This weekend we celebrate the anniversary of Norwich Ladies' historic FA Cup win in 1986, as they defeated Doncaster Belles 4-3 to win the club's first trophy following its founding four years earlier.
The ladies team, as they were formerly known, was founded in 1982 by manager Maureen Martin (nee Reynolds).
Her squad boasted several England internationals, including Martin herself during her own playing days.
Monday, May 4 marks 40 years since the match took place at Carrow Road and history was ultimately made.
Former captain and Lioness Linda Curl led the team to victory in the tournament, narrowly beating Aylesbury 1-0 in the semi-final and picking up a 12-0 win against Spurs in the quarters.
Curl is a name known by many in the local area, having been a sportswoman of immense talent, even after her return to Norfolk.
Before she hung up her boots for good, Curl's journey with the 'Fledglings', as Martin dubbed them, started after her former team Lowestoft Ladies disbanded.
The striker settled into life in Norwich immediately, as Norwich Ladies dominated the East Anglian League and Chiltern League in their first two seasons.
In one league fixture, Curl and the team beat MK Dons Reserves 40-0, netting 22 of the goals herself.
Although that is not a match she looks back on particularly fondly, the FA Cup win certainly is.
"Donny Belles, as they were known back then, had been champions so many times, so they were the team to beat.
"We were the underdogs."
The previous champions ended up lifting this particular trophy six times and at the time were the country's top team.
"It was a cracking football match; I think most people who came to watch were surprised by the standard.
"We wanted to win it so much.
"After I opened the scoring, Spike (Miranda Colk) scored an absolute cracker.
"She was a left-back, she wasn't a goalscorer!"
Norwich had gone ahead early but then fell behind after two goals from the visitors.
Miranda Colk and Sallie Jackson put Martin's side back in front, until they were pegged back to 3-3 with five minutes to go.
Norwich left it until late to net the winner, Marianne Lawrence scoring in injury time to secure the trophy.
"It was a really special occasion anyway, being at Carrow Road.
"Donny Belles were impressed by the top ground; back in those days you wouldn't get anything like this in a normal league game.
"I had all my family there; even my elderly grandmother came along to watch.
"It really was just something else, to be captain and go and collect that trophy at Carrow Road."
The FA Cup was just the start for the now-retired police officer, as Curl and Martin led their team to a historic treble, adding the League Winners' Cup and League Cup to their trophy cabinet that same year.
However, an era ended following the 1986/87 season when Martin stepped down from her position at the helm and no successor could be found, so the original winning side disbanded.
It wasn't until 1989 that the team was revived under the name 'The Canary Racers' in Attleborough, eventually officially returning to the Norwich City name in 2001.
