Craig 6308 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 All I remember was John Anderson got a given a car, I was baffled why footballers who earn a lot of money were handed free cars...183635[/snapback] One of those Rover 214's with 'John Anderson drives for Benfield Motors' tackily written down the side of it no doubt? My parents were once looking at new houses in Hexham and there sitting on the driveway of one of the neighbouring houses was a car with 'Mick Quinn drives for Benfield Motors' written down the side of it... If ever there was an advert for where players live 183640[/snapback] Craig knows the make and model. 183645[/snapback] Was a guess man - was just trying to think of the shittest car at that time... Oh amd Gemmill, reg was: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Away to Wimbledon in '97 I think. Asprilla scored a free kick. Game finished 1-1(possibly). First game at SJP was home to Leeds around 3 years ago. Up until Souness arrived, I had never been to a game where we hadn't scored.(West Ham last season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26441 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I always thought my first game was against West Brom, turns out it was Birmingham in 02/03. My main memory of the day is being half cut, us qualifying for the CL and chatting to Neil Ruddock in the player's lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They nodded off it was that dull. Having spent three years over there telling them how great football is in this country I looked a right spanner.

Game finished 1-1(possibly). 183692[/snapback] My first game in person as well. Right-on with the 1-1 result and Tino free-kick equalizer. We were pretty poor on the night and the free-kick wasn't anything other than Sullivan being crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14060 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Manchester City at home, October 1986, won 3-1 including goals from Gazza and the mighty Tony C. First away games were the friendlies against Nykvarn and Katrineholm in 1988. Soopafansson tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got very drunk before the game, and amused myself by abusing Roy Carroll. Shame he had a good game! We were absolutely rotten that day. My next game that season was home to Blackburn. I flew over with my girlfriend, and it was her first game in SJP. We were fucking rotten that day as well. She loved it though! Bringing her over for the Fulham game in a couple of weeks, hope we're a bit better. That Wimbledon game in Selhurst Park was a bit of a pain for me. It was my first Toon game, andSky fucked me over, by announcing that the game was gonna be changed to the Sunday for tv. I ended up having to leave early and missed Albert nearly scoring an og. The 1st of many times I've been screwed over by tv or flights(missed Barca, Everton, Chelsea recently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 That Blackburn game last season was the first game that I have been present at that we lost too. Souness for sunderland. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 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.
