Adam Drury (born 29 August 1978 in Cottenham, England) is a professional footballer who is captain of Norwich City.
Drury joined Norwich City from Peterborough United in March 2001 for £500,000. He is a left-back and has been a regular for the Canaries since he signed for the club. He was voted Norwich City player of the year in 2002–03. Norwich manager Nigel Worthington appointed Drury team captain the following season and he led the team to the Division One Championship. Drury was presented with the trophy as captain on the balcony of City Hall, Norwich in front of tens of thousands of supporters.
In the close season of 2004 Norwich signed competition for Drury in the shape of the experienced Simon Charlton from Bolton Wanderers but Charlton often ended up playing in the centre of defence with Drury retaining his place on the left. Loss of form during the 2004-05 season did lead to Drury being dropped for a short time and he was relieved of the captaincy (which passed to Craig Fleming) until the start of the 2006–07 season when he was re-instated. Towards the end of the 2004-05 season he found his form again and turned in an outstanding display as part of the Norwich team that beat Manchester United 2-0 at Carrow Road. He continued to be a key member of the Norwich squad on their return to the Coca Cola Championship for season 2005–06. Norwich manager Nigel Worthington named Drury as Norwich City captain for the 2006-07 season.
He is married and has a son named Ethan
