The 2020/21 campaign looks as though it is all set to go down as an unforgettable season of success for Norwich City.

Following their relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season, the Canaries have responded to that drop in division in outstanding fashion, and Daniel Farke's side are now within touching distance of an immediate return to the top-flight of English football.

One player who has been key to Norwich's resurgence this season is, perhaps inevitably, Teemu Pukki, who has once again led the line brilliantly for the Canaries, comfortably passing the 20 goal mark in the league to help lead his side back to the promised land.

But just how does Pukki compare to some of the other strikers to have led the line for Norwich in recent seasons?

Here, in order to get a better idea of that, we’ve taken a look at who we think are the ten best strikers to have played for Norwich since the turn of the century.

We start this list with Gary Hooper, who joined Norwich from Scottish giants Celtic in the summer of 2013.

Hooper's first season at Carrow Road saw him score eight goals in all competitions for the club, which was enough to put him top of the Canaries' scoring charts as they suffered relegation from the Premier League, with Hooper remaining at the club for that drop into the Championship.

The following campaign saw Hooper chip in with a useful 12 goals for the Canaries as they secured an immediate promotion back to the Premier League, which saw Hooper loaned out to Sheffield Wednesday in September 2015 after struggling for game time early in that top-flight campaign, making that move permanent the following January.

Having come through the academy at Norwich, Martin's career with the Canaries was something of a stop-start one, with the striker often being sent out on loan from Carrow Road.

Never the less, the striker was still able to make an impact for the Canaries on occasion, not least during the 2009/10, when he scored 23 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions to help Norwich claim the League One title just a year after relegation.

Martin also helped the club win promotion to the Premier League the following season, and by the time he made a loan move to Derby permanent in 2013, he had scored a respectable 34 goals in 117 appearances in all competitions for the Carrow Road club.

Another who came through the club's academy, Dublin never managed to make a senior appearance for Norwich before leaving the club in 1988, but he would do so after returning to Carrow Road in 2006.

The former England international would spend the last two seasons of his career with the Canaries, and while he may have been in twilight years of his time as a player, he still showed the instinct that made him such a threat for so many years, scoring 16 goals in 79 appearances in all competitions for the club.

Indeed, Dublin's final game for both Norwich and of his career would be an emotional occasion, as the striker received a standing ovation from the whole of Carrow Road after being substituted in that final game - having also been named the club's player of the year that season - highlighting the immensely high regard in which he was held around the club.

Jerome joined Norwich the summer of 2014/15, and made an immediate impact for the club, scoring 21 goals in 45 games - including one in the play-off final win over Middlesbrough - as the Canaries claimed promotion to the Premier League.

That was enough for Jerome to claim the club's Golden Boot award that season, and although he struggled to make the same impact as Norwich were immediately relegated from the Premier League, Jerome would again impress in the Championship in 2016/17, scoring 16 goals in 41 appearances to again finish as the club's top scorer.

The striker then completed a move to Derby for a reported £1.5million in January 2018, having netted a respectable total of 42 goals in 138 appearances for the Canaries.

Norwich signed Ashton for a then club record fee when the striker made the move to Carrow Road from Crewe in the 2005 January transfer window, and it would prove to be a valuable piece of business.

Although he was unable to prevent the Canaries from suffering relegation, Ashton still impressed with a return of seven goals in 16 Premier League appearances for Norwich during his first few months for the club.

The following season saw Ashton continue his eye-catching form with a further 11 goals 30 games during the first half of the season, convincing West Ham to pay a fee worth up to £7.25million for  Ashton a year after he joined Norwich in January 2006, earning the Canaries a rather tidy profit on the striker.

Joining from Manchester City on a loan deal that was quickly made permanent in the summer of 2003, Huckerby's debut season with Norwich saw him score 14 goals in 36 games to help them to promotion to the Premier League in the 2003/04 season.

Although the Canaries were then relegated from the top-flight at the end of the 2004/05 campaign, Huckerby's performances were still enough to earn him the club's player of the year award that season, a recognition he would also receive for the 2006/07 campaign.

In total, Huckerby scored 46 goals in 203 appearances in all competitions for Norwich, with his efforts and passion for the Canaries making him a deserving cult figure amongst the club's fanbase, and earning him a place in the club's hall of fame.

Following the departure of the aforementioned Dean Ashton to West Ham, Norwich responded by bringing in Robert Earnshaw from West Brom late in the 2006 January transfer window.

The Welshman would make an immediate impact for Norwich, scoring eight goals for the club by the end of that season, and he followed that up during the subsequent 2007/08 campaign, where he top scored for the Canaries with 19 goals, despite missing several months of the season through injury.

That did however, lead to plenty of attention from elsewhere in Earnshaw, with then newly promoted Premier League side Derby breaking their transfer record to sign the striker in the summer of 2007, meaning he left Norwich with an outstanding record of 27 goals in 45 games for the club.

There are unlikely to be many bigger bargains in Norwich City, than the signing of Teemu Pukki on a free transfer from Brondby in the summer of 2018.

Pukki's first season at Norwich saw him smash 29 goals in 45 Championship games to claim both the club and the league's player of the season award as the Canaries marched to the second-tier title, with the Finn also hitting double figures in the Premier League last season despite the club's struggles.

Having stuck with the club last summer following relegation, Pukki looks to have immediately helped Norwich back to the Premier League, having once again flown past the 20 goal mark in the Championship, which ought to be no surprise given the ruthless finishing instinct and ability he possesses.

Having made the move to Carrow Road from Wolves in the summer of 1997, Roberts was already a Norwich player by the turn of the century, but he still made a significant impact for the club after it.

The striker finished as the club's top scorer in four straight seasons between 1998 and 2002, wining the club's Player of the Season award twice in that period, and would continue to feature regularly for the club through to Norwich's promotion in 2004, scoring eight goals in that First Divison title-winning campaign.

However, Roberts was released at the end of that season, having scored a total 97 goals in 306 appearances in all competitions for the club, comfortably earning himself a place in the Norwich City hall of fame.

Given his record for Norwich City, it is going to be hard to argue against Grant Holt claiming top spot in this particular list.

Having made the move to Carrow Road from Shrewsbury in the summer of 2009, Holt scored 30 goals during his debut campaign with the club as they claimed promotion from League One, backing that up with 23 goals the following season, as Norwich made it back to back promotions to secure a place in the Premier League.

Holt's first season in the top-flight with the Canaries saw him score an impressive 17 goals in all competitions to help the club retain their top-flight status, also earning him a third straight Norwich Player of the Season award, and though he left the club after helping them stay in the Premier League for a second season in the summer of 2013, Holt's record of 78 goals in 168 appearances, helped him earn a place in the club's Hall of Fame as well.
