Bill 1,788 Posted August 11, 2013 Norwich City Strikers from the 60''s to the 80''s with some great stuff from Match of the week when you couldn''t tell which team was which and some also will remember when, as part of crowd control, coppers wore boxing gloves (behind the goal on 1.01minutes)enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted August 12, 2013 with all the talk about stretchers it''s worth noting where the stretcher was left in the early 60''s - 0.55 secs and 2.03 secshow stewards in the 70''s wore white butchers coats (never done up)and coppers had ginger beards (7.40)the latter footage also shows the ''no mans land'' between the City and the Arsenal fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foghorn 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks for that City 1st - brought back a few memories!!Tommy Bryceland, Phil Boyer, etc, not to mention the sight of Bill Punton''s bald head terrorising defenders! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted August 12, 2013 The early stuff was filmed from the River End however I''m sure I remember watching black and white games on Match of the Week with the camera(s) in the South Stand.Anyone any idea of when the cameras moved into the South Stand ?

ricardo 7,385 Posted August 12, 2013 Tommy Bryceland''s turn and pass to Davies at 3.15. Vision and touch combined to perfection. You won''t see better in any league or in any decade.When the little man was on form he was untouchable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted August 12, 2013 similar to Lansbury''s through ball to Holt against the binners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted August 12, 2013 Working in Diss the man who came round selling sandwiches mentioned he used to play for Norwich & Newcastle. Until I checked, I thought he was kidding - but yes, Ollie Burton was indeed an ex-player. Really nice chap too. Looking at that old footage, it makes you appreciate how technically advanced the game is now. I mean, the lack of marking and closing down etc - whoever did the coaching back then? Mrs Mustard could probably score 40+ goals a season if we gave her that much space! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryceland was indeed a little genius on his day. What used to be called in Scotland a tanner ballplayer. And Ollie Burton, interviewed there, was an excellent player.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted August 20, 2013 The thing that stood out in that was the closeness of the crowd to the pitch and the fantastic atmospheres generated by having the crowd so close to the pitch - all the way round. Intimidating for away teams and great for us to be so close to the action. The sanitised world we live in now is at the expense of more basic experience - maybe we should start a campaign for real football - it worked for CAMRA, after all......................unless you preferred Watney''s Red Barrel, of course [:S] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
