I was coming up to my 5th birthday and it was a couple of years before getting my first season ticket with Mum and Dad, but I still recall every name. This is the first time I have ever seen this game and it has put a proper smile on my face. Thank you for posting.😁
as a Norwich fan these players are still talked about and I remember these games and when players got on with playing no play acting no over celebrating .Very simple and good times
Good point- so often players are solely interested in 'their ' dance moves after scoring . Though it still looks strange seeing Ted Mcdougal not on the score sheet ,when NC got 3 goals. Martin Peters was a great buy that season .
I am a Portsmouth supporter and was there that day. I believe Norwich have been promoted three times at Portsmouth, this game, 1-0 Simeon Jackson and one other occasion. Anyone remember when?
Superb win! I was a 17 year old Villa fanatic and saw that 2-0 home win v Sunderland, crowd 57,000,..about 12,000 were visiting Mackems hoping to oust you from 3rd spot. Brilliant fans,...not a peep out of them...red and white everywhere.
I remember that the Villa players wanted the Goalkeeper to take a penalty- I think all the outfield players had scored that season ( fortunately(?) he didn't take it)
Yes Villa ( & Man Utd) were already promoted & it was Norwich or Sunderland for the 3rd place ( previous only 2 went up) ....a few days later the season finished with Villa winning 4-1 at Carrow rd ....
Maybe the game should have been ticket only to keep the crowds segregated if Norwich fans were stood on three sides of the ground? Fenced off zones had not yet been widely deployed in those far off days tbh. Scary scenes, did you wear your Canaries scarf David?
Yes. I was pretty naive in those days. I traveled alone from London and got to the ground early. I spent 2-3 hours playing darts with Portsmouth supporters in the pub opposite with my Norwich scarf hanging out of my pocket
@@dbranch9 Probably a decent sort in the pub but as soon as you step outside, you could bump into the louts. Even 5-6 years previously, the skinheads era, it was policy to ''diplomatically'' hide your scarf as a visiting fan.
At the time a lot of grounds didn't have rigid home & away sections - & some stands could be sort of neutral areas - in the bigger games at Norwich notice how many Man Utd, Liverpool, ipswich fans stood in the River end - a 'home stand' ..

74/75 was the period I started going to Carrow Road. Great times.

Remember it as a 14 year old ,just before the long hot summer of 75.
And an even hotter summer the next year !
