In the troubled times football was going through then, the friendly side of it is something fans from both sides who were there, will never forget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Masked Raccoon 0 Posted August 11, 2017 Do they get to put a brown star on the back of their shorts for being the longest serving club in the 2nd tier? Make it loud and proud for the whole world to see where Fisions fertiliser really comes from Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted August 11, 2017 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Friendship Trophy is a football match, contested on an irregular basis by just two teams: Norwich City and Sunderland.[1] The match dates back to the camaraderie forged between fans of the two clubs at the time of the 1985 Football League Cup Final that they contested. Norwich City won the 1985 Football League Cup Final, however at the end of the First Division Season, both teams were relegated to the Second Division.[2]Nowadays, the Friendship Trophy is awarded to the winning team in competitive matches between the two sides, and as such, Sunderland are the current holders of the trophy, having beaten Norwich 3-0 at Carrow Road on 16 April 2016 in the Premier League.[3] This trophy is only infrequently contested, as it requires both Norwich City and Sunderland to be in the same division, or to be drawn together in a cup competition, which last happened in 2009, when Sunderland beat Norwich City 4–1 in the Carling Cup.[4] In 2013, Talksport named The Friendship Trophy one of football''s most pointless awards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
