I’ve thought and thought about this but I honestly cannot remember all I do recall is it was 1971 goal was scored towards the city end and was by blues we won the game 3-1 but have no idea of time of year or anything as I was a very young kid back then sitting right down the front of the kop with my feet through the iron bars and I was just in awe of the size of the crowd and the noise it was so exciting I just kept looking back behind me at the mass of people!
Yeah, was there that night - magical. Think my first game would have been around 1975, maybe the season before. You don't think at the time, but wish I'd kept that first ticket stub or programme.
Paul Peschisolido against Wolves in 1993. 2-2 draw. Andy Saville got the second. Really awful season. I was 8 years old and my Dad inflicted me with being a Blues fan for life by giving me hope when we came back from behind to draw.

Bob Latchford
Yeah could have been the Fulham game ,thanks for putting that up
I haven’t got a clue now. The first one I remember was Geddis in a 1-0 v ManCity in the 85-86 season
Freddy Pickering 14 October 1967
2-2 Portsmouth
I remember having the same feeling about the tea from the bloke with the tank on his back.
Thank goodness for Bovril after that.
Good memories
It was Cardiff 1965 but I can't remember who the scorer was.
My first game was a reserve game against Northampton in 1968. My grandad took me and I’m pretty sure it was a comeback game for Trevor Hockey but I have no idea who scored.
Sadly I have no idea. Neither do I have any detailed memory of my first game. My only ‘memory’ is of feeling a combination of fear and exhilaration when we scored! Despite the terracing, all those people rushing downwards toward the pitch, jumping and screaming. Talk about an indelible mark being left on a very innocent 8/9/10 year old from Solihull! That, and the piss running down the terraces from the ‘toilet’ in the top corner of the Kop!😃
In terms of players, the earliest player I remember noticing and asking about, was Steve Whitton.
