By his own admission, Angus Gunn has taken the scenic route to become a member of Norwich City's 100 club. 

The goalkeeper's outing in the Canaries' 2-1 defeat to Rotherham United on Saturday saw him reach the milestone during his second spell as a professional at Carrow Road. 

He becomes the second member of the Gunn clan to reach triple figures - even if he remains a way behind his father Bryan, who amassed 447 games in yellow and green during a 12-year association with the club. 

Angus was born in Norfolk and grew up as a City supporter. He left in 2011 to join Manchester City's academy but couldn't wait to return to Norfolk on loan in 2017. 

His performances during that Championship campaign persuaded Southampton to part with a fee of £13.5million before he returned to Norwich on a permanent basis back in 2021.

Since, he has won the duel with Tim Krul to be number one and become a regular in the first team. Gunn has also become a fully-fledged international for Scotland since his return to Norwich. 

Although he wasn't able to mark the occasion with a victory, it was a moment of real personal pride for the City keeper. 

"It's been weird. I grew up as a fan - it is a little bit different as a player because you have to keep your emotions in check and you can't get carried away, especially as a goalkeeper," Gunn said after City's defeat to Rotherham.

"It's hard to do that sometimes but I love it and the support the crowd has shown me and the belief the coaches and club have shown me has meant a lot. I want to keep getting better.

"I was speaking to someone the other day and this is probably the best time of my career at the moment. I just want to relish it, enjoy every minute and long may it continue.

"It's a nice thing to have. It's not a nice feeling to lose on that occasion but hopefully there will be more positive games that I can look back on."
