Indy 3,232 Posted June 23, 2019 Enjoyed that, so your first game was a cup match when the FA cup meant something.....poor mistake by Keelan for the second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think many peoples first game was a cup match back then. A lot of people my age started at that game. And I guess a few years before many started at the Leicester game. Before that probably the 59 cup run. Nowadays kids probably start with cup games but for different reasons. I'm sure many first gamers were at the Chelsea game a couple of years ago. And probably even the Portsmouth game last season. Keelan wasn't all that when he first came into the side. By the late 60s he was awesome and stayed that way right through the 70s. He's definitely the best of all time for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Woodsie only played about 200 odd games for us, but he was quality. It just goes to show how much of a prestige competition the FA Cup was with so many people turning up to watch, it’s sad that it’s lost that now money of the premiership has taken over.

daly 497 Posted June 24, 2019 Would have been in my usual seat in the South/Jarrold/Galway Roast/South Stand but as Little Mix said they couldn't be there I have taken up the an option to bring Stanley Johnson Boris's father to wind up Delia in the Directors Box. I probably will be asked to make an appearance at half time between the Boys Brigade Marching Band and Delia's rant of Lets be aving yer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was my first game as well sitting in the Barclay End at the front with my legs through the railings at the front, never be allowed today - the excitement was electric and even though I moved away from the City some 40 years ago they will never take the yellow and green out of me - 'On the Ball City' Edited June 24, 2019 by Midlandscanary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 25, 2019 That was my favourite strip Double N. The green socks made us look a bit continental. I had a green singlet, yellow hipsters and work those old silky scarves around my forehead like a bandana. I don't know why that style faded?😍 I've searched but there isn't even a programme available for my first match which was 20 August 1960 against Sheffield Untied.
