History of the Scunthorpe United v Norwich City fixture

Norwich City travel to take on Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Canaries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them with only a 20.00% success rate in the fixture.

The last time the two teams met at Scunthorpe U. was way back in the black-and-white days of January 1964, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Second Division match.
