As a player, he was a [[midfielder]] who began his career with [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]]. before making 418 appearances for [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]] where he notably played in the [[Premier League]] and [[UEFA Cup]]. He finished his career with spells in [[Japan]] and [[Australia]] with [[Sanfrecce Hiroshima]] and [[Northern Spirit FC|Northern Spirit]]. He won one cap in 1987 as an [[England B national football team|England B]] international.
A central midfield player, who won one cap in 1987 as an [[England B national football team|England B]] international, Crook made a lasting impression at Norwich. Notably, he was elected to be a member of the [[Norwich City F.C. Hall of Fame|club's Hall of Fame]].▼
 
After his playing career Crook went into coaching, mostly in Australia, with [[Newcastle Jets]] and [[New South Wales Institute of Sport Football (Soccer) Program|NSWIS]]. He was serving as manager of [[A-League]] club [[Sydney FC]] in 2012, before joining the [[Western Sydney Wanderers]] football club as Assistant Manager. In 2004 he also had a spell as national team manager of [[American Samoa national football team|American Samoa]].
 
==Club career==
Crook began his football career at [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] signing with the club as a schoolboy in 1976. He made his debut in 1980 against Liverpool and stayed with the North London club for another six years. He found it difficult to break into the first team, as the Tottenham midfield at the time contained Glenn Hoddle and Ossie Ardiles. He would, however, receive a [[UEFA Cup]] Medal in 1984 as an unused substitute for the final, in which Tottenham beat [[R.S.C. Anderlecht]] on penalties. He appeared in the semifinal against [[HNK Hajduk Split|Hajduk]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[UEFA]]|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/1109--hajduk-split-vs-tottenham/|title=Hajduk v Tottenham game report|accessdate=15 June 2021}}</ref>
 
In 1986 Crook moved to Norwich City for a fee of £80,000, which would prove to be one of the best bargain buys for the club. He was at the hub of the most successful team in Norwich's history. During his eleven seasons at the club, he helped them to three top five finishes in England's [[FA Premier League|top]] division and played in the club's [[UEFA Cup]] run in the 1993–94 season, though he missed the match in which Norwich were eliminated from the competition – against Inter Milan in the San Siro – through suspension after collecting two yellow cards in the tournament. He was a midfielder noted for his passing ability and accuracy from set-pieces. Many experts in the game believe that had Crook played for a so-called bigger club, he would have played for the full England team. In a 2001 poll for Four Four Two magazine, Crook was voted as one of the best players never to have played for England, along with his former Norwich team-mate [[Steve Bruce]].
Line 39:
In 1997, he was signed by [[Eddie Thomson]] for [[Sanfrecce Hiroshima]]. He left the club in May 1998 and transferred to [[Northern Spirit FC]], where he stayed until retiring as a player in 2000.
 
In 2002, Norwich fans voted Crook into the [[Norwich City F.C. Hall of Fame]]. In September of the same year he played at Carrow Road in the club's centenary match against [[Harwich & Parkeston F.C.]]. Crook remained a favourite with Norwich City supporters, and in 2008 he was voted in the Greatest Ever Norwich City eleven.<ref>[http://www.ex-canaries.co.uk/players/crook.htm Norwich City profile]</ref>
 
==Managerial career==
Line 46:
During his work in Australia, he was often linked with a possible return to Norwich, notably in the [[close-season]] of 2006, when [[Martin Hunter (football coach)|Martin Hunter]] was eventually appointed as coach in place of [[Steve Foley (footballer born 1953)|Steve Foley]]. Following the departure of [[Peter Grant (footballer, born 1965)|Peter Grant]] from Norwich City in October 2007, Crook was again linked with the vacant manager's position.<ref>[http://www.pinkun.com/content/ncfc/story.aspx?brand=PINKUNOnline&category=Norwich&tBrand=PinkUnOnline&tCategory=Norwich&itemid=NOED11%20Oct%202007%2016%3A34%3A25%3A290 City legend moves up the betting stakes] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071110002717/http://www.pinkun.com/content/ncfc/story.aspx?brand=PINKUNOnline&category=Norwich&tBrand=PINKUNOnline&tCategory=Norwich&itemid=NOED11%20Oct%202007%2016%3A34%3A25%3A290 |date=10 November 2007 }}</ref>
 
In January 2007 Crook accepted the assistant manager's role at Japanese second division side [[Avispa Fukuoka]] to be reunited with Littbarski, but the pair were dismissed in July 2008. He was subsequently linked with new [[A-League]] club [[North Queensland Fury FC]], but instead was recruited for a second spell as manager at the [[Newcastle Jets]].<ref name="crook">{{cite news |url=http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/87369,jets-swoop-to-land-crook.aspx |title=Jets Swoop to Land Crook |publisher=AU FourFourTwo |date=23 October 2008 |access-date=2008-10-24 |archive-date=20 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220041718/http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/87369,jets-swoop-to-land-crook.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref>
On 21 January 2009 Crook was unveiled as first team coach for Norwich City alongside new manager and former teammate [[Bryan Gunn]]. In June 2010 he returned to Australia, signing a two-year contract as Director of Coaching for [[Sydney Olympic Football Club]].<ref>[http://www.sydneyolympicfc.com/news/2010/06/16/ian-crook-director-of-coaching-of-sydney-olympic-football-club/ Ian Crook Director of Coaching of Sydney Olympic Football Club] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110228054627/http://www.sydneyolympicfc.com/news/2010/06/16/ian-crook-director-of-coaching-of-sydney-olympic-football-club |date=28 February 2011 }}</ref> Ian left Sydney Olympic in 2010 to take up the position of Head Coach at the New South Wales Institute of Sport.
