[quote user="lappinitup"][quote user="ricardo"]I think the other defender is Ian King. The scorers for Leicester were Gibson and Stringfellow and I seem to recall the goals being scored at the Barclay End[/quote]Is the guy further up the pitch Stringfellow Ricky?[/quote]

 

Not even Peter Stringfellow...Mike Stringfellow had a pretty stringy frame and less of a short back and sides than that chap, who looks more like a defender or midfielder.

It''s funny how facts and figures stick in your mind. Strangely, things from 50 yrs ago are clearer to me than stuff from 5 or 10 yrs back.

It''s Norwich City versus another team at Carrow Road. In the 1960s. So in the old Division Two, assuming - for the moment - it''s a league match. The only NCFC player in view is, I believe, Scottish. It certainly looks like a particular player from that era. We still used black shorts for several of those seasons. As to the other team I may be missing something but I cannot see any clues. The shirts could be red or blue, but there is no visible crest. However one of the opposition players (the middle one) does actually look like another Scottish player. I won''t name him, but if so then possibly this was not a league match, but a cup encounter, with the opposition wearing red or blue. At which I was, like a few others, in attendance. And in which our NCFC Scottish player - if it is him - took part. But this all may be completely wrong.

Thats our Tommy Bryceland I think.

yep, it was the FA Cup quarter final against Leicesterthe huge crowd for a game in the 60''s should have given it away, as might the rings on the cuffs of the opposing team ... I think Leicester were the only one ones I can remember having themthe Leicester player heading the ball in OP pic is John Sjoberg#

Norwich City and Leicester were paired in the quarter-finals of the

1963 FA Cup, an eagerly-awaited tie for both clubs. After a severe

winter, player-manager Ron Ashman’s Canaries had stormed through three

rounds in the space of 13 days and were eager to make up for the

disappointment of their semi-final exit at the hands of Luton four years

earlier, while Matt Gillies’ team were hoping to go one better than

1961, when they had been beaten in the final by Double winners

Tottenham.

In the end, the match was an anti-climax with

first division Leicester winning 2-0, though a record gate of 43,984 and

receipts of £8,183 provided some consolation for the hosts.

Half-back Burton recalled: “Our FA Cup games were

all crammed into less than a month
. We had beaten Newcastle 5-0 in the

fourth round, which was the game where I was spotted and led to my move.

“The crowds were fantastic at Carrow Road and

there was a great atmosphere, with most people standing and I remember

how packed that River End terrace used to be.

“We had great expectations and we thought we

could beat Leicester at home but we lost 2-0 and Terry Allcock missed a

penalty. It was a day when nothing seemed to go right. We had gone

through the rounds very quickly but it all came to a very abrupt end.”

Burton missed only one game all season for City,

and still looks back with regret about their quarter-final exit as goals

from Mike Stringfellow and Dave Gibson put Leicester through.

“Ron Ashman was playing centre-half at the time

and wanted to play there, but I remember saying that I wanted to play

there because I just felt I was a little bit taller than Ron,” he

recalled.

“Ron was a great servant but I had the legs and

had youth on my side, and I think I might have been better able to deal

with Stringfellow.”

The match was decided in the second half. First a

certain Gordon Banks, in goal for Leicester, denied Tommy Bryceland when

he turned his shot on to the post. Soon after, Stringfellow headed the

first goal from Howard Riley’s cross, Gibson adding the second before

the Canaries spurned a lifeline 12 minutes from time. John Sjoberg

handled Bryceland’s header on the line, but Allcock fired the penalty

harmlessly high.

The Evening News report of the day singled out

Burton’s opposite No 4, McLintock, “whose second-half mastery had much

to do with Leicester eventually deserving victory”.

The man himself can remember little of the detail

of the match, admitting: “When you play about 730 games in your career,

quite a few get lost in the memory.

“But Stringfellow and Gibson were a brilliant

pair. I remember after we beat Norwich, Stringfellow scored in the

semi-final with a header from 18 yards and after that Liverpool battered

us, but Banks kept them out. I remember one save from Ian St John that

was better than the one from Pele.

“He was one of the greatest goalkeepers ever and I

was very fortunate to have Gordon behind me at Leicester, then Bob

Wilson at Arsenal and then, when I went to Queens Park Rangers, Phil

Parkes for four years.”

But McLintock and Leicester suffered their second Wembley defeat in three seasons when Manchester United won 3-1.

“We felt for our fans. We felt we had let

everyone down,” he said. “We reached two FA Cup finals in three years

and for a club like Leicester that was fantastic. We had a fantastic

team and we were going for the double that season while United were down

near the bottom and struggling. But we never competed that day, we were

a disgrace.”

I claim the most tenuous story though Nutty!

It does remind of the time I was in Mexico and ordered a ''Coca Cola'' and got given Cornflakes with chopped bananas on.
