The previous decade had been a generous one to the Norfolk club. It had witnessed promotion to the top flight of English football for the first time in their history, relegation, promotion, a first and then second ever visit to Wembley for a major Cup final as well as the appointment of the club's very own star of both the game and celebrity circus of its own, the one and very only John Bond. However, with the club beginning to struggle and the obvious talents of the mercurial John Bond constantly attracting the attention of some bigger clubs, the end of the decade looked, for Norwich, to be a prelude to the sort of anonymity and struggle that had characterised the clubs existence for much of its history. Would the 1980s turn out to be a time when the Canaries briefly flared in the footballing skies for all to see, before falling back into obscurity? Or would they grow and prosper with the game, despite that drive towards glamour and celebrity within, one that favoured the big clubs and the big games at the expense of everyone and everything else, the long-term effects which we continue to see to this day with clubs falling on hard times, administration, and, even in some cases, liquidation and extinction. One thing is for certain - if the club was to continue to prosper in the coming decade, it would be a bigger achievement than anything they had achieved in the previous one.
