Adam Drury is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on August 29, 1978 in Cottenham, Cottenham, United Kingdom. Adam James Drury (born 29 August 1978) is an English former professional footballer who is best known for his eleven-year spell at Norwich City, where he captained the club, and is a member of their Hall of Fame. He is currently assistant manager at non-League club Wroxham.
In May 2007, Drury signed a new four-year contract with Norwich. However, he suffered serious knee injury problems which saw him make just 20 league appearances in the 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons combined.
In 2011–12, following promotion to the Premier League, Drury’s opportunities were limited due to the form of Marc Tierney. However, on 27 December 2011, an injury to Tierney led to a start against Tottenham Hotspur at Carrow Road – his first top-flight appearance for Norwich since 2005. He was inducted into Norwich City’s Hall of Fame on 20 March 2012, alongside teammates Grant Holt and Wes Hoolahan, and manager Paul Lambert. After eleven years of service at the club, Drury received a testimonial match in his honour against Celtic, played at Carrow Road on 22 May 2012. Norwich won the match 2–0.
Drury ended an 11-year spell at Norwich, when he signed a two-year contract for Leeds United. Drury was allocated the number 3 shirt for the 2012–13 season on 3 August. Drury was named on the bench for Leeds in the first game of the season against Shrewsbury Town in the League Cup on 11 August. Drury made his debut for Leeds in the 2–1 victory over Peterborough United on 25 August.
In the close season of 2004 Norwich signed competition for Drury in the shape of the experienced Simon Charlton from Bolton Wanderers but Charlton often ended up playing in the centre of defence with Drury retaining his place on the left. Loss of form during the 2004–05 Premier League season did lead to Drury being dropped for a short time and he was relieved of the captaincy (which passed to Craig Fleming) until the start of the 2006–07 season when he was re-instated. Towards the end of the 2004–05 season he found his form again and turned in an outstanding display as part of the Norwich team that beat Manchester United 2–0 at Carrow Road. He continued to be a key member of the Norwich squad on their return to the Championship for season 2005–06. Norwich manager Nigel Worthington named Drury as Norwich City captain for the 2006–07 season, though Worthington’s successor Peter Grant awarded the captaincy to Jason Shackell at the beginning of the 2007–08 campaign.
