[Camborne Gills]

Plymouth Argyle 0 -0 Gillingham FA Cup 1stRound in November 1981

 

[mowgli]

It was so many years ago i can't remember

 

[Pagnell]

Can't remember in all honesty. It would have been a home game at Liverpool around the mid 70s, I wouldn't have been more than 4 or 5.

 

[Abertawe]

Derby County v Barnsley. Think it was the first game at Pride Park. Knew from that early age Derby would be a shit team in years to come.

 

[StagsForLife]

Leyton Orient in something like 2005, lost 2-0 I think.

 

[smat]

Away - premier league vs Blackburn - Campo header and two Jussi pen saves.

Let's be mates!

 

[hbk4894]

[Richard Cranium]

Britain v Germany at No mans land 100 years ago

 

[mistermagic]

France vs Andorra. Must have been October 1998.

 

[BlueBee]

Chelsea 1 - 3 Aston Villa 2001/02 season

End of the season game. Think that's the last time my sister went to a game.

 

[Super_horns]

Watford 0 Tranmere 0

Jan 1st 1992 in the old Div 2.

Only 6 or so.

 

[silkyman]

First ever game. I don't know. I remember sitting on a pile of bricks, because they were building something at the ground, sharing sweets with a mate and a copper came over and nicked one.

First game I can place was City 3-1 Watford in November 1988 in the old second division. (Fucking glory hunter...) (remember nowt from the game but remember it was Watford and in November because it was for my Brother's birthday.. Soccerbase did the rest.)

First game I actually remember anything about was Macc 4-2 Dartford in the FA Trophy Semi Final. It was on the same day as Hillsborough, so sticks in the memory.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Shocked that you remember nothing from the City match.

 

[The Cards]

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham in 14th November 1998, was 6 years old

 

[Etty Abrics]

A friendly at Crabble v West Ham in August (I think), 1993

I still have the program for the second game, also a friendly, against Gillingham.

EDIT: Actually this is bullshit...I saw England Schoolboys v West Germany Schoolboys at Wembley a couple of years earlier...

 

[JaredSUFC]

Wimbledon v QPR at Selhurst Park in October 1993. 1-1 draw

 

[Bobbin']

Charlton 1 - 0 Luton

April 1995 I think? David whyte (God rest his soul) scored the goal and Steve Brown was sent off.

 

[claret50]

West Ham vs ???? 1950 when I was nine.

 

[SALTIRE]

Probably Dundee v Celtic a number of times back in the early eighties as my dad was a fan of Celtic, then I started going to see Dundee games regularly with my grandad who'd leave me outside the pub afterwards for a bit while he had a few rums! !

 

[St Nick]

Southampton 1 Derby 2

 

[markpvfc]

Vale 1 Oxford 2, we were shit then, we're shit now. Somethings never change.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Arsenal v Coventry sometime in the 1990s or an England Schoolboys game sometime in the 1990s. Not exactly sure.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Plymouth Argyle 0 -0 Gillingham FA Cup 1stRound in November 1981

Can see why you became so interested in football

 

[hodge]

No idea what year pre 2000 as I was still living in Dorset, some pre season friendly between Bournemouth and Palace

 

[Alty]

I can never remember which came first but it's either an Alty victory over Welling (2-1 I think, the ref missed a blatant handball by a Welling player, only for another Welling player to handball it 3 seconds later to give us a penalty) or one of the never-ending series of friendlies between Manchester United and Celtic (that got less frequent after the IRA blew up Manchester). Pretty sure that one was 0-0. Circa 93.

 

[QPR_Matt]

I think my first game was QPR vs Swindon, and we lost 2-1 with Karl Reddy got sent off. Around 1996 at guess.

First away game was at Readings old place near Boxing Day. I was on my brothers shoulders, and we started to sign "the referees a wanker". I didnt know what it meant, and I remember saying around the table (Boxing Day we have family over) that it was my favourite song as everyone sung it. I said "what was that song again? The referees a what?" My brother claimed to not remember. In hindsight, I know why he didn't answer Must have been about 9 at the time.

 

[Ciderhead]

Wycombe 2-0 Peterborough 99/00

Notable for holding the record for the 2 fastest consecutive goals in English football. 10.4 secs between the two Wycombe goals.

I needed the toilet and missed both
