December 7th 1968, beat Burnley 7-0. Two matches after your first Nellys left peg. Beat Coventry City 4-2 in between.
He was only 15 when he played that evening also started at centre forward,played in lots of different positions in his early days then found his true spot number 3 left back.I had no idea he was with us that long ago. I remember watching him when I was a nipper and I wasn't even born in 62.
My first was certainly not the earliest on here but quite interesting. 2nd May 1960 to see Burnley win the league with a crowd of 65,981. Burnley won 2-1 and won the league by 1 point.
Beat me to it...
... pretty sure the first half was the quietest half of football City ever played.
No wonder they never scheduled any more games at 11:15AM on a Sunday.
