Neil Adams (footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neil James Adams (b. 23 November 1965 in Stoke-on-Trent) is a former professional footballer and current football commentator for BBC Radio Norfolk.
Adams, a right-sided midfield player, began his career with hometown club Stoke City before joining Everton in 1986. Adams won a league championship medal with the Toffees in 1987. He moved to Oldham - where he won a second division championship medal - before joining Norwich for a fee of £250,000 in 1994. During his time at Norwich he assumed the role of penalty taker and dead ball specialist and in his career he only missed from the spot once, in a league cup game against Swansea.
After being released by Norwich in the summer of 1999, Adams returned to former club Oldham for two seasons before retiring. He returned to Norwich where he works on the Radio Norfolk commentary team for Norwich City matches and hosts the post-match phone-in.
