Most memorable Football matches as a fan/kid

[bergeroo]

Tighty!

My first ever match was at Filbert Street. Leicester 0-2 Port Vale. I liked that stadium a lot

Eso!

I have a softspot for Walsall for sure. I went to school with your current captain Adam Chambers and his twin James who recently retired. Used to play in the school team with them. My proudest moment in football is me and my mate Reno beating them in a game of two on two football when we were about 16 in the local park - a tactical masterclass.

I was lucky my dad was a Wednesday fan and went all over watching them with him from about 1972 onwards.

So difficult to pick most memorable but these are up there :

Wednesday winning League Cup against Man Utd in 1991

Wednesday destroying Blackburn in League Cup semi away, 1993, on live TV - one of the most complete halves of football I have seen any team play. Magical stuff, stood in the old away end before they replaced it.

An FA Cup second replay against Crystal Palace. A night match at Villa Park. Won in extra time and Brian Joicey scored a hat trick - around 1974/75 I think.

The Sheffield FA Cup semi at Wembley. It should have been 10-1!!!

Just four off the top of my head.

 First visit to the old Wembley in 1970 for the League Cup Final City v West Brom:



United v City 1974 and the famous Denis Law backheel and United relegation:



Leeds v City 1978 FA Cup 3rd round  ... game had everything, atmosphere, Leeds players fighting, pitch invasion and lots of trouble which was normal at that time:

Went to a lot of Leics and Forest matches as a kid as i lived in the area (best mate at school's dad had a spare forest season ticket and my dad had a spare leics one so we pretty much used to go to whatever game was on every week).  Tighty might remember some of these.

Leicester 3-3 v Scousers. April 1983.  First ever game i went to.  Braces for Lineker and Dalgeish and a 30 yard corker from Andy Peake (Tighty probably the only guy to remember him) made for a insane introduction to watching football live as a kid.

Leicester 2-0 v Chelsea to stop them going up to the then Division 1.  10,000 Chelsea fans were there and not happy.  Pretty scary day as a kid.  Most memorable thing however was it was the day of the Hillsborough disaster,  April 1989

Leicester 6-1 v Sheff Weds 3 Jan 198x.  Was my bday and my mum had arranged for the players to represent me with a signed football and a great result to boot.  Quality bday.

Leicester 3-2 v Swindon no idea on the date (late 80s i think might have been midweek as well)  We left the ground at 2-0 down with 5 mins left to miss the traffic and by the time we got back to the car at the old cattle market it was 3-2.  I have never left a game early since.

Forest v Liverpool - Pretty sure this was the game Forest beat Liverpool's 40 odd game unbeaten streak.  Can't remember the date.  Pretty sure it was very early 90's.  Quality game with loads of all time great players on show for both teams.

Leicester 2-1 v Liverpool 3rd September 1986.  Gary Mac scored a free kick for the ages.  Russell Osman scored the other Leicester goal.  Can't remember who scored the scouse goal.  Was my first day at senior school and a cracking way to round it off seeing Leicester beat a quality scouse outfit.

Leicester 3-0 Manure 6th September 1986.  Manure were a middle table side in this era but this rounded off a cracking week for me.

this was the all time great andy peake game

very good young midfielder, never quite went to where he should have done in the game

currently? U17 coach at Leicester in the academy

My first ever game was at The County Ground to see Northampton Town v Swindon.
Two goals each from Frank Large and Peter Kane in a 4-0 win.
The local sports paper headline was Cobblers Give Swindon Large Kaning.

Most memorable game,

Northampton Town 2-8 Manchester United

Bournemouth v Man Utd FA Cup 5th round 1989

Luther Blissett's leg wasnt quite long enough so a reply at Old Trafford. Two great days out.

Going to look a bit of a saddo but didn't Mark Venus score in the 1986 game not Osman?  Remember it on Sportnight as a kid.

I'm wrong.  Just found it on YouTube.  Could have sworn it was Venus.  Would have blown 500k on who wants to be a millionaire!
