    I think I was there. Stan Collymore stood out like a sore thumb. Quality. The same day the Grand National was void.

    Was that the first home game of the 73/74 season after we'd won the FA Cup? I believe that was my first game

    It is awful to admit it, but sometime in the early 60s, Brown manager I think
    I do remember us playing Manure, with Best, Law and Charlton in their side.

    Sunderland v Man City. It finished 1-1. Peter Reid and Quinny played for Man City that day.

    Mid 80's with my parents. Was either 0-0 or 1-0 to SAFC against either Bradford or Crystal Palace. I'd only been about 6-7 years old. My lasting memory was Gary Owers bombing down the wing. He looked our only decent player.

    Just Google it and it was probably first game at home 73/74 v Orient drew 1-1 with the wonderful dashing Billy Hughes equaliser on 74 minutes. Attendance 28,211

    My first game was a 1-0 win against Bradford City. John MacPhail scored for us. Could have been the same game

    23rd August 1958. Travelled with uncle n cousin. First game outside top division. 3 bloody 1 we got beat. I got a clip cos team in red n white scored and I shouted. I went to see Don Kitchenbrand but my first fav player to see was Colin Grainger. I’ve been a jinx ever since I think. Still it’s been great

    I'll go against the flow here ... we actually won my first game! 1-0 against Oxford United at home, December 1975, Porterfield scored in the last minute.

    Lincoln City, the season before (yes we got relegated for the first time ever) was my first full season, tho' I had been going off and on for 3 of 4 years before that with my old man.
