Former Norwich City striker Nelson Oliveira insists his old club will always be bigger than local rivals Ipswich Town.

Oliveira remains a popular figure with many City fans, despite falling out of favour under Daniel Farke.

“I never had an easy relationship with Ipswich fans. One time playing for Norwich I said that we should win the derby because Norwich is a bigger club," he told The Tilehurst End. “Maybe I didn't look at the stories of both clubs, as I know Ipswich is also a good club.

“But I still think Norwich is bigger.

“I have love for the people of Norwich and for the fans.

“In my opinion, Norwich will always be a much bigger club than Ipswich. So when I scored that goal, my yellow and green heart came through. I celebrated with a little bit more passion, and it helped us get an important win as well."
