The pressure is on at Norwich this season to achieve promotion back to the Premier League following their relegation.

John Ruddy is playing a huge part in their quest to return to the top flight and we dragged him away from the pressure cooker of the Championship to tell us about his Carrow Road team mates.

Who works the hardest? Who is the laziest? Who’s got the worst dress sense? Read on to find out...

John Ruddy’s Team Mates:

Best Trainer? I’m going to be biased here and say all the goalkeepers. I don’t think people realise how hard we work, the outfield players have it easy.

Worst Trainer? Kyle Lafferty. He's just awful. It’s like he’s never played football before.

Biggest Moaner? Without a doubt, Ryan Bennett. He’ll walk into a room, no one will know he’s there and he’ll just start moaning. It’s unbelievable; he’s not got a good word to say about anything. 

Most Skilful? Nathan Redmond. He’s got some nice tricks. He’s a very good player.

Most Intelligent? I’ll have to say Russell Martin, although it will make his head bigger than it already is. Yeah, the skipper. His ego is going to be out of this world now. 

Least Intelligent? Kyle Lafferty. The thickest man you’ll ever come across.

Best Initiation? We get the Spanish lads coming in doing the Macarena, which is always fun. Carlos Cuellar’s one was probably the best. 

Worst Taste in Music? Jonny Howson likes to listen to Barbie Girl and Cotton Eye Joe, so definitely Jonny. 

And………… who’s the Longest In The Shower? Elliot Bennett.
