Guest alex Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Spurs, first game of the 88-89 season. Finished 2-2 I think, Andy Thorn scored, and it was welcome to the ugly side of football as my abiding memory of that day is Spurs black players getting goaded with monkey chants for 90 minutes. 184002[/snapback] One of the things I remember about my first game is Howard Gayle getting that treatment. And he was playing for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one that comes to mind is Danny Wallace for Man Utd in 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I think the first one I went to was against West Ham, in the old wooden west stand with my dad and grandad. Some sort of a fire in one of the ends??? First one I can properly remember was in the early eighties against Rotherham. Their manager was Emlyn Hughes, I was impressed because he was on Question of Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him being pelted with frozen mars bars from the gallowgate corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abiding memory is everyone stamping their feet simulataneously and the whole fucking thing felt like it was gonna collapse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
