What are your earliest memories of football?

[PinkFinal]

I think my first is a household discussion of Scotland's elimination from the 1974 World Cup, I vaguely remember the final of that tournament too.
England 5 Scotland 1, 1975 [Including a goal from King Colin]
1975 European Cup Final [Leeds - Bayern]
The Frannie Lee - Norman Hunter fight
Park Drive football books
And of course the rags being in Division two.

Sportsnight and The Big Match. Oh and a QPR v LIverpool game when Stan Bowles and Phil Parkes played for QPR. Feels like a thousand years ago mind...

 

[Vienna_70]

1969-70 season.

Watching us lose 0-3 to WBA on The Big Match, 1/2/70, the League Cup final, winning the ECWC and the FA Cup final and replay between Chelsea and dirty Leeds.

 

[lancs blue]

1961 FA cup Final, Spurs beating Leicester to win the League and Cup double. Leicester down to 10 men in the first half after a player was carried off, no subs in those days. I was 6 at the time, watching it on a small black and white telly with a really low-def picture, as they all were then!

On TV the England v Argentina game. Remember my old man running to the TV screaming handball in 86. Going to my first game in 87 and daydreaming for Spurs' goal. I cheered along as if I see it. Still to this day haven't seen the goal and there were no replays to watch on a jumbotron

My two earliest memories are Keith McRae making an amazing save I think against the dippers at the old North Stand end and taking part in a sweep at home half a crown a pop for the 66 world cup final - my Dad lumped my stake on and they all lamented the fact the child got 2-2 at full time in the draw - all I know is at 5 I was the richest kid on my street ha ha ha

Watching the 75 cup final when West Ham beat Fulham

 

[Barcon]

My Dad wrapping his big, brown, camel hair coat around me to cover me from the rain, standing on the Kippax. Probably around 1969-1970 ish.

Some of us were in Vienna that night mate. ;)

Sunderland beating City on their way to winning the cup
