Thread: What was your first live game

  1. #1

    What was your first live game

    Mine was way back on a cold snowy November afternoon in 1971. As a seven year old with my Arsenal rosette on I cheered when Ray Kennedy scored a screamer in the first half at Molineux and cried in the second half when Dave Wagstaffe and Derek Dougan ran riot as Wolves scored five and won 5-1. All these years later I still have fond memories of this game.

    Cardiff v Millwall approx 1972 / 73.

    Taken by my uncle on the back of his scooter.

    My grandad took my to see City v Wycombe in the FA Cup in 1976 and later that year I saw City v Tblisi by myself. I was 10.

    Torquay home about 95/96ish, they wore our away kit because they forgot their kit.
    Boxing Day as well, remember being freezing and wanting to go home and play with my presents and my dad wouldn't let up.
    We beat them 2-0, Deon Burton with 2.

    Was either a 5-0 win over Oxford or a 1-1 draw (I think) with Portsmouth around 72/73. My heart says it was Oxford but my head is swaying to Pompey

    My old man would take me to watch Merthyr when he wasn’t playing local league.

    Had been watching Merthyr for 2/3 years before the Newport, 87 Welsh Cup final. I was 10.

    I was 15 first City game. Away to Hereford 1992. Followers by Burnley, league leaders, lost 2-0, but 16k there and Bob Bank was rocking.

    I was hooked.

    Sheffield United, September 1961. 1-1 draw. Dai Ward scored for us, I think.

    Brighton at home in 75/76.
    My dad was a copper so had a word with someone on duty on the day and let us through the gate without paying.
    We lost 1-0.

    1-0 win over Northampton in October 63 - Mel Charles scored, I really got hooked though when I went to my first floodlit match at the end of the 63/64 season, Bangor City in the Second Leg of the Welsh Cup Final!

    No wonder we got relegated, no money for transfers!

    City vs Blackburn, 1970-71 season.
    We won 4-1, (Clarkie scored 2, King and Woodruff the others. Superb game, hooked ever since.
    By coincidence, it was the first home game after a certain player was sold.
    "Toshack is a reject" was the chant of the day.

    The thing I remember most is seeing the colour of the opposition jerseys for the first time. It got old hat after a while though, once you got used to them.

    Yeah, as I said I remember being at ‘Boro game but couldn’t say it was my first . I don’t know if it was Peter King’s goals or City throwing away a 3-1 lead that day but that is the first memory. After that I went regularly and that was our best season ( although I didn’t know that at the time it would take almost 50 years to match the level our team was at !) until we started this run of play off, FA Cup,League Cup and promotion to Premier League.
