Sheffield United 89/90 season. 1 nowt down after a few mins, Brian deane.
Second half bracewell scores a screamer then Marco. Finished 3 - 1.
Dennis Smith red and white army sang for what seemed like the full game.
Went to Barnsley the following week expecting the same, got beat 1 nowt.
 
Loads of places where we went with not many, got a kicking & the next year took ‘000’s inc specials eg Pompey, Southampton & of course Bristol :)
I know that I went to loads of aways but only on one Sunderland special, no two if you include the 73 semi.

Was that Sheff Utd game a night match ?
 
Aye, Tuesday or wed can't remember now. Remember I was allowed the full day off school
It's a long story but I ended up in their main stand near the back. There were five of us. We were with some Sheff Utd fans. They scored first and a big bloke was in our faces screaming " Where's your Marco now you *****"
You can imagine our response when he scored. Bracewell scored a screamer the away end was rocking all night, their fans still mention it.
We went in a pub out of the back of the main stand after the match and I dropped the jackpot. We got a locky in and got home with the blackbirds.
 
Derby away I think. May have been an early appearance from Gray. Pretty sure Sean Cunnington was in the side too. Think it was a draw :-O

My first ever game as well. Had just left royal navy, being new to the area I wasn't sure who to follow, I was scottish and had met a lass from south shields and married. Went to a couple of newcastle games but felt nowt, then this match and that was me hooked. Travelled down with lads from Mill in shields on there bus, great craic and a good drinking session pre match.
The match I remember most for was Bracewell stunning volley in front of us and my abiding memory of the constant singing, that was awesome on the night.
 
Notts County last day of 92/93 season, hell on. Only stopped coz West ham beat Cambridge or something like that

When it was standing, Sheff Utd was always a great place to go. 43 mins 10 secs. "Sheffield United have given the game to Sunderland!" Special mention for the scenes at Blackburn as well, 40 mins 10 secs..
 
West ham 0-6
Don goodman went off the pitch for treatment, when he came back on we were 2-0 down
