December 28th 1968, Cardiff City 3-0 Hull City (Toshack, Clark & King ~ I think)

It was the original Hull stub game as City were playing Arsenal in the FA Cup a few days later and my uncle took me to the Hull game to get the tickets.

That was it, hook, line & sinker!

I've no idea how many games I've been to since but it must be around 1200. I nearly reached the 92 but "new" sides like Morecambe & Fleetwood have taken me back to 85! I had 6 season tickets at one time but kids have grown & moved on, so there's only 2 of us now. I added the cost up once and it's north of £30k!

Earlier in the year my wife said what would you like for Xmas, I said, I'd love to do a Hospitality package for the nearest game to my 50th Anniversary, then the fixtures came out & we have Man Ure, so priced out of the market! Never mind, maybe Huddersfield.

That first team will forever be my hero's. TOBW will put me right but I think the team on the day was,
Davies
Bell
Carver
Harris
Murray
Bird
King
Lea
Sutton
Clark
Toshack

maybe these guys were around on the day as well
Coldrick
Phillips
Jones
Derrett

help me out here Paul

I won't make another 50 years but here's hoping for a few more anyway!
