This is mine as well.
I've always been told that we were top of the league on the day I was born but from that point onwards the season fell apart, we never regained the number 1 spot, went on to sign Marsh in early March '72 and the rest, as they say, is history.
So maybe it's not just me who was the jinx after all!
All the same, I've got the programme framed and hung up in the bathroom, some old guy wearing an eye patch shaking hands with the Sheff Utd team on the front cover and no real explanation who he is anywhere in the programme.

So what's yours?

I don't often start threads, thought of this one when i was looking for the first home prog after my sister was born (as a bday presie).
So i then looked up my own thinking it'd be good to frame it...
Til i found it was this one -
Don't really want to frame a weird drawing of Tony and Rodney trying to kill Swales by dropping the fa cup and league on his head, or are they hoping to hit him with the cracker ;)
(Or would the comb over break the impact?!)
The first match we played after i was born was
21/12/1974 - wolves in the league, an exciting 0-0!
I guess i was the curse ;)
(First goal scored after i was born was by Colin on boxing day 74)
(edit to write the match easier to read like the poster below!)

I don't know how to look but i was born December 31st 1991 so it's more than likely a new years day game, i know we were away because i remember sky sports saying new years day 92 united got beat 4-1 at home to QPR.
