What was your first match watching the lads?

[Wayne The Punk]

Bally's testimonial.

Quite recent then

Everton at Roker Park, a night match 0-0 in the Roker end

That must have been the season we came up with Leeds then, right?

My first SAFC game was against Northampton Town too - but at Northampton and in the old top flight - I think it was 1966, April. Weekday evening. We lost 2-1, IIRC. Think Slim Jim was playing, but can't remember anything of the game, TBH. The Cobblers were relegated after one season in the top flight a month later. I think we scraped survival (some things never change )

Ta! Yeah, April 25th - I remember it was quite a light evening. Hadn't realised we were actually LEADING most of the match! Then two goals in two minutes to finish us off - oh, where have I read that before?

 

[leviathan]

Sunderland 0 - 2 Wolves about 1993, just before butcher got the sack.

Yes - at least that is what everyone said. But then Luton were too, around that time.

Mine was against West Ham in 1980, beat them with goals from Kevin Arnott and Stan Cummins and promoted to Division One.

Same as.

Fantastic night.
Mine was Jimmy Montgomery's testimonial. I think it was May 1974, it was against the Mags and I think it was just after they had been beat 0-3 by Liverpool in the cup final

 

[Red N White Baron]

87 relegation play off game. I should have realised what the craic was back then, and glory supported someone else.

 

[janey]

That's the one Hank, I was 6 years old and didn't have a clue what I was getting myself in to. I blame my old man.

I blame mine as well

Blame mine too
There are a lot of dads have to take a lot of responsibility for causing their children to be miserable

Thanks.
Heartbreaking end to that season.
A draw at home to Chelsea and we were up.
Tommy Docherty's boys spoiled the game, won 1-0 and they went up instead.

 

[Carino]

Spurs at home 1990. We drew 0-0.

This for me anarl
