1950's Norwich based team photo help please 🙏
spencer 1970 replied to spencer 1970's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I dont think the team is Norwich Corinthians shef, I think that was jnr football and the wrong colour kit, although daly can confirm that one. As for the Tilbury and East Barnet connections, he could have played for them via him being posted down there in the Services, but I cant remember this, and it draws a blank in the remaining family. I know he played for Cambridge Town/City(?), but thats it. Thanks for all the help folks. I'll post back if I ever find out. -

Sorry to have upset you Foxy, its definately not a "wind up". I honestly know nothing about the team apart from its supposedly in Norwich and it was probably in the early/mid 50's. I can send you my Grandads family tree if you like, but I dont think that would help with finding out the team or ground. -

Thanks chaps, some gems there and the Speedway track could be a massive clue to what the team could be. Top darts fellas. My Grandad was Billy Pearce of W.E.Pearce butchers on Bishops Bridge Rd fame (if you remember that shop). He was a proper Norwich lad although was posted in Cambridge and married a Cambridge lass (Grandma) so the Fenstanton link could also be true too. He's front row, second left. -
I think a lot of us feared it wasn't going to be a good fit and although we wanted him to suceceed, it was likely to come true. Yet again, I'll stand by my choice of Knutsen.

I'd like Newcastle be crowned champions within a few seasons thus reaffirming titles can be bought regardless of the owner’s ethics. Then I'd like us to be bought out by Lockheed Martin and our shirt sponsor to have a picture of pile of dead "foreign" babies on the front. Then the EPL would be shown in its true light.

Championship squad values

Our squad is worth about £100m no? -
Paul Warne v Ipswich
spencer 1970 replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Currently 0-1 down at home against the Champions elect, Wigie. 19/20 they came a solid midle table 11th with 52 points (66 if averaged out as covid ended the league) 20/21 was a 9th place finish on 72 points If all stays as is tonight they'll not beat their 72 of last season and 66 of 2019 would be more likely... So, have they statistically found thier place as League One regulars, much like how they found their place in the championship for so long? Absolutely brilliant! -
Oh he should go back to the Binners then. He'll probably start on the wing.

Only one of their starting 11 still plays proffesional football these days, loanee Giovani dos Santos who's at Club América in Mexico. Although both Alex Bruce and Kevin Libie are playing non-league at Macclesfield and VCD Athletic F.C in Craford repectively, so they both may line up against their old employers soon.

...is the title of the lastest "The Athletic" article, telling most of us what we know already. Good to see the actual stats although I can't help but think he's been given a hard time by us lot and it's affected him. He's obviously got quality but it's just not worked to its fullest this season with us.

...or 2 or 3 players? Calm down dear.

My choice is, and will most probably always have been Knutsen. We're a wildcard team in this league, we should have tried a wildcard manager. He works with "buttons" budget and come on, thats what we'll always have compared to the rest of the Prem and a good section of the Championship. Smith seems a good bloke and along with Shakey are a great duo, but it just doesnt feel "us", its not Norwich City is it? As you can probably tell, I was at Brighton on Saturday. It feels "Hughton-y".

14 year old me was there. 2 firsts for me. 1. I saw my team lift a trophy. 2. I saw a chap "driving" a Sinclair C5 whilst walking to Wemberlee.

Pukki vs Iceland

They should call this fixture the "Cold Derby". #illgetmicoat -
Would you buy Kabak or Normann?
spencer 1970 replied to Samwam27's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
This forum only wants *local players for a local team, nothing for you loanees here*. Amazing lilttle ol' Nodge vibes popping up yet again. Get a life lads, we're skint and we had a go at getting Premier League players on a Championship budget. Sometime it works, sometimes is doesnt. Remember we're paying the lowest wages in the league so you often get what you pay for. (*except most of these "local players" have come from Bedfordshire or that there Bluddy Lundon").
