    Because you are only 37 - you have already answered your own question.

      But this is Cardiff City and hence people remember it well.
      Mate wanted to go - would have meant mitching off pm, but couldn't pull it off with my folks. I can still remember at the end of the local BBC Wales news after the 9 o'clock news announcing the result. I can still remember it like yesterday.

          If you asked me what I had for breakfast yesterday, I probably couldn't tell you (short-term memory).

          However, I can remember being on a supporters bus back in the 70s approaching Chelsea's Stamford Bridge. I was sitting in a window seat and a Chelsea fan hurled a car hub cap at the window in front. Luckily, it didn't break the window, but I can remember the contorted look on the Chelsea fan's ugly mug just as vividly to this day.

          Okay, this a somewhat random, perhaps meaningless anecdote, but it shows how we can remember things that may seem irrelevant to others.
          Yeah, we all get that I suppose.

          Just seems like some people have photographic memories of decades ago, see posters on here mention multiple games from decades ago and they can remember where they stood in NP and passages of play etc. I can vaguely see chopras shot hitting the net against the jack's and the loud CHOPRAAAAAAAAAA on the TV but I've got no clue what happened the rest of the game or who I was with

            You're still trying are you.

            If I can't remember 20 years ago how are others having cinematic like memories from 50 years ago..

              I remember phoning a results service from a phone box in Llandaff North like it was yesterday. Like you said still suffer PTSD from that match.

              Ps can anyone remember the results line that I would have rung. It was something like teletext but on the phone.

                I remember fellow pupils from school, can put names to faces on old school photos, no bother, this is from the 60s. Yet lads I’ve worked with over the years, even recent years, have stopped me and spoken to me, reminded me where they’ve encountered me and I’ve left their company none the wiser. Memories of your childhood & youth seem much more vivid than they do as you age.

                  Last time there. Leo FW in the away end. We got battered for 80 mins and then a combination of the best thing that the Madine Fight Club did with us and Pilks delivered!

                    No idea but clearly loads of people can, just from this thread alone.

                    Maybe you should get medical help.

                      You are derailing the thread.

                      You are also, obviously, trying to goad me into some sort of reaction.

                      You probably have kids my age. Act like it.

                        It was a local number to ninian Park I think . I know that I was with a group around the phone box near the Leather Bottle, Pentrebane frantically putting money in to keep updated.
                        Gutted at the result as I thought we were going up and that's why still remember I spose .

                          I was eight and still remember my dad coming up to my bedroom to tell me the score. That sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, probably the first time I'd experienced it, followed by the tears!

                          Should have quit there and then, would have saved a lot of heartache, but the occasional good times make it all worthwhile

                            We used to phone the Echo desk for results

                              You accusing someone ELSE of derailing a thread?!

                              Now that IS funny
