Mick Dennis 0 Posted June 9, 2011 Wow! How scary to have a reminder of my distant past. I am sorry to say that I can''t remember setting the quiz, much less the answers.Gerry Harrison (then at Anglia TV) and I used to provide the content for the Norwich programme of that era. The club paid a publisher, who engaged Gerry and me as joint editors. I used to bash out my contributions (by typewriter on paper, of course) and send them in a parcel by train from Norwich station to the publisher/printer (based near Liverpool Street).For a Christmas time programme, like the one you are quoting, I would have had to provide the content long in advance -- hence the idea of a timeless quiz rather than anything topical which would have become out of date.At the time (77-78) I was the EDP''s Norwich City correspondent and so the work on the programme had to be fitted around my "proper" job.That was my last season in the job. The final match I reported for the EDP was the 1978 FA Cup Final (look up who won, if you don''t know) -- and after that it was definitely time to move on, so I sought and got a job in Fleet Street.With the help of Google, I have just found out that the Vic Busby hat-trick was against Leicester at Carrow Road, but I have no idea what I meant about a second hat-trick.I can''t remember the Keelan penalties game and wonder if it was a testimonial.Sorry not to be able to remember a quiz I set 34 years ago (!), but thanks for giving me a bit of nostalgia.

The Fish Seller 0 Posted June 9, 2011 I think the answer to no 4 is Don Revie. he was found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute by the FA but had his 10 year suspension overturned by the Courts and therefore "was not punished" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dimly remember some player somewhere in those innocent days getting rewarded by a local butcher for every goal scored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eadienhucks 0 Posted June 9, 2011 Thanks anyway :) on that date we were 6th in Div 1 and if were playing ipswich..did we win?..Loved your rant in the prog against chelsea 12 nov,attacking our council over plans to reduce capaity to 19,000!Apparently our council along with cardiffs,were the only ones who have interpretaded new Gov legislation,which meant capacity had to be reduced immediately under new safety laws..You stated it all councils should have the same guidelines from kingslynn/cambridge to liverpool/leeds..We were also the 1st to put in an appeal(i take it we won)Always think our council are anti norwich anyway.

nutty nigel 7,530 Posted June 9, 2011 I think the penalties was the game against Manchester City when we lost 2-0. Two Denis Tueart penalties one of which was retaken twice. And I reckon the fans who were going to win the league in August but "went down the pan" were the "Toon Army". They won their first game and the not another until the end of October. They had qualified for Europe the previous season and were knocked out of that too. Ended up relegated with West Ham and Leicester. We won that game against ipswich 1-0 thanks to a John Ryan goal. Good job really because we''d lost the away game 0-5 where Whymark scored a hattrick. Don''t think it was connected to Busby''s though! Oh.. and the ref on the day of the penalties was the incomparable Roger Kirkpatrick! Mr Dennis - Howabout putting a team of Journo''s in next season''s Canary Fan''s Quiz? We had 10 teams enter this season and it was won by a team from Club Canary. The real winners were Each because we raised £400. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon a "death march" woiuld have suited some of the football we played when he first joined! Is a legend for what he later achieved though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Fish Seller 0 Posted June 9, 2011 Could the Viv Busby one be something to do with him becoming the third player in that specific position to leave the club within a season? (Other two being Ted McDougall and Peter Osgood). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,530 Posted June 9, 2011 Could be Buckethead, it''s certainly intriguing. But Busby didn''t leave until late ''77 so that doesn''t really tally with what Mick Dennis posted earlier. Phil Boyer left for Southampton before Busby went to Stoke so he would have counted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Was that Busby''s third hat trick of the season?[/quote]---Sadly his only one, lappin. I still have hopes of my trio of gift tifters! Also, I thought it was Bond who hated On the ball..., calling it a dirge. But perhaps Saunders did too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
