Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 22, 2021 after you were born? Saw a similar thread on TWTD and thought I'd look up how long it took City to win a game after I was born. It was 9 days (The first game after I was born was a hammering unfortunately 😞 but it didn't put me off 🙂 ) Anyone else want to play if you're bored? Did Norwich celebrate your entry into the World with a win on the same day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,767 Posted January 22, 2021 6 days. I must have been a good omen though. Won the day before I was born, then went on for four more wins in a row. The whole of September 71 was a corker. 5 wins, 1 draw.👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,536 Posted January 22, 2021 So I checked this. It was 17 days after I was born when we beat Palace 1-0 in the opening game 56/57. Johnny Gavin scored. We went on to finish bottom of the football league. Looking at the team Charlie Billington was centre half. A player I wish I'd seen play after hearing so many stories from other players and supporters from that time🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Juler 151 Posted January 23, 2021 I was born pre-season in late July, so the first competitive victory wasn't for 22 days against Lincoln City in the Football League Group Cup. More recently I can remember that for my son we lost 4-0 the day after he was born, and we didn't pick up a win for 34 days. On the day our daughter was born we were cruising 3-0 up at Elland Road, but ended up drawing 3-3. Can remember Mrs J not sharing quite as much disappointment as me at full time! Was only a short wait for a win, 8 days later we thumped QPR 4-0 at home on the last game of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
