This is such a brilliant video - thank you! It reminds me of my earliest NCFC memory - at the Norwich cathedral carol service - Christmas 1971, sandwiched between my dad and my PE teacher. I remember being surprised at hearing them both singing ‘David Cross, David Cross’, instead of ‘Noel Noel’!
Do you know I can remember that Paddon goal against Blackpool at 01:50. This was my first ever football match at 11 yrs old standing in front of a barrier on a collapsible fishing stool at the then open terrace River End......never forgot that 5-1 score.
My first ever game at Carrow Road at 30.00 the 2-0 win over Hull City. It's strange to think that many NCFC supporters today may have never stood up watching a game at Carrow Road ! Mind you, the pitch surface has improved a bit since then.
I'm not a Norwich fan, but still, this is an interesting video, chronicling Norwich's first-ever promotion to The (old) First Division. It was maybe a bit ironic that Norwich should have sealed The Second Division title with a point at Watford, who were of course heading in the opposite direction. But then ten years hence in season 1981-82, both Norwich and Watford would gain promotion to The First Division, Norwich making an immediate return after suffering relegation at the end of the previous season, while for Watford, they emulated Norwich's feat of 1972, by gaining promotion to the top flight for the first-time ever. Funny how these things pan out!
Big Duncan. My favourite back then and my favourite now.
