Every one remembers the first time they were enlightened to this beautiful game. So when was it?

Mine was January 1st 1991 - Derby 1 - 1 Coventry City. Mike Hartford scored for Derby and Cyril Regis for City.

It was during Derby's relegation season (sound familar) of 90/91. We were piss-poor and eventually finished bottom with 25pts.

    Zurich Grasshoppers vs. Leeds United, December 2001 (i think :s). 1-2. Played at Hardturm. <IMG alt="image" SRC="smile.gif" border="0">

    I assume we are talking about first matched viewed from the sidelines, right?

    Shrewsbury Town v Newcastle United (featuring a mulletted Kevin Keagan) on 18 Sept 1982 at Shrewsbury's imposing riverside ground - The Gay Meadow. (Shrewsbury lost - just).

    Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest. I don't know the date but I must've been about 7 so... 1992? I remember it was 2-1 to Villa and Roy Keane was playing for Forest.

    My dad, in an attempt to steer me away from United, took me to Brighton vs Liverpool, a Div 1 game, in November 1980,

    This was an amazing Liverpool side contaiing Clemmence, Dalglish, Heighway, Case, Thompson etc.

    Liverpool won 4-1 which was no surprise.

    Oh, and Dad's plan never worked, I guess Dalglish's moody, 'no autographs' made sure that I would never support them...

    Mine was Forest vs Man City. Not sure when it was, quite a few years ago though.

    LOL you have brought back some painful memeories!!

    First match was May 1997, Ibrox to see my beloved Rangers 'win' 9-in-a-row. Was all prepared for the championship party and just knew we'd gub Motherwell. Thing is we lost 2-0 and i went home with my head down..

    We won the title 3 days later with Brian Laudrup scoring to beat Dundee Utd 1-0! But i will never forget that day....

    Dont laugh

    Well ok, laugh, I deserve it:

    My 1st match was Dunfermline vs Hearts on the 2nd January, 1999. I was dragged along with the worst hangover EVER by my then Dunfermline-mad b/f after drinking myself unconsious the night b4!

    Needless to say I dont remember much, and I dumped the guy the next day <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    I've been to some Northern Ireland matches, same as beatnusoon, dont think I've ever seen them win though <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
