Just after Xmas 1969, us away at WHL. Moore, Hurst, Peters and a young Trevor Brooking who hadn't been in the side very long. Greaves and Gilzean up front for them, Jennings in goal. We won 2 - 0, Hurst & Peters. Greaves missed a pen for them.

Maidstone 0 - 0 Blackpool. My father took me as he supports Blackpool, and it was easily the most bored I've been in my life. My step dad took me to my first West Ham match a week after. No question as to which father I prefer!

Things I remember most from that day;

Standing amongst loads of pissed blokes. The smell of beer, burgers and farts was astounding.
Seeing a few kncuklesdusters on the floor as we were leaving.

First match I ever went to was Charlton 3 Sunderland 2 in the days of Hales and Flanagan around 1977 I think.
First West Ham was another 3-2 thriller against Middlesbrough in 1981.

I was at the Arsenal game. Woodcock scored for them after controlling it with his hand. I remember Martin going off for treatment to a head injury and the Arsenal fans thinking he was sent off, but that might have been the next season.
