Syteanric 1 Posted January 28, 2009 December 1991, Rumbelows cup 4th round vs the appy Ammers... i was 10 and was supporting wet sham funnily enough as they were the only football team i was really aware of at the time (saw them on the telly i think) Flecky scored a blinder on the volley from 18 yards after Mike Small gave the spammers the lead... Norwich then got a penalty in the last minute after Mark Bowen went down easily under Mitchell thomas challenge.. flecky scored and won it...I was hooked immediately and my 2nd game was against the villa on new years day 1992... we won 2-1 again, Cyril Regis scored for Villa, Fleck scored a retaken Penalty, Les Sealey saved the first effort but Dwight Yorke was encroaching for villa so it had to be retaken.. Flecky went the same way, so did Sealey but the ball had the pace to beat him for 1-1. Bobby Ullathorne scored right at the end of the game! I can remember my mum had come to pick me and my dad up from the ground and loads of peope were streaming out.. we scored right at the death and they were all complaining they had missed it! lol!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,948 Posted January 28, 2009 Unfortunately i don''t remember my first game - I was either 18months or 2 and half years old - I know it was Villa away and have vague memories of the bloody lion walking round the pitch and waving "at me". Don''t remember anything about the football, except i think we won 3-2. I have been going ever since then.The first match that i have any serious recollection of was Forest away - 92/93 season and i think we won 3-0 or 3-1 - my overwhelming memory of that game is standing there for about 20mins after the match singing "we are top of the league...." over and over again - amazing night. My other main memory from that sort of time is Bayern Munich at home - i had the day off school so that i could come and can still remember almost everything about that day, even at the grand old age of 7 i knew it was one of the most historic days in our history!! Gossy scoring to level it up at 1-1!!!! That was the single most enjoyable moment i have ever had, and probably will ever have as a City fan. We had a KFC on the 180mile drive home and I got a Dennis the Menace sticker sheet thing with my meal - Good times!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gary 0 Posted January 28, 2009 god I feel old My first game was away to Wolves in 1972 ( I was just about three years old ) the goalpost collapsed on Keelans head , the first season I remember is the second division promotion season ( 1975 ) I remember sitting in the main stand and spilling my drink over the guy in front ( turned out I had mumps ) also remember the last game against Villa 36,000 there and lost 4 -1 I never had any interests other than football as a child Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canary cherub 1 Posted January 28, 2009 I''ve just realised that my anniversary is today - 28th January 1967, 42 years [:S]We stood on the old South Stand terrace (where the away fans go now) and I really enjoyed it, although I can''t remember who we were playing or what the score was. There''s a good reason for that though - it was eclipsed by my first away game the following Saturday, FA Cup 4th round v. Man U when the nobodies from Norwich beat the following season''s European champions 2-1. Happy days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berkshire Canary 12 Posted January 28, 2009 My Grandad took me to see us play Southampton at home during the 1988/89 season, if memory serves me right I think we won 1-0 - I remember sitting in the South Stand and loving the experience. As I was only up in Norwich during school holidays I didn''t get to see as many games as I would have wanted to but if I have really some fond memories.....

Fluff 0 Posted January 28, 2009 1976 (I think) home to Millwall. Keelan ran out to chin their left winger, all while their right winger had the ball and was attacking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellow hammer 0 Posted January 28, 2009 1961/1962 season vs Southampton. Stood on the Barclay terraces with my Dad and Grandad. Could only see about a two foot channel of the pitch and Bill Punton''s shiney bald head. Remember thinking that footballers must be very old men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Cupcake 0 Posted January 28, 2009 I was very little and my big brother was ''made'' to take me out of the way and he took me to football. All i can remember was it was Keelan''s last game and my brother and his mates hated me because my Dad wouldn''t let him take me to the Barclay so we had to go River End and they all hated me for it (i think he still does!!)
