Born on a Wednesday. Beat Blackpool 4-0 at home the Saturday before and beat Portsmouth 50 at home the Saturday after. Second in Div 2 on my birthday. That was march 73'.
Don't you mean the 1st division? It changed again in '04/'05
(7th in the Ch'ship for me just before I was born having beaten Grimsby 1-0. Just after, we'd dropped to 10th following a 3-0 beating by Luton. I think I'm a jinx)
04.02.1986
Sitting 15th. Peaked at 3rd early on in the season and finished 13th.....Above Citeh
A fantastic home record that also included a 6-0 win against Chelsea I believe which effectively ended Chelsea's title chances.....A fantastic Easter for all Rs!

Sitting proudly second in the old Division Two (one point behind leaders Burnley, exactly how we both ended up 7 months later).
72-73, the first season I started going, and still my favourite, even more than 75/76, we seemed to win every home game by 4 or 5, in my memory at least.
Nearest date, beat Watford at home 5 -1. Won Div 3 South that season. In the FA Cup we were beaten in a 6th round replay by Derby. The season ?, 47-48
I was born on a Tuesday in April 1975 so the Saturday before was a home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 - 0.
The following week we lost 2 - 1 against Ipswich at Portman Road.
The thing that really upsets me most was the Bay City Rollers were No1 with Bye Bye Baby. If I was born a few weeks later it could have been a cool tune like Bohemian Rhapsody.

I was at that Millwall game Nines - plenty of trouble in the ground.
I think it was Rodney Marsh's first game for us too.
I met Alex Stepney a while back and reminded him of the score (he was in goal for Millwall) - he remembered it well.
Just been checking the results for that season and I have to say that it does look like a real cracker for us! Nice to notice also that on the exact day I was born in Paddington Hospital we beat Fulham a few miles down the road at Craven Cottage. What a welcome to the world!
Born the week after drawing 1-1 with Preston, and the day before losing 3-0 away to Sunderland.
Finished the season 5th in the old second division, one place behind Chelsea (I'd take that this year!!) and 4 points off 3rd place. With a much better goal difference, those 4 points would have seen us up!

11th in the old division 1 when I was born...played 2, won 1, lost 1. The day after I was born, we won to take us to 5th...finished 13th.
My year too. We played one league game in Jan and two in Feb. Beat Southend 1-0 on my birthday (8/4), and between 12th and 29th crammed in a further 8 games.
