Maybe not earliest but it caused a discussion in our house at the time. Neville Southall sat against his posts at half time when they were losing rather than go and listen to his manager Colin Harvey.

Watching the 75 cup final when West Ham beat Fulham
Yeah I should have had that on my list, the first FA Cup Final I remember watching. In Booth Hall hospital.

Age 6. Watching the FA Cup final City v Leicester at my dad's friends house and us kids were playing footy in the garden and me popping in and out asking what the score was.
The following year, World Cup 1970. Remember a lot about it especially the England v Brazil / W Germany games and the final, wow, even at 7 I was so in awe of the Brazil side (even though at that age I didn't know what being in awe meant ;)

3 things, remembering Big Joe being booked for arguing about the penalty spot at The Baseball ground - maybe 1974? Watching The King of all Geordies score the winner in the League Cup - 1976 - Being chased down the alley by my Rag supporting dad (RIP - miss you loads) after Bobby Stokes scored the winner in the FA Cup & I told him his team was shit I was 9- 1976?

Pretty sure the Derby penalty spot thing was 1977.
I've just remembered another - the '75 League Cup Final - Villa - Norwich.

Taking our coats or pullovers off to use as goalposts as the nearest park was too much effort.
