My first game was in 1978 (I think – maybe 77) My dad took me when i was 7 or 8 and we sat on the old wooden benches on the left in the main stand looking onto the pitch. It was chucking it down. the game sticks in my head for three reasons:
1. King Kenny Clements broke a leg.
2. My first city goal was Asa Hartford scoring what seemed like a 20 yard header.
3. Even though we got beat 2-1 I loved it.

If this game was in 77 then it was the year after Dennis T scored his scissor kick to win the league cup. I wonder if anyone else has been going so long without seeing them win a (proper) trophy?
