Yeah Zuniga scored v Bradford too.

Thought so but can't quite picture the goal. I remember almost everything from that season, was my favourite season.

We signed a lot of players in the Strachan era but he only had eyes for one man the amazing Telfer a man could produce nothing week after week and still get picked, yet another player would come in have a bad ten minutes and not get picked for months.

first electronic scoreboard
first colour matchday programme
first leaders of the premier league

I don't think we were the first leaders of the PL. I think Norwich were as they wont their first game by 2 goals. Others, including us only won by 1 goal i think.

Unless I've got the wrong season.

Skyblueweeman · Sep 28, 2020

First team to score 5 goals away from home in the EPL.

No you have the right season, but these were the days when they never produced a table until a few games in, and we were definitely the first name on top of the table when it was shown, as we won our first three. So you're both right I guess..

weren't we the first club to install undersoil heating?

Don't think so but I'm pretty sure we were the first club to trash their own pitch as a result of mistreating it.

oscillatewildly · Sep 28, 2020

Certainly not a first but most definitely a 'last' - Last team to win the FA Cup wearing stripes.

By virtue of Wigan wearing their away kit in 2013

Not true.
Charlton did it in the 80s.

First Curacao international to slide the full length of a pitch?

Tommo1993 · Sep 28, 2020

Has anyone else scored an away hat trick at Anfield since Ndlovu?

First away team to score 5 at Stadium of Light.

v Bolton ?

The Great Eastern · Sep 29, 2020

Arsenal had under soil heating decades before us.

skybluesam66 · Sep 29, 2020

we also claim to have the highest away attendance at Old trafford

decades would mean early sixties or late fifties
We had ours around 1980. The guy who used to operate it used to sort out tickets for us. Edit Everton in 1958 were the 1st

no that was in 1998 (one of my favourite ever games btw).

To choruses coming out of Ewood Park that night "We all agree.... Quinny is better than Shearer". And Radio 5 were so hooked on Blackburn going top for the first time in their history if they beat us by 3 goals, they spent 5 minutes talking about our paint splatter red/white away kit while Lee Hurst put the ball in the back of the net from 20 yards. Ahhh, memories

oscillatewildly · Sep 29, 2020

First club (deffo last) to host a 3rd replay of an FA Cup Semi Final?
(I may have gone out on a limb with this one)

DannyThomas_1981 · Sep 29, 2020

Text a sub
Orange Ken in the dugout
'Sky Blue Sam is obese' 'He's a fucking elephant Onye'
Peter 'Instant Success' Reid
Taxi for Robins (3 months later, 5 points clear with a game in hand)
Let's play Pask and Dabo in midfield

jimmyhillsfanclub · Sep 29, 2020

I'm guessing.....the first ever brown kit.

Was Ndlovu or Bruce Grobelaar

Bruce Grobbelaar.

They had the same agent, a right character. He wore a John Motson fur coat and smoked cigars. My m8 and I gave him a lift to Coventry station after Ndlovu’s debut vs QPR.

A game that has messed badly with my memory.
The joy listening to R5 and fuming about Alan Green referring to 'Coventry in Pink kit' .
Well that would have been a first .

Legia Sky Blue · Sep 29, 2020

Another 'last' is the last Midlands club to win the FA Cup - always pleased when they all get knocked out!

As well as the first club to top the Premier League we were also the first to top the Championship.

We could probably fill the top 5.

CJ_covblaze · Sep 29, 2020

Until the last international window, the most internationally capped Premier League player was one of ours. We were his only PL club too.

Surely we were the first team to beat another team which played us wearing our own kit.
Chelsea . We beat them 3-1. Frank lebueof/ lebourf/ lebeurf/ lesbian threw his Cov shirt to the floor disrespectfully as he walked off.

Skybluefaz · Sep 29, 2020

Aren't we the only team to have played at every level in the football league after we went down to league 2. I believe we played in the old north and south leagues when they were a thing.
