Dave Stringer (born October 15, 1944 in Great Yarmouth ) is a former English football player and coach who was active in both functions at Norwich City .

Player career

Norwich City (1964-1976)

Dave Stringer started his career in the 1964/65 season with the English second division club Norwich City and established himself as a regular a year later. In 1972 he rose with his team for the first time in the club's history in the First Division . The climber trained by Ron Saunders secured relegation in the Football League First Division 1972/73 and also reached the final of the League Cup (0-1 against Tottenham Hotspur ). After relegation as bottom of the table in 1974, Stringer rose with his team in the following season directly back to the first division. For the second time Norwich moved into the league cup final, but lost again (0-1 against Aston Villa ). After relegation in the 1975/76 season , Dave Stringer moved to Cambridge United in September 1976 and rose to the third division in 1976/77. In the 1977/78 season, Cambridge managed to march straight through to the second division as runners-up.

Coaching career

Norwich City (1987-1992)

After he had previously returned to Norwich City as a youth coach, Dave Stringer took over on November 9, 1987 as the successor to Ken Brown, the coaching post of the first division. After a fourteenth place in his first season as head coach, Stringer led his team in the First Division in 1988/89 to fourth place in the table and thus achieved the best placement in the club's history at that time. In addition, Norwich reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup 1988/89 , but missed the finals by a 0-1 against FC Everton . In the following three seasons, however, the club could not hold this level and deteriorated continuously. Stringer's activities in Norwich ended in the summer of 1992 after they had just barely been relegated to the Football League First Division in 1991/92 and another semi-final in the FA Cup in 1991/92 (0: 1 against AFC Sunderland ).
