Born on a match day?

I was born in the middle of a 6 game undefeated run. I guess that was almost as good as its ever got! Mind, its also the season we played in Singapore on tour - the only time? - and now living there, so thats freaky!
 
March 20th 1976.

Drew 1-1 away to Oldham.

I managed to get the programme off eBay :)
 
I've just checked, cos I was born on a Saturday (18th April 1970)

We lost 0-1 at home to Liverpool on Wed 15th April
No game on Saturday 18th
and beat Lazio 3-1 at home in the Anglo Italian cup on 2nd May (in front of 3,764 fans!!!)

So I checked why we didn't play on the Saturday, the day of my birth, and it's because England were playing Wales in the British Home Championships (1-1 draw)
 
Day after a 1-0 win at Ewood in September '75. Tony Towers got the goal.
We won the league that year, unbeaten at home. :cool:
 
Me, no (born 31st May).

My daughter however was born last May on the day we beat Man Utd at Old Trafford. I said the lads couldn't let her down (she was born early in the morning) and they didn't.......for once. :)
 
6th Feb, '65 for me - beat Blackpool 1-0 at Roker.
Anyone else? - different day i mean, obviously.

My youngest sons birthday that as well. We beat Oxford United at the Manor in the Cup. Johnny Byrne scored obviously.

We beat Chelsea 4-1 the day before I arrived, I was a day late as well. Trevor Ford treble and Shack notched in the first minute.
 
02/10/1993 - Peterborough United @ Home. Won 2-0 (Phil Gray, Gary Owers)

Brother bought me an original programme for my 21st :cool:
 
I was born the day before the 1980 FA cup final. The cup final was still a massive deal back then so my dad left my mam in the hospital to go and watch it. He would have been livid if I was a day later.

Also when my son was born my wife went into labour the night of Bruce playing no forwards at Brighton. Went to bed livid with a 03.30 alarm for work only to be woken an hour later saying her waters had broke. Sharp forgot the game like :lol:
 
Not me, I was born in June.

Closest game to when I was born was a 1 - 1 home draw with Liverpool. Nick Sharkey scoring for us and Roger Hunt equalizing for Liverpool.
 
Day before a 3-3 home draw with Portsmouth in October 56. Never bothered to check before. Now I know I was born on a Friday.
