Sounds like different things pop into your mind all the time but, in this case, you " never recall " it being called the Supporters Stand. [:D] I''m just teasing you. You have an excellent sense of recall. These days, there is not much recall going on in my mind at all, however and despite that, my first match was in 1950 and I can state, quite emphatically, that neither I nor those I attended with ever referred to it as the "Supporters Stand."

I think it was probably in recognition of a donation from the old supporters club. Like you Yankee, I''ve been amazed at Ricardo''s recollections of the past, particularly when he put so many names to faces in that 1948 photo. It seems we have the 2013 PinkUn version of Leslie Welch. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted October 4, 2013 Can anyone remember Horace Batchellor with his "famous Infra-Draw Method" to increase your chances of winning the pools? Stakes had to be sent to "Horace Batchelor, Department One, Keynsham, spelt K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M, Keynsham, Bristol". [:D]I wonder if anyone got rich from it (apart from Horace).

vos 155 Posted October 4, 2013 [quote user="City1st"]just as with attending football matches, it can mean having to rub shoulders with the ''lower orders'' .... and be subject to their sometimes rather coarse vulgarities - a sad fact of some having had little decent educationfor my own part I was brought up at Etonsadly some on here sound as if the were eaten and brought upanyway back to Newmarket Road, it must have been a helluva shock to move from the open spaces of that ground to what was no more than a levelled pitand you have to wonder if the club did not attract a new set of supporters given it''s new location, not all but a fair few given how it was now ''on the doorstep'' for far more[/quote] I take it you mean Eaton !!!!!

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted October 4, 2013 OK, if we''re admitting to who owned a snake belt...I had one too. In fact nearly every primary school lad I knew had one in the late 60''s/early 70''s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted October 4, 2013 In my ignorance, I never knew Norwich played anywhere else apart from the Nest. My partner''s great granddad was playing for Norwich back in 1927; midfielder Joe Richmond. Don''t know much about him to be frank - perhaps I should do some research?http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19270126 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted October 4, 2013 Wow - it seems Joe Richmond was a bit handy in the Number 9 shirt for Leeds United before he arrived here: http://www.leeds-fans.org.uk/leeds/players/333.html19 goals in 56 games puts him in Becchio territory doesn''t it?

Bill 1,788 Posted October 4, 2013 [quote user="City1st"]last try [/quote]Ricardo reckons - ''The Pic is 1925/26'' which I presume is that season if not and it is after July 1926 then Joe Richmond is on there albeit about face, as the pic has been ''flipped''however you can see him here -he''s in the middle ..seated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,557 Posted October 4, 2013 Played 130 games and scored 9 goals Mustard. He''s in my book :) Flight Sergeant in the RAF and awarded French Militaire! He also won a second division medal with Leeds. He was a "utility player" who could play in defence or attack. He was the 5th player to score a league hat-trick for us against Watford 18/04/1927. But he ended up playing fullback in partnership with Joe Hannah. He later kept the Quebec Tavern[B] Your partner is from good stock buddy[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted October 4, 2013 Here we are Mr Mustard - Joe Richmond Centre Forward Born: Leasingthorpe, Nr Durham: 26-02-1897 Debut: Wolverhampton Wanderers (a): 09-12-1922 5’11” 11st 10lb (1925) A Durham Schools representative player, he played for Sittingbourne before serving with the Royal Flying Corps as a flight-sergeant in World War War One, winning the French Medal Militaire. In March 1922 he signed for Shildon Athletic from where he joined Leeds in December 1922 when he was twenty-five. Although he was fairly inexperienced, Richmond led the Leeds 1923-24 promotion side side with panache and vigour, scoring fifteen goals in thirty-five League games. In the top flight he struggled to reproduce his form of the Second Division Championship winning season. He gave way to Jack Thom for a short while but both were were pushed aside as the new goalscoring sensation, Tom Jennings, forced his way into the team. He moved to Second Division Barnsley in February 1926 and found it more to his liking scoring five times in thirteen League games but in July that year he went to Norwich, where he made a successful transition to left-back before retiring in 1930. He made one hundred and twenty-four League appearances, scoring nine goals, mostly while he was in the forwards. After World War Two he coached Letchworth Town and then became a publican, running the Quebec Tavern and the Beaufort Arms in Norwich. He died in Norwich on 6th March 1953.
