During the 1998β99 English football season, Norwich City F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.
Norwich made a good start to the 1998β1999 campaign, with a 1β0 victory against East Anglia rivals Ipswich Town at Portman Road being the highlight and by Christmas 1998, the prospects of promotion back to the Premiership were looking good β but the club didn't win a home game again until 1 May. During the season on 18 March 1999, ambiguous midfielder Keith O'Neill joined Middlesbrough for a fee of Β£700,000. [1]
Off the field on 17 December 1998, there were slight changes in the boardroom where Bob Cooper replaced Barry Lockwood as club chairman. [2]
