2-1 win v Norwich in 1994. Mucky quinn winner. Never realised at the time what a rare collectors item that match would be either...I.e. a win against norwich

That is where I saw my 1st game from too v Liverpool in August 1973. It was a night match and as an 8 year old I was instantly hooked.

Would be interested to hear from older posters on their dad/grandad’s first games. Any second hand accounts of people who watched Clarrie Bourton in the 30s or the infamously shite team from 1919-20?

My Grandad used to go with his Dad in the 1930’s and watched Clarrie Bourton. He used to tell a story often about when they played Luton and 10 goal Payne, the Luton striker I think. He said his Dad got into a row with with an away fan and pushed him down the bank. Must have been the beginnings of The Legion

1972 - Coventry vs Manchester City , Dennis Mortimer scored , it was 1-1 .
I remember my brother going to see us against United a couple of weeks earlier, when Best and Charlton scored when we lost 2-3 at home.
My one chance to see those 2 play together and it went to my brother who had pretty much zero interest in the game.

Mortimer was probably the first player i really admired as a kid, and his departure up the road is probably the reason ive always disliked villa

Whatever the songs I'll bet there was no need for a bloody drum.

"Up The Bantams" was popular according to a quick A.I. search.

I'm certain "if you want a Cathedral We've got one to spare" was never sung
