Iwan once again provided the bulk of Norwich City's goals in their disappointing 2000-01 campaign, finishing as top scorer for the third season in succession.

His style is not spectacular, but it is certainly effective - he is a big, awkward centre forward who is very difficult to play against. He receives the ball from all angles and at all heights, and then uses it efficiently to keep possession -but it is when he is in the penalty area that he comes into his own.

He has a natural goalscoring instinct to arrive in the right place at the right time and registered the 200th goal of his career while netting a hat-trick against Stockport County at Carrow Road in February.

He was a regular for Wales in 2000-01 where he often teamed up with his former Canary colleague, Craig Bellamy.

Iwan joined Gillingham in July 2004 with a two-year contract.
