Philippe Clement has been a surprise appointment as head coach of the Norwich City, but the Belgian might find himself quite at home in the city.
Norfolk's county town has long been intertwined with Belgian history, after welcoming 30 households in 1565 from the Low Countries, which included parts of Belgium and the Netherlands.
The immigrant group, known as the Elizabethan Strangers, numbered about 300 initially, but soon grew to 4,000 as more people fled religious persecution, and they helped revive Norwich's troubled textile industry.
The immigrants brought canaries with them and a new breed, called the Norwich canary, soon appeared, leading to the bird featuring on Norwich City's crest and Canaries becoming the club's nickname.
