Bowman is also the first person recorded as referring to the club as "The Canaries". The reference comes in an interview recorded in the Eastern Daily Press with the newly-appointed manager in April 1905. The paper quotes him saying "Well I knew of the City's existence... I have... heard of the canaries."cite book
