Wallystreet Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 The Hotspurs play against West Ham - British Pathé (britishpathe.com) The very end of this includes the players emerging from the tunnel, City vs Cardiff City. Seems like it's from the 3rd round of the FA cup in 1919/20. A 2-1 win on 21/02/1920. Eventually lost 2-1 in the semi final to Huddersfield. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 There was film of the 1909 Cup Final. This was still being shown in 1934 in local cinemas to mark the 25th anniversary of the event. But this film, presented to the City Council and kept at the Central Library, became a victim of the blitz. What happened to the copy presented to Manchester I don't know, but because it was on volatile nitrate stock I assume at some stage it self combusted or simply deteriorated beyond repair. The 1920 semi final v Huddersfield was filmed and I seen highlights at David Woods home. Iirc another early surviving film of Bristol City is of a match in the early 1920s at Clapton Orient attended, I believe, by the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII. But this one is definitely up there with the earliest. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that the camera man obviously thought it was time for a lie down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Central Library holds film of our FA Cup semi-final against Huddersfield in 1920. I've a copy on my phone. Total running time is under 1 minute - about 30 seconds of action, shot from behind one goal, a few bits of City attacking, then defending, none of the goals captured. Finishes with 10 seconds of all the chaps going down the tunnel at the final whistle, including a shot of Wedlock congratulating an opponent - they're right, he wasn't tall ! He retired the following season aged 40 so this was very much his last hurrah. @handsofclay - Is this the film you've seen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) Well that was a err "topsy turvy" game wasn't it? The cameraman must have had a few pints of rough! Also, people moan about goalkeepers getting too much protection today, but some of those challenges must have been borderline even then. They were just throwing themselves at him at times.

Dazy07 Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) This is amazing. My great grandfather played for the club between 1907 and 1920.

Tomo Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I remember having a video/dvd of all the late 70's footage (filmed by the club via Jonathan Pearce and his Dad). God knows where it is now. Probably in the loft somewhere. Surprised it's not available on YouTube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
