Cardiff City 1949/50

[Cyncoed Slumdog]

I didn’t know they had a small stand between the Grange End and the grandstand enclosure.

That was used as a press box.

A great film and great to see some of the players who played in my first City match in 1950 against Manchester City. The score in the match was 1-1 and Elfed Evans scored for the City. Man City had Bert Trautmann in goal, with Welsh internationals Roy Paul and Roy Clarke also in the team. Needless to say I was hooked, and I am still a season ticket holder.
City layers I picked out from the film included Alf Sherwood, Stan Montgomery, Ken Hollyman, Billy Baker, Roley Williams, and goalkeeper Phil Joslin, who unfortunately broke his ankle in a warm up match before the 1951/52 season, and never played again. I remember seeing a photo of his ankle in the Football Echo and his feet were pointing 180 degrees in the wrong direction.
Thanks again for the film.
