FA Cup final 81 V Man City. IIRC it was the 100th FA Cup final too.

My Dad picked me up from a school camp in Wales, we drove to Watford, parked and caught the train in.

The smell of hotdogs, pissed fans and my Dad crying at Abide with me, I remember it as clear as a bell. Apart from Spurs' equaliser deflecting off Tommy Hutchinson, I can't remember much about the game TBH. I do remember the replay though!!

110th final.

I am sure I saw it in colour :cool:. Thanks Chosen one , love the toilet roll throwing, how i miss it :p. That folks is why I support this bloody club.

I'm only a lightweight..

1st was vs Woolwich - Sept 1966 3-1

2nd was vs Fulham. - Feb 1967. 4-2

Almost 38 years and 5-600 or more games later ... I've served my time.

My first game I ever went to was, unusually, an away game at Ipswich. Jason Dozzell with a late (and scrappy) equaliser against his old club.



First home game I went to wasn't until 1998 when we beat Forest 2-0, with Armstrong and Nielsen scoring. Unsurprisingly no videos of that. It was a pretty poor game (typical of the George Graham era).

My first game, October 18th 1989. Us v's the Scum. Absolutely brilliant night :D



The 'refurbished' East Stand fully opened that night too. The fisticuffs on the pitch after our first goal were something else. Almost 25 years ago... Where has the time gone :cry:

ah, I remember it well. I'd just finished helping mum button-hooking her boots when uncle birch came in, effing and blinding about the perfidy of the bloody boers, but more than certain that lord milner would 'sort that lot out'. anyway, once he'd calmed down, he mentioned that a patron down at the haberdashery had offered up, as payment for an additional gusset, two tickets to that afternoon's contest between our lads and the scoudrels from the woolwich arsenal. well, as everyone knows, the acquisition of 'Jock' John Cameron had the whole borough buzzing, and the prospect of seeing him with my own eyes nearly made me drop the chamber pot! so when, with a wink and a nod, uncy birch confirmed that the second ticket was mine, i gave out a great 'whoop!' and within minutes we were off to the marshes!

well, no sooner had Charles Ambler - a former Royal Arsenal man, himself - taken his place in goal, than we knew this was to be a heated affair; and as the footage shows, the pace was brisk and there was no shortage of venom ...
