An amateur film by Victor Sidney Carman showing the FA Cup being paraded around St James Park by Joe Harvey and the victorious Newcastle United following their 1952 victory over Arsenal. Shot from a position close to the pitch the film shows huge crowds crammed in the surrounding stands. The team mascot dressed in his long striped jacket keeps the crowds excited by clapping. They erupt in excitement as the cup is seen being carried around the edge of the pitch. The film ends with views of speeches being made from a platform built into one of the stands which is seen being filmed by a number of camera crews. Title: City Productions Presents The film begins with a view of the FA Cup final programme beside a ticket hanging from a board by pins. One of the pins is in the shape of the FA Cup. Title: The Home Coming From a stand inside St James Park near to the touchline a general view shows large crowds filling all the surrounding stands. Two young boys and a girl run along the touchline of the pitch. The film cuts to show the team mascot dressed in his distinctive black and white striped suit walking past the camera spinning a ratchet or noise-maker. As he passes, writing on the back of his jacket can be seen the slogan which reads ‘Howay United’. He waves his arms in air at the crowds getting them excited. The film quickly cuts to show Joe Harvey, Newcastle United captain walking around the edge of the pitch moving towards the camera holding up the FA Cup. As he walks past the crowds nearby begin to leap and clap for joy. Arms wave in front of the camera as Joe Harvey with the cup walks past only a few feet away. Behind him are the rest of the team who are smiling and waving at the crowds. Behind them come a marching brass band. Crowds turn and face a platform built half-way in the stands where the Newcastle United team are seated beside the FA Cup. A man gives a speech to the crowd. Rattles, scarfs and flags are waved by a number in the crowd and a number of film cameras are seen recording the event on the platform. The film ends with views of the crowds looking up watching the team on the platform. Title: The end.
