Woolwich at home 1986, 1-0 to the Tottenham. 12 years old, face pressed against that old blue fence, Hoddle came to take a throw-in and looked me in the eye, I got goosebumps, he was my hero.

That was my second game.1970 home to Utd 2-2, top game, legends from both sides on pitch, plenty of mud very little grass, 50k + crowd, great atmosphere.
I'm sure that was the first game I went toThat was my second game.
First was against Sheffield Wed on 1 Nov 1969, Stevie's first season and Greavsie's last. Roger Morgan scored the only goal. Don't really remember much of the actual game, but still remember the feeling of walking into the ground and feeling immediately at home. I stood under the Shelf, right at the front. Entrance via the Boys' entrance cost three shillings and sixpence in old money - about 17p! The team were Jennings, Want, Knowles, Mullery, England, Beal, Morgan, Greaves, Pearce, Gilzean, Perryman. The attendance was 31,655 and me . Kick off was 3pm on a Saturday - happy days!
you either have a phenomenal memory, or the programme.....That was my second game.

Ardiles was in charge at the time yes. I distinctly remember Anderton getting injured or was it Barmby? Took forever for the game to get going again though.Was Ardiles in charge for this game or had the meltdown with venables not happened yet? looks like Stewart & ruddock have fucked off to liverpool but barmby is still there I thought he went as well.
Came 8th in the League, won the League Cup & got to the semi-final of the UEFA cup (lost to Liverpool - must have been on pens as we appear to have drawn 2-2 on agg?)

Spurs - Woolwich 2-2
Unfortunately the day they secured the league at the Lane..I remember how much better they were, we still had our chances. I remember that they gifted a clear cut chance that we wasted through Kanoute. They were winning until the 90th minute when the fuckwit that was Lehmann pushed Keane into the net and we were given a penalty. 2-2 and ecstatic celebrations. After that, they had some mad celebrations of course, we were gone pretty much directly after the final whistle.
