22A Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/norwich-remembers-norman-wisdom-1-674030 But while he was a hit all over the world, nowhere more so than Albania, it was in Norwich that he brought down the curtain on his glorious stage career. Back in October 2004 Sir Norman entertained a theatre audience for the final time as he played to a full house at the Theatre Royal just a few days after his announcement that he was to quit the showbiz when he reached 90 in February 2005.

However I believe the word iron could also be the answer. Please correct if wrong, but I think Middlesbough were once named Middlesbrough Ironopolis whilst Newport were nick named The Ironsides?

22A Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 OK, I was half right. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newport_County/Newport_County.htm Newport; This association with heavy industry led to their original nickname of the "Ironsides." http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Middlesbrough/Middlesbrough.htm Middlesbrough remained firmly committed to amateurism and as a result, a faction of the club broke away to form Middlesbrough Ironopolis in 1889.

Norn Iron Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Is the connection then Emu? Emu and Rod (Hull) made a 7" single for the blue and white quarters. Emu thinks it's an ostrich. Rovers are an ostrich; burying its head in the sand is one of its attributes hoping all problems will go away (apparently a myth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading though this thread the best I can come up with is that neither Blackburn or Norman Wisdom has a transporter bridge. Norman had. He was a huge fan of classic engineering and had one installed on his Isle Of Man estate. Him and Rick Wakeman used to play on it on a Sunday. After he died Reading Council tried to buy it to put it across the Thames as a tribute but couldn`t raise the cash. As far as I know it`s still there. Not many people know this story.
