1974 League Cup Final with my dad and grandad. Dominated the game, bastard stand in keeper saved everything, John Richards stole a travesty of a winner with 5 minutes left, and the 9 year old version of me went home in tears. Character building!8 March 1969. Beat The Rags 1-0 at the Swamp. Buzzer scored.

Home to Arsenal October 1974, night game. Wasn't really bothered about football at the time, but if asked would say i was a blue. School mates were mostly blues and pestered me to go with them.
Arsenal scored first, Tueart equalised and was then injured scoring another as we won 2-1. Dennis was carried off after his second -what a hero, and I went home singing about Dennis Chewit! Totally blown away by the atmosphere on the Kippax, was back the following Saturday and been a regular ever since.

At home to the rags Sept 1967. 8 years old, sat on a barrier in the old scoreboard end. Just shy of 63000 there that day.
Colin Bell scored to put us 1 up iirc, Charlton scored twice to win the game, hated ‘em from that day..... as my late Dad used to say, if they were playing in our garden I’d shut the f***in’ curtains!

Ah yes, but you must have been consoled by the result of the return game. ;-)
I used to nag my dad to take me to see Stanley Mathews after watching him in the 1953 cup Final,first time back in Manchester was at O Trafford 21/11/ 1953,my dad being a blue,took me to Maine Road to see City play WBA,a 3-2 defeat,so yes I,m a glory-hunter and I,ve brought up my daughters as blues,just sorry my dad isn’t,t around now to see HIS team “ruining football”.
