As everything is a bit quiet atm with regard to all things NCFC I thought I'd start a kind of 'off topic' thread.

I was sorting out my loft last weekend, well that was the intention anyway, but as soon as I found the cardboard boxes containing NCFC memorabilia I came to an abrupt halt. As I sifted through the contents of each box I was amazed at some of the stuff I had collected through the years and also the stuff that my dear old Dad had given to me when I was a kid. Match programmes dating back to the 1930's, photographs, scarves, pennants, scrapbooks, flags, pin badges, replica shirts and literally hundreds of copies of the old Pink Un newspapers !

Some of the more treasured items I found which might even be quite valuable even though I'd never sell were:

  • An NCFC 'Pilch' yellow and green leather football, as new, never been kicked.
  • Complete set of individual black & white photos of the '59ers also individually personally signed (I've mentioned these before on here I know)
  • Complete set of 1959 FA Cup run match programmes, home and away.
  • Complete set of 1959 FA Cup run match day ticket stubs.
In fact the semi-final 2nd leg ticket is complete as it was never used, my father's boss wouldn't let him have the time off work ! Dad still blames his boss for our semi-final loss because he never attended the game.
  • Complete set of Pink Un newspapers from 1959
  • Wooden football rattle taken to said Cup matches.
  • Complete set of player autographs from 1971-72 (2nd Division Champions)
  • Vinyl LP recording of the 1985 Milk Cup final with Roy Waller and Duncan Forbes
  • Flag purchased outside Wembley Stadium in 1985
  • Commemorative mug from our European season, still in original box, never been taken out.
..........and the match day programme from the first ever game played at Carrow Road against West Ham !

Has anybody else got any interesting bits and pieces ? Doesn't have to be NCFC related.
 
You do love your 'history' don't you KIO?:)

When I was at the UEA in the early 90's one of my Budgie mates bought me a 'Chase Out' mug for my birthday, I used it as a pen/pencil holder, lost it in the mists of time...

You love your history that much mate that you could easily be one of us...sometimes I wonder if you might have been born the wrong side of the border. ;)

How many weeks is it since you last posted on our board Welly? Or any of your blue brethren?

I think that the last time that I posted on your board was in answer to a post from Cromer banging on about flares and smoke bombs and the like at football, I defended the Norwich lad involved, innocent until proven guilty, the Golden Thread that runs through our justice system and all that...Cromer just saw it as an opportunity to have a pop, I haven't really bothered since then.

It was at that moment that I realized that I was discussing the subject matter with either (a) an idiot, or (b) some Norwich **** who was so partisan that he would never agree with an Ipswich fan under any circumstances...

You'd be good if you sorted yourself out.

Probably (a) Welly. I was born and raised in Norfolk, so that may well account for it. Plus I will - and do give credit where credit is due to rival fans as and when it's warranted. Football, cricket, life in general.....

I was interested in reading what others had stashed away that they valued but this is another thread ruined unless we get back on track

Doubly irritated perhaps!

But you offer nothing to the thread except your irritation, even I offered up my long lamented 'Chase Out' mug and got a **** mug to replace it off the wum gandy...<laugh>

Anyway, the cricket should start again soon, let's hope that the Steelbacks lad does well...

I've still got a 1990 Stenhousemuir training top if that interests anyone!

I've got two Valencia tops, one home and one away, also from the 90s.

I 'adopted' them as my Spanish team, having been to their mental March fiesta three times.

I used to buy and wear truly awful football strips when playing five a side. Highlights were a Palace shirt with squirly Eagles on it in white and a black Derby away kit with what looked like random chalk marks! Scared and made the opposition queasy in equal measure!
