Superior Acuña Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Norwich 3-0 in April 1995. I believe Beardsley, Cole and Fox scored - i think (i was 5. think that was my only game that season, but i started very regularly the next season, including some away games) My first away game was 3-1 at Everton in the 95/96 season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 autumn 1972 we beat Ayr United 2-0 in the Texaco Cup, Smith and Tudor; Macdonald missing 'injured'. I was one of 14,500. With respect to earlier post my grandad took my dad, age 11, to the 13-0 win. Remember a few matches mentioned on here, the Ayr match I remember following two transit loads of Ayr fans who caused mayhem including turning a car over on (the non pedestrianised) Bath Lane. In those days it was regarded as an integral part of being Scottish to cause as much bother as possible once south of the border. Was 7 at my first match.

Mr Logic Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Sept 15th 1973, Wolves @ home, 2-0. Howard and Natrass the scorers. Most memorable game, for all the wrong reasons.. 9th March 1974, Notts Forest 4-3 in the FA Cup @ home. The old Leazes in those days was rocking.

Guest alex Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Me Dad took me on January 1st 1983. 2-2 draw v. Carlisle with Keegan getting both our goals. Which would have made me 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I haven't got a clue. My dad took me to a couple when I was a nipper before we moved out the area for a bit. Asked him, but he hasn't got a clue either. Senial old sod. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 One of Keegans first games in the early 80s, 82 I think. Newcastle V Fulham we were losing with a few minutes to go and we went and banged two in. The place went fcking nuts, totally nuts. I was 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Against Southampton at home, August 1967. We won 3?0 and Gordon Marshall saved a penalty (which incident is the only thing I can clearly remember from the game). that makes me laugh Why? do you block out sigs or something Yep, and avatars too. And that ain't going to change just because I'm flattered that I've got so deeply under your skin that you've devoted yours to an obviously failed attempt to needle little old moi. Now, if you really are as old as I am -- old enough to have gone to his first match in the mid-1960s -- why don't you try acting your age instead of always snapping at my heels like some retarded, yappy mongrel? after your colossal boob ie the Stephen Spence business........if you were truly to act your own age you would come clean and admit that you are not such a big supporter as you make out, and people like me would respect you a bit more......same as if you were big enough to admit that you backing Souness was a sad mistake, as is the fact that the team were massively worse off for selling Craig Bellamy. I'm not really bothered how regular a supporter of the club you are Ozzie, if you saw those games in the 1960's but now live abroad or something and can't make it, thats fair enough. Just be honest and upfront about it. Instead of being such an idiotic WUM so often. Which you know you do, I suspect. This is why I found your post amusing. Yeah, I saw plenty of games in the late 1960s and early 1970s and I now live abroad. I've never once pretended otherwise. I also have a part share in some family season tickets and go to games when I'm back in Newcastle -- sadly less often than used to be the case since my father died a few years ago. As for the Spence thing, posted in haste and regretted at leisure, I admitted my mistake immediately. Get back to me on that one if you ever grow up enough to admit a mistake of your own. I'm not holding my breath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Home to Man City, early 50's. I think there wa about 50000 people there. Lots of great games over the years, I was there when we won the Fairs Cup in 1969, tears rolling down my cheeks. Malcolm MacDonalds debut against Liverpool when he scored a hat trick. The atmosphere was incredible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not holding my breath. The thing about the Spence comment, is just that it confirms you can't really tell people you know best in certain circumstances. And when I'm wrong, I will admit it. But I was completely correct in everything I said about Souness, and how far backwards he along with his sale of Bellamy and his purge of the so called "cancer" was taking the club. No big deal that you live abroad and don't see many games, most of us have had periods like this and credit to you for admitting it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
