canarydan23 4,060 Posted September 8, 2023 Mine was also Everton, but it was August 1992. Everton went 1-0 up and I moaned that I wanted to go home, but 10 minutes later Ruel Fox equalised and my old man said "do you still want to go home?" to which I answered a firm "No!".

Hairy Canary 704 Posted September 8, 2023 Some big old numbers here! Very impressive First game was a nil nil at home to Wednesday in 1970 so just 53. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,409 Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) 54 for me, 1969, but none of my family nor me can remember the game! Which I understand was typical of Lol Morgan's period of management! 😀 Edited September 8, 2023 by shefcanary Not LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Vos is one and also Myra Hawtree.There maybe others. Its interesting that people remember their first game. In all honesty I can't remember who mine was against or even the exact date. I am sure it was 1953 because my grandfather had just passed away and I was in my grandmothers garden in King Street one Saturday afternoon. I heard the sound of cheering and wandered off down King Street to Carrow Rd. Russell Allison was just opening those big green gates so it must have been mid way through the second half. Along with several other curious souls and a few that couldn't afford the entry, I just wandered in to see what it was all about And the rest is history.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,761 Posted September 8, 2023 43 seasons....1980/81 Bizarre to think that I've witnessed roughly half of the games ever played at Carrow Rd ...claim to fame remains that I was the matchday mascot vs QPR in Oct ' 84, the Saturday after the Main Stand was burnt down...

Jack Flash 13 Posted September 8, 2023 First match remembered was Rd One FA Cup 1958 v Ilford but as a regular along with my best mate, Canaryking, 62 years ago, saw every match that first season back in the old 2nd Division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serinus Canaria Domestica 42 Posted September 8, 2023 I vaguely remember being thrust forward onto the “chicken run” in front of the main stand in I guess 1960. I do know that Derrick Lythgoe was playing but I have no idea who the opposition was. Clearest memory was away at PNE, the family was on holiday in the Pennines somewhere and Dad thought it would be fun to drive over to Preston for the match. I think we drew 2-2 and remember the quicksilver inside forward Jim Oliver was up front, May be with the bullet headed Conway? This was either 1961 or 62. So 60+ years a fan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
