Got loads on VHS from 80s and 90s, a few full games (West Ham and Forest home in 86 for example), mostly clips though

 

My first game that. WHU at home 86! Great memories, hot dogs, terraces, stinky toilets, the smell of breweries and the pink after the match. Happy Days.

One of the best games live on tv I can remember. Atmosphere was fantastic throughout, despite the fact there was probably only 22-23k there. Loved the benches, seeing the fans jumping up and screaming at opposition players. Different days altogether.

Totally, I was only 8 at the time, so granted I was'nt fully taking much of it in.  Where it all started for me... :)

Yeah I was in my teens and loving just going to games and knowing we weren't that great and not likely to win anything, but enjoying it with my mates all the same.

 

In this particular game, I think I have watched that 5-10 minute period when the score goes from 0-0 to 2-0 so many times ("Thomas is waiting in the middle!!!"). To this day, I wish Goddard scored with that 1-1 :lol:

I remember Goddard being decent. I remember Paul Stephenson. Mainly because my sister fancied him and spent most my days at Benwell, trying to catch his eye lol

Anyways, good times, I always think of the Robson quote about falling in love when I think of that game...Anyones first game, hits hard, right?!

 

Hopefully a 4-0 win today. Enjoy mate!
