Chelmsford Canary 0 Posted April 10, 2013 Strange question - but sure someone will know...what was the team when we won it in ''83? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Dawson 0 Posted April 10, 2013 From distant memory, Goss, Gordon, Rigby, Clayton, Donowa? And we signed the Everton youth striker Farrington after the final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted April 10, 2013 It was Everton. Dave Stringer went on to build one of the most entertaining city teams I''ve watched in the late 80s. Maybe Adams will tread a similar path. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 76 Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks Tilly - I''d forgotten Spearing and Godbold were also part of that team. Hopefully the current squad can replicate this feat against potentially another Merseyside team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crabbycanary 2 Posted April 11, 2013 [quote user="dpit"]Went to the Carrow Road leg. Remember a very exciting match. Does anyone know the attendance that night?[/quote]I didn''t know them all, but there were certainly some junior pantwetters, trolls, doom merchants, plastics and fans that lived in/near the City at the time, have subsequently moved away, but continue to support the team, no doubt.I was there, as I had been throughout the rounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted April 11, 2013 http://services.pinkun.com/forums/pinkun/cs/forums/2897005/ShowPost.aspxSon of NCFC FA Youth Cup winner Paul Clayton scored in the JPT final yesterday for Crewe Alex. Both of Pauls sons have played for Crewe, Max Clayton is an England internatonal.Not his finest hour but Paul (Clanger) Clayton will probably be remembered for the Milk Cup 1st leg at Poorman Rd, he was selected to play on the wing but was never in the game.I remember reading that Tony Spearing does some scouting for clubs in Europe.

Cerberus 0 Posted April 11, 2013 TC Canary,I briefly used to live next door to Tony Spearing when he was playing for Leicester but still living in Norwich in the days before millionaire players. He was a really decent bloke and not full of himself. I believe he is now connected to scouting for West Brom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
