Below is a list of footballers who have played for Norwich City in 25-99 competitive first-team matches.
Key The list is ordered first by date of debut, and then alphabetically by surname. Appearances as a substitute are included. Players are listed according to the date they signed for the club – those with their names in bold have been inducted into the Norwich City F.C. Hall of Fame. Statistics are correct as of the match played on 16 December 2013. Where a player left the club permanently after this date, his statistics are updated to his date of leaving. + Positions keyPre-1960s1960s–GKGoalkeeperRBRight-backLBLeft-backHBHalf-backMFMidfielderWHWing-halfMFMidfielderOROutside-rightRWRight-wingOLOutside-leftLWLeft-wingIRInside-rightRMRight midfieldILInside-leftLMLeft midfieldCFCentre-forwardFWForwardUUtility player Position
