Norwich boss baffled by twin starlets
Chris Hughton has asked identical twins Josh and Jacob Murphy to wear different colour boots so he can tell the pair apart.
The young Norwich attackers have come through the youth ranks at Carrow Road and are now in the first team squad.
Josh set up Norwich's equaliser against Fulham in the FA Cup and turned in a man of the match performance, before being substituted for his brother.
The 18-year-old said: 'We always wear the same things. Until about three weeks ago we wore the same coloured boots.
'But the gaffer said "I can tell the difference when I'm close to you but from the other side of the pitch I don't know who's who!"
'So they've made us swap. I've got to wear orange boots now and Jacob's are blue.'
