7th January 1950 NCFC vrs Portsmouth

[daly 500]

Remember the game stood by the half-way line under the Main Stand

Portsmouth were the Man City of the early 50's

Jimmy Dickinson, Scoular,  Froggatt all Internationals

1-1  here and then remember going on the train to Portsmouth for replay which we lost

 

 Now come to me it was called The Enclosure years later used to go in the same area via The Police Gate. A packet of fags to the guy on the gate guaranteed entrance. Those were the days

Here you go Daly (The games were the other way around though)...

 

[daly 500]

Yes  you're right

[GenerationA47 750]

Fascinating newsreel. Didn’t appreciate they did match highlights back then for such games.

Have to say the football seems dire, on the brief clips shown, but then they were lumping around a lead-reinforced stone with concrete fill.

We’re the goalkeepers blindfolded?

We're  ???

 

[Midlands Yellow 3,944]

Or were .

[daly 500]

Ken Nethercott and Kevin Keelan were probably the best goalkeepers NCFC have ever had

[Trevor Hockey's Beard 526]

Ah, the days when a striker could still touch a goalkeeper without giving away a foul, and Health and Safety was the working title for a soon to be launched magazine about nudism.

Did we have stronger bladders in those days? No chance of nipping out for a leak if you're stuck in the middle of that lot.

So , I take it you are claiming to be the oldest PinkUn poster daly?

[nutty nigel 7,510]

The crowd is amazing because there were no floodlights then so the game was played on a Thursday afternoon. However Thursdays was early closing day in Norwich.

Daly must be a contender....

Remember it was an afternoon game but thought replays were played on a Wednesdays . Probably wrong though

 Anyone who wanted to use the toilets was no problem, ,every 20 to 30 yards there was an isle where the steward stood to make sure they were clear.  Plus though King Street and area  had a number of pubs don't think they were the meeting point for fans as is today

[nutty nigel 7,510]

I hadn't realised that Pompey were the current football league champions. Apparently we were robbed at Fratton Park "..it was revealed that Lindy Delaphena, the West Indian born Pompey winger, had handled the cross that gave the home team the lead at half-time."

"...The following Thursday 43,129 people paid to see the replay at Carrow Road (Then a ground record)."

It must have been awesome to be there Daly.👍

I see our friend David Freezer found the video. Always check the best Norwich message board first🙂

I remember watching a game against Portsmouth around that time (can't remember if it was that one) and remember my dad telling me "Portsmouth were our bogey team".

[nutty nigel 7,510]

Not the oldest footage of football at Carrow Road as there's a very brief piece here: -

Daly's more than a contender if he was at this game...

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

Thanks for the old footage. I sometimes think younger members think there wasn't football before Lambert.

Ken Nethercott was a nice old boy. I remember he worked in an electrical shop, Wallis I think.

Could be wrong but don't think we played Portsmouth before as they were in the First Division and we were in Division 3 South and normally finished really low in the that league and remember having to apply for re-election due to finishing in bottom2

You're right Daly, it was probably the early sixties when he told me. I've just checked back and our record until then was just three wins in eleven meetings before Feb 1961 so he was right. Sort of. 😀

 

[lappinitup 629]

Ps. Our ealier games were in Division Three (South).

No not there watching Hearts in Edinburgh

[lappinitup 629]

Can you remember Tommy Johnston Daly?

[TIL 1010 4,722]

I reckon daly must be even older than Nutty and Lapps. 😎

[splendidrush 700]

Oh look,  1p5wich survived by a point.  So much for their history.

Remember Tommy Johnstone  with a nose that looked like he had either got wrong with his wife or Ginger Sadd also a center forward named Oscar Hold who was my Dad's double and by all accounts and  worth a pint  when my Dad went out drinking

[River End Canary 18]

Tilly and Lapps remember the game well it was their first match after they had announced their retirements 

[lappinitup 629]

I do hate cheeky kids.
