What A Fabulous Photo.

[TIL 1010 4,801]

Taken at The Nest obviously. It is v Grimsby Town in 1934 but has anybody any info regarding that magnificent trophy and those shields ?

By the way i nicked it off Facebook where no further details were given.

If we are going old norwich photos how about this one?

The Norwich squad in 1909, featuring George Porter and John Flanagan who would sadly later die in combat during world war 1.

Nope, but very interesting photo - thanks for sharing.

Also, is Grimsby's shield bigger than ours?  Why can't we be 1934 - 35 Season Grimsby?

Calm down, she's probably young enough to be the great granddaughter of half the posters on here 😉

The match was the N&N Hospital Cup,  May 7th 1934.  City triumphed 7-2, Vinall (5) & Kirchen (2) scoring the goals.

The three trophies are (l to r): 

D3(S) winners (won by Norwich that season) / Hospital Cup / D2 winners (won by Grimsby that season)

The D2 Shield was retired in 1958 and can be seen at the Nat'l Football Museum.

Exactly 364 days later Norwich City played its last-ever match at The Nest.

Oh but you have applied or so you told me a few months back and yes i got one at 61 years just as they started upping the age requirement so i imagine you made an assumption once you got your state pension. 😜

A fine example of what is good about this forum NewNestCarrow.

Echo @TIL 1010's words (and thanks for putting up the original photo, Tilly). I love all these old-time threads where I can find out more about the club's history.

@NewNestCarrow, if you ever feel like sharing more of your historical knowledge, I'm sure that many of us on here would be all ears.

No messing with our goalie. He looks a mean so and so.👍

Great photo btw.

I reckon the City line-up here is:

back row:  Robert Young (trainer), lino, Halliday(?), Morris, Lochhead, Wharton, Thorpe

front row: Kirchen, Burditt(?), Ramsay(?), Vinall, Houghton(?), Murphy

Dougald Lochhead was at Norwich from 1929-50, as player, ****'t mgr, interim manager & Manager, and he scored the First Ever goal at Carrow Road.

Alf Kirchen, born in Shouldham, signed for Arsenal after only 18 City games & won the D1 title in 1937-38.  He is one of only seven Sons of Norfolk to win an England cap.

Ken Burditt scored 61 times in 171 City appearances, while Jack Vinall rattled in 80 in 181.

That Grimsby side finished 5th in D1 the following season, their highest-ever placing.

I reckon they could do with you on the Norwich City Historical Trust, that is if you are not already on it. 😜

According to the interweb that's about £50,000 in 'today's money'.

 

[alex_ncfc 666]

I used to have a book (it's still about somewhere) from the mid 90s called something like "The Norwich City Story: 90 years of the Canaries on Camera", by the EDP, and it was full of great old photos (like those above) from 1902 upto 1995. I'd scan it in as a PDF if I knew where it was! Hundreds of pictures.

Plus fours (or are they twos) at a Football match?

Can you imagine what those kits were like when they got soaking wet?
