My first game..Ian St.John got sent off for nutting Brian Lewis...http://www.11v11.com/matches/coventry-city-v-liverpool-26-december-1967-79557/
Bang on the money
I'm sure I remember his goal from that one too
I got a copy of this a few years ago (from somebody on the old GMK I think) along with a few other titbits.
My first game was 1958/59 season, but I was very young and can't remember who it was or even what the score was. I was taken to a couple of games that season and I think one of them must have been the last home game when promotion from Division 4 was clinched. My clearest memories of this game are how happy everybody was and lemonade and crisps afterwards with the players who were drinking beer from bottles!
1984 away to Southampton
We lost 8-2
from then on in, i knew CCFC were my club...
At home to Arsenal at the start of the 86/87 season. Wikipedia tells me it was 26th August and we won 2-1 in front of a massive 11,182. It's all been downhill since my first season as a supporter!
Deano-do you possibly have a clip of the dive by Bergkamp in the 1999 game which got Williams sent off?
I remember getting home from work that day just in time for the videprinter to churn out the results. When the score came up it put the word eight in brackets alongside just to take the piss .
I remember streams of us walking out at 3-0. We were just walking past the West End when Carsley got the consolation penalty-my uncle wanted to watch him take it. My dad said 'I don't wanna stay here any longer' and hauled us off.
Don't think he's had the same interest as he did before that game.
I'd started dragging my little brother along to games that season. As we started our long journey home in the car after this game he looked over at me and simply said, "Lee, I don't want to come to any more games". I know how he felt. Wisely he kept his promise but I got a ST the following year, doh!
Didn't really take much notice of football until I hit double figures, so for me one of the earliest was April 2004, Millwall at home. Won 4-0. Eric Deloumeaux (whatever happened to him?!), Joachim (2) and McSheffrey on the scoresheet.
Firstly BSB, Top thread bud!
My first game was against Man City at HR in the first game of the 95/96 season, went with my dad and his work mate who is a Man City fan and we won 2-1, was just after my birthday

I'm convinced it was an Ajax preseason friendly, we lost 2-1, when I was either 4 or 5, but I've done some googling and found nothing, strange.
1970, Cov V Everton
The game with the famous Willie Carr flick that was volleyed in by Ernie Hunt.
What a great first game to go to.....My dad scrounged a couple of tickets from the late great Ernie Machin (RIP), Ernie lived a few houses up the street from us (Norton Hill Drive, Wyken).
It was a great day we were in the sky blue stand, and had a great view of that free kick, City won 3-1.
The only downer was that sitting next to me was the person i hated most in the whole world (not my brother that i went with) but my bloody DENTIST!!!!
what are the chances of that happening????
Still WTF it was a day i'll never forget.
Yep, pretty sure we did. From memory 10-1 would have been a fairer result.
A truly awful game for a first match.
