1970 Everton. The Willie Carr, Ernie Hunt donkey kick game. I think we won 4-1

What a game.

It was definitely v Liverpool in the 80's and I think it was 85.

My brother was a token Liverpool fan so my Old Man took us up. We lost and I was hooked.

1976/77 - The infamous 2-2 draw vs Bristol City at HR.

Sat in the front row of the pitch level seats, behind the little white wall that was in front of the Main Stand.

1974 v Burnley with my dad. Think it may have been a draw, dad took me to front of spion kop where most of the kids stood and then went back to stand with his mates.

2 nil up. Tommy Hutchinson double from memory, all went tits up.. Sunderland result (we had late kick off, people struggling to get into ground ) delayed. Sunderland result on screen, they lost or drew. All we had to do , both teams was drawn. Ball never left centre circle. FA enquiry. Nothing found. Match commander GW, thank you GW, sadly now passed.

All of those handball decisions look ridiculous now.

1985. On the kop. Stood on a crate. Dad can't remember what it was but could be QPR?
He threw me in the air when we scored and I cried.
Tears - supporting Cov.... has continued for the following 40 odd years!

Although I had been going semi regularly since 72 that was the first game I actually remember attending. We were also sat there - from my memory - and never sat there again.

Arsenal at Highfield Road in 1997, Paul Williams was sent off

I worked on Matchdays at the club at this time, he booted the door down the tunnel as he walked off as he was fuming as he felt Bergkamp had dived…left some lovely stud marks in the door!

Frank Sidebottom · 2026-02-01T21:10:57+0000

1-2 defeat to Wimbledon 1994.... worth it for Ndlovus goal though.

I think that one was for a foul on Bergkamp (or Bergkamp dived). Viera was also sent off for them, if I have the right game. It was a proper humdinger.

Moff · 2026-02-01T21:16:18+0000

The first game I can recall going to was one against Everton in the late 1970’s but can’t remember which year.

The first game I can remember attending and the result was the 3-1 win against Crystal Palace when Clive Allen hit the stanchion of the goal from a free kick and the goal wasn’t given.

That was the Wimbledon game when Richard Shaw was sent off as well and we came back to draw 3-3 from 3-1 down with 9 men.
I think David Rennie scored the equaliser.

Yes I remember it well aged 11, winter of 62/ 63 we didn't go to school for over two months because of the snow.

Happy days.

Evo1883 · 2026-02-01T21:20:34+0000

I think my first few games watching city at HR were all draws and the first win i saw was against Middlesbrough in late december 1996 , we won 3-0 and i remember it because it was very cold and my old man slipped forward a couple rows when we scored ..

I have a vivid memory of him running back to the goal as Oggy had been beaten, jumping and batting the ball over the bar to prevent the goal and got sent off.

To chants of "Your never beat the Willo" as he walked off

1964. Highfield Rd. Played Huddersfield. If I recall, we won 3-2, but not sure on score. I was 11 at the time.
Actually, I may be wrong. I think it was 1963. I'm sure I was only 10 at my first game.

Fairly certain it’s this one:

I was sat just a couple of rows behind the goal where he got sent off, I indeed remember the blokes around me all convinced Bergkamp had dived. 2-2 draw, great game.

Is that the game where over 50,000 "attended"? I was also there!

edgy · 2026-02-01T21:33:23+0000

Fairly sure it was Cov 5 - 4 Forest in the League Cup 90/91 season.
Very vague memory of Gallys hat trick.
