BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Barry Butler is a Norwich City legend for all time.The defensive lynchpin in our run to an FA Cup semi-final replay in 1958-59 as a Third Division South club. The most romantic cup run of all time when City outfootballed a series of top tier clubs including the Manchester United Busby Babes (with Bobby Charlton) by 3-0.Ken Nethercott/Sandy Kennon; Bryan Thurlow, Ron Ashman; Roy McCrohan, Barry Butler, Matt Crowe: Errol Crossan, Terry Allcock, Terry Bly, Jimmy Hill, Bobby Brennan.Your Dad had a wonderful mate.The Norwich City Player of the Season is still awarded with the Barry Butler Memorial Trophy.Congrats on your wonderful win over Chelsea this week.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ramrod 258 Posted August 28, 2006 Dave, why not send your Dad''s story to the Club. When the Barry Butler memorial trophy is presented they might just invite your Dad along. It would be a nice gesture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for your replies everyone. I have sent an email to the club via the official website. I also noticed the hall of fame bit says Barry died in 1965. I pointed out that it was actually 1966 [:^)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
