[Norbiton]

Norbiton Junior was born while City were playing- 4.40 on 17March 1984, the 5-1 defeat at Craven Cottage. I’ve always been grateful to him for sparing me that

I was born during a match if that counts. We won 3-2 at Arsenal. I was in my 30s when we next won there.

Southampton home 78-79 season i think. As part of being a junior blue we had a tour of Maine Road before the game and went into the changing rooms and saw Paul Power on a massage couch in his pants. This was for my best mates 7th birthday. Rip Tim

The thread is for the first game City played after you were born, not the first City match you attended. That's my understanding at least.

[Bozzie]

Mine 2nd September 1959 3-1 victory at home against Fulham, McAdams and Colbridge scored.

1st City game I went on 28th December 1964 2-0 defeat away to Bury at Gigg Lane.

Beat you to it by a couple of weeks … opening game of the season, a 2-1 home win over Forest on 22nd August. Apparently Ken Barnes should’ve been sent off for a second bookable offence and Bobby Johnstones winner chalked off for a foul on the Forest defender. The more things change eh!
