FONCY - Friends of Norwich City Youth - launched their 15th coffee mug this week featuring the latest seven academy products to don the yellow and green first team shirt of Norwich City.

The seven featured players are goalkeeper Declan Rudd, defenders George Francomb and David Stephens, midfielders Korey Smith, Tom Adeyemi, Josh Dawkin and Luke Daley.

Midfielder Korey Smith was delighted to adorn the latest FONCY mug: "It was unbelievable really. I didn't know anything about it. I saw him with the mugs and he took some pictures and gave us one each - I've taken it home and it's excellent seeing me and all my friends on a mug, it's something to remind of these days. When I am older I can look back and have that reminder."

The mug is priced at £7.50, purchaseable from either the Club Shop or direct from FONCY chairman John Landamore on 07768 317834 - with all proceeds going to FONCY - which is then used within the Academy at the Club.

Once again the design is down to Nick Guyton at Norfolk China who has perfected this particular design for FONCY over the past few years.

Daley was the first to make his senior debut last season in February 2009 at home to Burnley. Smith's debut also came last season in April 2009 at Carrow Road against Sheffield Wednesday.

Adeyemi's debut came on the opening day of the season against Colchester United, also at Carrow Road. Rudd replaced Daley for his first appearance at the Priestfield Stadium against Gillingham in the league last month following the dismissal of Fraser Forster.

Francomb, Stephens and Dawkin all made their first team debuts in the 1-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy win, also at Priestfield Stadium against Gillingham, in October 2009.
