Feels like far too long ago for my liking
It was a cup game, I want to say against Peterborough but I could be wrong
We got spanked 4-0 if memory serves

EDIT:
Found it, we lost 4-1 actually, almost 30 years ago :rolleyes:

My first game
Arsenal FA Cup 4th Round Feb 1968
Standing under the Double Decker packed in like sardines .
Record crowd 33,000 .
Remember Ivor Allchurch plus Arsenal centre half Ian Ure who looked like a giant to a kid .
We lost 1 nil Bobby Gould scored .
How lucky was i to have that as my first game .
 
9th Feb 1985 vs Brentford

Won 3-2. Just looked at the team and only now realised that Dean Saunders scored.

Can’t remember my first Swans match (old see) but I remember going to this and this is my programme.

Was an evening game against Exeter i think.
Around 89/90.
Think we won 1-0.
Was there as our school was given tickets. Sat in the old Centre stand.
