norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Came across some old photos my Dad took when we were at Carrow Road on the opening day of the 1990-91 season. We played newly promoted Sunderland in a very entertaining game which we won 3 - 2 having led 2 - 0 at half-time. Apologies for the poor quality. The originals aren't great and these are photos taken from the original photos. Here's hoping our first game back in the top division results in a victory!

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) I don't for the life of me know what the trophy is? it is shown in the second photo and also in the last photo where it was paraded by being held aloft by a blonde haired lady standing up through the sunroof of a car that was driven round the Carrow Road pitch!

Possibly the Friendship Trophy which Norwich and Sunderland play for on an irregular basis - when we are both in the same division or are drawn against each other in a cup competition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_Trophy It commemorates the Milk Cup final in 1985 when both sets of supporters got on so well.

They are hardly new photos. Some people say that in 1990 Delia was yet to step foot inside Carrow Road! How about - not old, but equally not new photos taken by my Dad?

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted May 4, 2019 Not as ancient pictures as I was expecting, but a nice share nonetheless - totally takes me back to when I was present with the old man week in week out, and the Carrow Rd of my youth. Cheers Slim 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Although not being my first Norwich game, this was my first visit to Carrow Road. It was great, a very entertaining match. We were great first half, so much better than Sunderland. My Dad was talking to some fans at half time and they were all in agreement that they couldn't see a way back into the game for Sunderland. Little did we know that Sunderland would come out a different team second half, Gabbiadini in particular was excellent. Happy to have actually found the goals on YouTube.
