will be 53 years almost to the day since my first match. 28th October 1961 against Plymouth. Roker stacked to the rafters,won 5-0,completely hooked from that day to this. Played 21 games at home that season....lost just one..to Liverpool, who won the league by a mile. Fortress Roker....magical times.We finished the season third,drew the last game at Swansea,if we'd won would have gone up on goal difference from Leyton Orient. Fuck........didn't realise I was old.....where's that time gone?

:lol::lol: Was Matthews playing at Stoke then?

No he wasn't but if I have to be perfectly honest I have to say that I have very faded memories of the game itself.
(PS in 1964 I did get and still have Johnny's autograph - he was not in the 61-62 team of course but I mention him because of your avatar)

Just catch them one with your stick when you can marra -like I do . But watch out you divvent fall owwar and dee yer hip.
 
34 years tomorrow for me. Ipswich at home, lost 2-0. 9th at the time and stayed up on the last day by winning at Liverpool.

So, my first season saw us punch above our weight and raise hopes, fall away dramatically and sack the manager and then we pulled ourselves out of the shit at the last minute.

Wonder how many seasons since have been the same!

What will you be doing to celebrate this landmark anniversary? ;)
 
I'm on my 30th season this year, it took me around 6 or 7 games before I saw us score a goal and that was the great Dave f***ing Swindlehurst. Those who think we are shit now need to remember or realise what my first 15 or so years were like. THAT was f***ing shit

Went to a few games at Roker but can't remember a thing.

My 1st game at the SOL other than Ajax was a 2-3 defeat to Barnsley under Reid. Ashley Ward scored, missed a pen, then got sent off
