Norwich v Tottenham May 8th 1920 Charity cup

[thfcbasil]

I have been lucky to pick up this programme and wonder if it could be Norwichs last game as a non league club.
Norwich entered the football league in 1920/21.
Does anybody have any further information. I have looked up various sites and know the club were reformed in 1917.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks Cliff

Yes, it was Norwich's last first-team match as a non-league club. A couple of reserve-team friendlies followed.
BTW, a medal presented to a Norwich player in the Tottenham game - both teams received the same medals irrespective of the result - was sold at Graham Budd Auctions last year and went for a much-higher-than-expected £1,500 plus commission.

Thank you.
Have you got any idea of what it may fetch on the open market or at auction?

Can only comment on programme prices from an NCFC perspective... frankly who knows these days? There's still a couple of City collectors out there prepared to spend big on pre-war issues, so maybe £300-400 on a good day if they need them, but programmes from around that time are so flimsy that I can't see them as a good mid-long term investment myself. (As demonstrated by the poor condition of the other Hospital Cup issues being sold on Ebay.) Presumably there are many more serious THFC collectors out there to inflate that potential figure.
