I'd forgotten it; I remembered we went down to 9, but couldn't remember who was sent off or why.
I can remember their keeper's own goal, and the expression on his face afterwards, clear as day, though.

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.
Great team Middlesbrough had back then, I always pretended to be Ravaneli in the back Garden... untill the neighbours complained about me flashing my belly all the timeI 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 ..
Is that the game where over 50,000 "attended"? I was also there!
Same. The next season we were in the West Stand, then in subsequent years; I stood on the East Terrace (nr the scoreboard) and then latterly in the West Terrace.
Had a m8 who sometimes had a spare ticket in the Directors Box…
I had my photo taken at a game (not sure which one), and it was used in the 1964 edition of the Children's Encyclopedia Brittanica, under the "A" section for "Association Football". I only found out when we were in the school library and one of my classmates yelled, "It's Baz! Look!" . And there I was, full page, full face close-up, black & white glossy photo, wearing a woolly balaclava and looking totally bored! I've since tried to find a copy but apart from buying all volumes at a silly cost, I've not had any luck!#metoo
Snap!
Snap!
Got Many autographs at those reserve games!

Just a pair of kids hahahha, I was born June 54 and as best I can remember my first game was a Boxing Day game in about 1960 with my Dad and Brother -in-law, who used to take us. My first game on my own/pals was in 1966 aged 12.Hi Stretto I take it you were born in Feb 1955 as was I
Thats right, had Gordan Strachan try and make a paper airoplane out of the pen and paper as he was afew rows down in the directers box and couldnt reach!On the one page team sheet they’d print out m8
Just had a quick google on that set of encyclopedia and they're going for a couple of hundred quid! Don't think I'll bother just for one volume needed for one photo!It's good to know that we have famous people amongst our supporters.
I hope you got a good deal for your image rights

Amazing postCan’t remember my first CCFC game but my first ever visit to HR was for an England U23 match vs Romania in 1964. I was aged 10 and still remember walking up the steps to see the pitch under floodlights. Incredible. Bill Glazier was in goal for England which also had Ball, Chivers, Jones, Hunter and Hinton in the side. England won 5-0.
I was 4- only memory is being told 'stay close to your dad'. Which tbf would prob be enough to keep you safe v Millwall in the 80s...No way?! Brilliant!!
If I recall correctly, it was a cold, dull, grey day?!
