Tom's first match was 2005 at home to Brighton. He was only 3 but I had to take him to HR before it got pulled down. He's now pleased he can say he'd been to a game at HR but I don't think he really remembers it.
Got that right-my first season ticket was 01/02-so I've only ever really seen us in the FL. I went to about half a dozen top flight games which I can remember, the last of which was that 1-3 home loss to Everton in the relegation season. Lots of desponded folk who left the ground early that day as if I remember Everton could barely field a team.
October 1984 v Sheffield Wednesday, I was 8. Won 1-0, Terry Gibson. Oggy saved a penalty. Sat in the main stand with my dad, with my new umbro replica kit on under my jeans and coat. Got confused because Wednesday played in their yellow away kit which was pretty much identical to ours. Remember it like was yesterday.
My first game was against Everton somewhere in the mid 70's about four years old.
Went to others during the period, but the first I can clearly remember was beating Crystal Palace 3-1 at home and it being on Match of The day.
The big talking point was the Clive Allen Free Kick that went in, hit the stantion at the back of the goal and coming out, and the referee not seeing it, and so the goal was not given.
I think after this the changed the design of the gaols so such an event didnt happen again.
(Brighton Sky Blue, the Cov Arsenal game you mentioned where the score was 2-2 and Willo got sent off, for some reason I cant recall why but I was in the tunnell that day and as Willo came down he shouted 'f'ing Bergcamp' and words to that effect and booted the biggest hole in the door that was at the side of the tunnell. Good lad!)
1-0 win against Spurs at Highfield Road, Ndlovu penalty. 1995 I reckon, I would have been 9 at the time
That Everton game was one of the lowest ebbs of our top flight era. I knew after that game, as did most other people in the stadium that day, that we simply didn't have the fight or quality to stay up.
25th March 1963, 5th round of the FA Cup, home to Sunderland, followed 4 or 5 days later with the 6th round home to Manchester United. Beat Sunderland 2-1, lost to Man U 3-1. I'd been to a couple of Wolves matches before then (family came from there and my Uncle was a big fan) but was blown away by the atmosphere at HR and never looked back.
I often find it amusing that the Sunderland fans when on their rants about how past fixtures and the great injustices heaped upon them by Jimmy Hill etc. never mention this one.
august 1993 i think cov 1-west ham 1 roy wegerle scored
Think it was week after quinn's hat trick at highburyBang on the money
I'm sure I remember his goal from that one too
1970/71 season, v Blackpool, we won 2-0. Not sure who scored though ?
A 2-2 draw at home to qpr. I think gallacher and penrice both got 2. Must have been about 92
1966/7 season v huddersfield 2nd division -think we won 1-0 - but memory is fading at my age!!
Deano-do you possibly have a clip of the dive by Bergkamp in the 1999 game which got Williams sent off?
yes,not sure if match is on here,think veira got sent off in the same match
Viera's red is on there but Williams' isn't.
You can apparently buy the highlights for £4! Bobby Gould scored the winner.
