I was 12. My Dad picked me up from school and we drove straight to Wembley, so I'm wondering if I was till wearing my school uniform. After the game, a Munich fan gave me his red and blue flag, which I still have.

I was 7, and didn't have the slightest interest.
I only became hooked on football when I was 9, almost immediately after the very best time to be a West Ham fan ended. Fortunately, there were other good times.
In my defence, my Dad, although a West Ham fan, didn't really encourage me to follow him.
In his defence, I think he worked out that having me in tow at matches would've interferred with his drinking with his mates.

I think being all over Munich was attributable to the manager we had at the time. That was when managers used to come out and try score goals from the kick off and the more goals you scored meant the team you were playing very likely could not get back into the game. There’s a guy managing a team from Manchester that still uses these old fashioned tactics - even today. Oh and I was there but I’m not 70 or something so need to conserve my energy for when I am.

I was 14, don't remember too much about it, I must have been off of my head on glue.

Was 15 and yes like the others have said a great atmosphere remember a load of Germans in their lederhosen having a party down Olympic way.
Great banter in them days the krauts took their defeat well.

I was there at Wembley, with a German work colleague, who was also a member of the 1860 club. I was 20 years old.
Great night out and he bought the drinks and the meal.
It was my second final in a row, as I was there for the FA cup and, a year later, for the World Cup victory.

I was there aged 10
My first experience of Wembley and took my breath away and can remember it like it was yesterday
Also at Upton Park for the Lausanne and Zaragoza games
At that age I thought we won a cup every year

Was 13 year old went with my mate, yes we were allowed at that age to go to matches without an adult.
The atmosphere was amazing and I also missed out on the 1964 cup final, bloke was selling it at £25 and my old man wouldn't pay it.
But yes an amazing night and I too thought these European ventures would go on forever, getting home was a nightmare getting 100,000 fans home through Wembley Park tube station was not ideal

My dad was there. He died a couple of years back. It's the only thing that made me sad about getting to the final in Prague and getting tickets, he'd have loved to have been there with all the family.

I was twelve and there with my nine year old brother. A great night and a fantastic atmosphere with 90,000 east enders in the place.
We'd been to all the home games including the first against La Gantoise where if memory serves me well only 19,000 turned up. My dad was in Switzerland for the Lausanne game.
I've got to be honest, this Conference thing pales in comparison to the ECWC.
