Carrow Road September 1969.  

Charlton have been awarded a 82nd minute penalty.

Cushions are thrown on the pitch, one of which Theo Foley throws back into the crowd, leading to abuse of Theo. The police escort Foley away "for his own safety". 

From the Tom Morris archive now held in the museum.

Tom's ashes were spread at the memorial garden at Valley last week.

The museum is open tomorrow (Friday) 11 to 2.30 and Saturday (19th from 11 to 1.00)

Be aware.  The lift is broken (again) so be prepared for a walk up three floors.

    Alan Campbell slotted home the penalty but Norwich equalised two minutes later and the game ended 1 - 1.

    Notice how few players there are on the edge of the penalty area waiting for a rebound or to clear the ball.

    Blimey, Katriens sofa could have been remodelled as an offensive weapon, maybe she was on to something after all.

    I'd be annoyed too if we somehow managed to give away 81 penalties in a single game!

    I was at this game. The penalty was awarded when Keelan the Naridge keeper kicked the ball up field then booted Treacy up the arse luckily the ref spotted it and gave a penalty that’s why the crowd went mad. Today he’d have been sent off.
    I left the ground then and missed the equilizer.

    Always remember when Norwich game was on the Big Match the camera angle was from one end of the ground.
