The club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former player Terry Allcock on Monday night.

Allcock was a key part of the memorable '59ers cup run, when City reached the semi-final of the FA Cup for the first time, as a Third Division side.

His goal against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane is fondly remembered by many supporters, while the underdog Canaries also claimed scalps such as Matt Busby's Manchester United and Sheffield United en route to the semi-final.

Born in Leeds, Allcock began his footballing career with Bolton Wanderers in 1953, where he played for five years.

The forward had a positive start to his time up north, scoring twice in his first appearance against Manchester City and the famous Bert Trautmann in goal.

Despite his impressive debut, Allcock only made 31 appearances and scored nine goals for the Division One side, having to compete with international stars Nat Lofthouse, Willie Moir and Harold Hassall.

Allcock made the move to Norwich City in March of 1958, where he would go on to become a club legend.

His 11 years with the Canaries saw him make 391 appearances and score 127 goals, which put him second in the club's all time goal-scoring list at the time of his retirement.

The '59ers cup run will always be talked about, but Allcock remained a huge part of the club long after his playing days at Norwich City, turning his hand to coaching until 1973.

He was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in 2002.

The thoughts of everybody at Norwich City are with Terry’s family and friends at this deeply sad time.
