40 years ago, Kevin Reeves became only the second player to play for England while at Norwich City. He remains part of a prestigious club of seven.
“I was with my wife when I was reminded of that, and I said ‘blimey, I cannot believe that,’” Kevin said, catching up with canaries.co.uk four decades on from his international debut.
From 1979’s England manager Ron Greenwood to Norwich boss John Bond, Reeves had a handful of people to thank for his first international cap, but perhaps none more so than mother nature.
“I know John Bond had a little bit to do with it because I think he’d recommended me to Ron Greenwood who had a West Ham connection,” Kevin recalls.
