It looks like the only thing he could save was some cold game pie for high tea washed down with 10 pints of Winkles Old Thrumper ale. They are Billy George and Arthur Cartlidge. Appearances can be deceptive! Billy played for us 401 times and won 3 England caps. Arthur played 55 games for us between the sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the crooked house in himley Dudley. It is The Lord Mayor of Birmingham's Charity Cup. We won it 30 times. It does look bent doesn't it? It doesn't in earlier and subsequent pictures taken of it in Villa team photographs though. We held the trophy from 1903 to 1912, other than in 1907 & 1908, when SHA took care of it. To quote Father Ted, "Tom, do you know the phrase 'To take care of something'? Well, I realise now that you meant that in a sort of Al Pacino way. Whereas I was thinking more along the lines of Julie Andrews." I guess we probably did the decent thing and had it repaired after they had "taken care of it". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 we should easily smash these records with the players we have and the division we are in. rEmemeber even the much maligned Neil Taylor is a full international with many caps. one to fifteen we piss on all the other teams squads including norwich and leeds. Only injuries have stopped us adding the championship championship to our many trophy cabinets. we only need to change up a gear for 10 mins and it's game over. I fear none of them. no one can live with us. ping it around with arrogance. get those collars up. get the swagger on. lets smash this record and in 100 years we can take the piss out of mings haircut and jacks beard. poor fat keeper getting rinsed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it isn't sat properly on the wooden base causing it to lean at an angle although it wouldn't be the first trophy to get bent/broken over the years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lord Mayor of Birmingham's Charity Cup ?? Don't think so - it bears a damn good likeness to the English Football League Trophy. And as you can see - it is meant to look like that due to the posed figurine on top. The picture was undoubtedly of the double season team - hence the number of officials in the pic. And the number of trophies Edited April 21, 2019 by SirSteveUK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
