Norwich signing Van Wolfswinkel says farewell to Sporting Lisbon fans

Ricky van Wolfswinkel struck twice in his farewell game for Sporting Lisbon this week.

The Dutch striker is moving to Norwich City this summer and hit a brace in his final game for Sporting in victory over Beira-Mar.

"I've had two fantastic years.

"I leave the club with pride, but also a sad feeling.

"Leaving a club like Sporting and its people makes me sad. I will feel the absence, but you are forever in my heart. It was an honor to play here. Viva Sporting," said the 24-year-old striker.
