Norwich's two League Cup winning seasons
Norwich won the League Cup in 1961/62 and again in 1984/85. The club also finished runners-up in 1972/73 and 1974/75. Those season labels are useful when searching an archive: the year of a final is the second year of the campaign, so the 1985 triumph belongs under 1984/85.
The second title came in an unusual season. Norwich lifted the cup but were also relegated from the top division in 1985. A cup honour and a difficult league finish can both be true, and the club's record should preserve that distinction rather than use one to overwrite the other.
This page follows the cup competition. Its results answer who Norwich faced and how each tie ended; they do not form a league table. For the older campaigns, the linked history record offers a season-by-season route into the results rather than a list of honours detached from their dates.
Mark Barham remembers the 1985 Wembley win
In a club interview marking the final's 40th anniversary, Mark Barham recalled the joy of being selected by Ken Brown. The Norwich youth product had endured a lengthy absence with a cruciate ligament injury and had not expected to play. His recollection brings a personal dimension to the 1–0 victory over Sunderland.
Barham also remembered the supporters, the celebrations back in Norwich and the friendly relationship between the two sets of fans. His account connects that Wembley afternoon with the Friendship Trophy meetings that followed. It is a useful reminder that the significance of a final can extend beyond the winning goal.
The article was published on 24 March 2025, but the match it describes took place in 1985. That distinction is particularly helpful when an anniversary feature appears in a new search result: its publication date does not make it a report of a current Norwich fixture.
