Geoffrey Watling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geoffrey Watling (1913– 16 November 2004) was the president and a former chairman of Norwich City (1957–1973 and 1996).[1] A charity in his name was founded in 1993.[2]
A stand at Norwich's stadium, Carrow Road is named after Watling. He was awarded this honour because of his instrumental role in saving the club from bankruptcy, both in the 1950s and 1990s; his father had played a similar role in 1919.
