With a little research I reckon my first game was February 29th, 1992. We beat Wolves 1-0 at Roker Park. I'll have been 6.

I can't find the team sheet though. :neutral:

Can't remember my first league game but my first FA Cup game was on 7th January 1961. We were in the old second division (finished 3rd behind Liverpool and Leyton Orient) and Arsenal were division 1. We won 2-1 - Stan Anderson scored both of our goals and David Herd opened the scoring for them.

Teams were:

SUNDERLAND
Peter Wakeham
Colin Nelson
Len Ashurst
Stan Anderson
Charlie Hurley
Jim McNab
Harry Hooper
Amby Fogarty
Ian Lawther
Willie McPheat
Jackie Overfield

ARSENAL
Jack Kelsey
Terry Neill
Jimmy Magill
Billy McCullough
John Barnwell
Mel Charles
David Herd
Jackie Henderson
Geoff Strong
George Eastham
Vic Groves
 
I can't find the team sheet but from the research I've done it would have been Sunderland Vs Huddersfield, September 28th 1985. Please feel free to tell me what the team was.
 
That was mine too, Clock Stand Paddocks. I was bought a programme and read it cover to cover for months. I wanted to go back next game in case I was the ringed face in the crowd in the next programme.
