 years to the day, and at Carrow Road too.
"I remember the day well. It was a great match but it was destined not to go our way.
"It was our only defeat in the last 17 games of that season. We then beat Leeds and Arsenal to finish the season.
"Then Liverpool played at Wolves 10 days later needing a win. They were losing until 15 minutes from time and then they scored three.
"It was unfair because now all the teams would play concurrently on the final day, but Liverpool knew exactly what they had to do.
"They were great times, with great players and some great haircuts - in fact I've still got mine!"
The season run down !
