Don't know if some has already done a thread for this.
But when and where was everyone's first game?

For me, Middlesborough at home 1990 we lost 1-0, anyone remember that one?  Was aged 3!

    First ever game The Football League v The Rest of the World in 1987. Maradonna ran the show to a chorus of boos.

    Next game was Charlton Liverpool at selhurst in 1990 when rosenthal got his hatrick.

    Was a great game.  From my faded memory the Football league had Ogrizivic, Robson but cant really remember the others. The beat a team containing Lineker, Maradonna, Jorghino, Platini.

    - I remember that one, I think it was 2002.  We had Konchesky sent off, and we 2-0 up... then it went  horribly wrong.  Back when Carlton Cole was tipped for big things.

    My first game was Charlton 4-2 West Ham.  Great game, sat in the North Stand (my dad  and I borrowed someone else's season tickets for the match).  I had absolutely hated football until that game, never looked back since!  Of course, we did  end up getting relegated.  The next game I saw was away to Leeds when we lost 4-1.  Our goal was a classic by Paul Mortimer, but I didn't see it because I was daydreaming.

    1st game was an infamous Millwall v Villa match where the referee (Burtenshaw?) was beaten up by the home fans at the end of the match. I was only 9 or 10 at the time and I thought this must happen at all games.

    First CAFC game was a 2-1 home loss to Bristol City in '68. I got hooked on the following home game where we beat Hull 5-1 and took a particular liking to Charlie Wright who was playing up to the crowd. Apart from Charlie Wright's antics it was only at this point that I realised that Charlton was my local League club (lived in Sidcup at the time) - these things plus the fact that I liked Bobby Charlton sealed a lifetime addiction.

    It was some time just before Curbs left. Early that season. 
    I have a terrible memory.

    First ever game of football I went to would've been when I was about10 or 11 years old - my sister used to take me along. That would've been in 1968/69. Couldn't tell you any more than that.

    Stopped going regularly when I was about 15 and the next time I went to a game I was in my 30s. I remember thinking in that gap I'd gone from being younger than all the players to being older than all the players (but not the ref!).

    Bradford at home in 1997 I think? The game with a Steve Brown thunderbolt and that Mortimer goal.

    I've never been all that sure about my first game. 
    It was about 1972 and I was 10 or 11. Me & a few mates used to bunk in over the concrete fence near a concrete toilet block. I'm pretty sure it was against York City and we lost 4-0.
    I would really appreciate any help with the details, or did I dream it? The old memory is fading fast.

    31st. March 1951 aged 5: CAFC  0-1 Pompey. Yes, this has been discussed before and I think I've got competition from Grandpa, Adrian, and someone else (sorry, can't remember the name). Now I've looked again at the above and daveroan's got a year on me! I feel younger already.
