Not without him sitting to my left for home games.

My Dad, younger brother and me used to stand in the South Stand, on the half way line. I can vividly remember the comments from the old timers as us youngsters pushed our way to the front, most of it jovial (those really were the days). He always loved Chris as a broadcaster but his City commentaries have, in Dad’s eyes, taken him into legend territory). It’s a tale I’ve told before, so apologies if this feels like an ITV2 repeat, but it was when I was in the early years of primary school that Dad took me to my first few games, initially, by way of a trial run, to some reserve team games. He took Mum to Stamford Bridge to see the boys hammered in the FA Cup, Mum still remembers that, at 85, as the most frightening experience of her whole life, and she lived through the war! My dad was taken from us in his early 40’s, following a battle against lung cancer, but not before we had enjoyed Carrow Road, and also the odd trip to away games as well.To most, there would have been nothing remarkable about the sight of a little grey-haired man slowly making his way to the exit a couple of minutes early. But I can still picture it. As usual, that moment came around the 88-minute mark (to avoid the “bedlam” of the departing masses) but, unfortunately, there was no final glance pitchward before he moved carefully and deliberately down those River End steps. Guinness brewers were the first to introduce the combination of nitrogen and carbon dioxide to draught beer. The result was Guinness Draught, famous for its smooth velvety texture and unique surge and settle. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is a beer like no other. It’s a beer of substance, the most full-flavoured of all. Singular and striking. Uniquely satisfying. Brewed with extra hops and roasted barley for a natural bite. This is a beer for those who seek a bolder taste, for those who want to be more and do more in life. For those who are truly MADE OF MORE.

It’s with still-misty eyes he tells the tale of that first Carrow Road visit, accompanied by his own dad, Walter, his older brother Fred, and another Fred, his uncle – aka the driver.

Flavour Profile

As well as being Dad’s first sight and sound of the old place – then not-so-old – it was the club’s first competitive game after the end of World War Two. The record books tell us there were 20,677 others in the ground that afternoon other than my dad. Like most of them, he was hooked. Break through the smooth, creamy head to reveal the bittersweet reward. Unmistakable, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop, and every deep, dark, satisfying mouthful in between. Guinness Draught is the perfect accompaniment to good food. Good friends. And good times. Guinness.

We were, as a family, at Watford on the day promotion was gained to the First Division. It rained and the City fans, who were in the unsheltered end behind the goal, decided enough was enough, and charged the length of the pitch to seek shelter at the other end. We’ve cheered together, celebrated together, agonised together, mourned together, as some of our beloved Carrow Road neighbours and friends have left us and, of course, done that most River End of things… moaned together. Thanks Gary. My first visit to the Carra was when I was staying at my Uncle Walter’s in Little Plumstead. We cycled in and left the bikes (3d each I think) in the safe keeping of someone who lived next to the railway bridge at the Barclay end. I can’t remember who we played, but Johnny Gavin scored with a diving header at the Barclay end, and I was hooked. I’d never been in a crowd like that, my only football matches having been to watch Cromer at Cabell Park with my dad, who like Alex B’s dad drowned when his crab boat foundered off Cromer when I was 8. My Carra visit was when I was about 12.

Football afternoons that followed tended to be just him and Walter and followed a routine: catch the Halesworth to Norwich bus in the morning, go the old cattle market, watch and listen as Walter (a farm steward) traded to his heart’s content, and then to Vellore Bros for fish and chips for lunch. It was then, finally, with hope in their hearts and battered plaice in their stomachs that they headed down to Carrow Road. For a few seasons, it was there we stood; close enough to hear profanities from the pitch and see first-hand the misdemeanours of the away fans, with Dad directly behind me just in case there was a crowd surge. Well, because over seven decades on from said awakening, COVID-19 looks like it may have prematurely ended what Dad had decided would be his final season as a Carrow Road regular. A love story 74 years in the making looks like it drew to a close when he left that green plastic seat and departed the ground at the end of the 1-0 win vs Bournemouth.

Nigeria has been brewing Guinness at its Ikeja factory since 1962 and is now the second largest consumer of Guinness in the world. Guinness Nigeria's recipe includes locally sourced maize and sorghum following a government ban on the importation of malted barley in the 1980s. Such ingredients are said to give Guinness Nigeria its uniquely bitter and sweet taste. The sweetness of the malt perfectly balances the bitterness of the hops which are both beautifully complimented by the characteristic flavour of our Guinness roasted barley The introduction of those infamous red and blue seats – apparently no green and yellow ones were available at the time – meant we had to move and there was no way he was taking me anywhere near those ‘Herberts’ in the Barclay. So to the al fresco setting of the River End we headed with, again, the edge of the penalty area as our landmark; the South Stand side, two barriers from the front to be precise. Famous for its smooth velvety texture and unique surge and settle. This is our greatest innovation. Truly unique. Perfectly balanced. Made of More.

Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. And there we stayed, throughout its various incarnations including that odd concept known as seating, interrupted only by a time when I too was playing football on Saturday afternoons and attending midweek games with mates, including a period when home was with those Herbets in the Barclay. Of course, none of us knows what the next few months will bring but even if we all make it out the other side, Carrow Road, in the medium-term, will be no place for an 85-year-old with COPD. And he knows it.
