...my memory of such detail is useless, Degsy. I was in Seat A81 of the Gwladys St stand for most of the 60s and early 70s, be a good speck these days.

..I remember that. Mark Farrington never came through at Everton but Norwich actually signed him.

Did this final go to three games? I know Norwich won the trophy, Farrington scored in those games and you are correct
Norwich did sign him. After the the game, which Norwich won, Jimmy ( Buddy) Coyle gave one of the Norwich players a
good seeing to in the tunnel, the lad had been a bit of a bully during the game, Jimmy gave him his version of a " Kirkby
Kiss".

I remember that game. Cracking atmosphere. My sister was at school with Stuart Rimmer. I think he ended up at Southport. Ian Marshall and Ian Bishop both went on to have very good careers. Jeremy Goss was in that cracking Norwich team that Mike Walker managed

The Nigerian team did play in 1949, they were on a tour, first Nigerian team to do so, their first game was against Marine
in Crosby, they won 5-2 before 6,000 spectators, they played nine teams in all, another game was versus South Liverpool in a 2-2 draw.

diamond probably got a booking for this and a warning from the ref not to do it againMerseyside Derby - Michael Thomas exchanging shirts with Graham Stuart in instalments.
This is my whole point, I was there, 1954, under lights, Vs a Nigerian team who played in bare feet on a cold November(?) Night
With all due respect Camo, because its on the internet and you checked it on the internet, given I saw what I saw...yeah and I know about 'young memories' and earliest recollections etc being sometimes as trustworth as 'old peoples' memories...
Also given that we have another personal 'fact' from @Methuselah
I would think some sort of Scottish type verdict of 'NotProven' subject to review and appeal might apply.
The truth is out there, or so they say.
They also say
'The truth will set you free', 'The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth'
And that old stand by...'The plain and simple Truth'
But Ive found the truth is hardly ever plain and as we see here, never ever simple*
*for a given value of truth
