In 2022 when Norwich City FC signed a then 19-year-old Greek winger Christos Tzolis from Greek Super League side PAOK he didn’t take long to settle in. In fact, it took him just 12 minutes to score on his debut against Bournemouth.
The local radio commentator, in a moment of inspiration, marked this milestone by saying, “He came from Greece and that’s his first for Norwich.” I don’t know how many people high-fived each other on hearing this, but those who did were Pulp fans.
