But I got to research them for SOTB and Tom's goal scoring stats are phenomenal.. Tom Johnston.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 5, 2018 Ginger Sadd Remember him as a bouncer down at the Industrial Club. Over 250 fights and beat some good uns in his day, Tommy Farr, Freddie Mills but could never beat the top ones like Turpin and McAvoy. Nice old boy. Norwich has a history of some good boxers.

daly 500 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Yes We're getting off subject, Ginger Sadd was my Grannies cousin and remember my Grandad taking me to the Corn Hall ( I believe Jarrolds took part of the site when it was demolished in the 60's) to see him fight. Not sure if he used to fight at the Cattle Market fair where pro fighters would take on anyone from the crowd. Those were the days PS Another piece of useless information The River Cockey ran under the old Corn Hall and ran into The River Wensum Edited December 6, 2018 by daly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daly 500 Posted December 8, 2018 Nice article in EEN by David Freezer regarding 1950 FA Cup game Pity he did not get the team names correct Lewis Bill correct name Bill Lewis big mistake considering Bill spent his last years working for the EEN Also Church was always known as Johnny Church Interesting also Ron Ashman centre forward who went on to become Captain and our regular left back Still a good article Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 8, 2018 Interesting also Ron Ashman centre forward who went on to become Captain and our regular left back And manager Saw Bill Lewis playing on Earlham Park for a local team in the 60's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daly 500 Posted January 6, 2019 43129 the day I stood in The Enclosure in Jan 1950, Saturdays game a respectable half that amount. I think the 1950 side Portsmouth would have seen off both of tonight's teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
