Had a few people ask where Facters has been lately, so gave him a shout. All fine, just having a bit of a break at the moment.

Dubious additional honour
at 17:24 4 Jun 2025

The latest in a series of occasional posts regarding trophies and awards Town figures have won outside of football, previously Oscars, the Schneider Trophy and a Nobel Prize have been added to our alternative trophy cabinet.

So, in addition to Oscars and a Nobel Prize... by PhilTWTD 11 Apr 2022 15:43
...as per the thread below we can add the Schneider Trophy. Surely no other club has had a Schneider Trophy winner play for them as revealed (to me at least) in this blog:

Now I've learnt former director Nat Shaw won the Waterloo Cup, which essentially seems to have been the FA Cup in hare-coursing, which thankfully no longer takes place. Still, as unpalatable as it is, a footnote in history.

I think someone said they knew Nat Shaw on here a while back. I was looking into him as he organised the boxing in 1946 I did a story on yesterday.

He was on the board of Town from 1936 when the club went professional until his death in 1969. He ran the greyhound stadium in London Road and had clothing shops in Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and elsewhere.

Bit more info on him here if anyone's interested:
