Norwich will pay tribute to former manager John Bond before tonight's Capital One Cup tie against Doncaster at Carrow Road, after he passed away aged 79.

Bond was in charge of City and led them back into the top flight and was in charge for the 1975 League Cup final at Wembley, and was one of the game's most colourful characters.

In a statement the club said:

Manchester City also paid tribute to Bond.

Bond also played for Torquay, and after leaving Maine Road in February 1983 had spells in charge of Burnley, Swansea, Birmingham and Shrewsbury.

He was the father of former Tottenham assistant manager Kevin Bond.
