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.

I assume we are talking about first matched viewed from the sidelines, right?
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...
Newcastle United vs Stevenage Borough, FA Cup replay 2-1 to the Toon, God scoring twice.
First league game:
Newcastle United vs Chelsea, FA Prem opening day 2000/2001 season.. VERY back row Milburn stand (the effing HUGE rebuilt stand) 0-0 draw.
First game as NUFC Matchday Steward:
Newcastle United vs Aston Villa, FA Prem 30 Sept '02. We won 3-0, I was on pitch perimeter!!!
PS.. I know this has ABSOLUTE JONES to do with this subject.. but can I change my nickname from Hohner to something a lot better?

I won tickets and was sat a few feet away from Pele!
the next ne after that was Cardiff City - can't remember who they played - but they lost!
my next (2nd) football match is tonight with my local team plymouth argyle in a local derby against exeter!
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....
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">
