My first ever game was back in 1995 against Notts County in an FA Cup 3rd round replay.
I remember the week before the game my Dad showing me the tickets, i was so excited even just seeing them, I couldn’t believe i was finally going to Maine Road. It was a cold January evening and I went along to the match with my dad and my brother. I’ll never forget the moment i first walked up the steps and saw the hallowed turf of Maine Road, the shear size of it was amazing. That moment is one i’ll never forget and one i’ll treasure till the day i die! The game wasn’t bad either, we won 5-2, with 4 goals from Uwe Rösler (who became an instant hero of mine) and Gaudino got the other. Oh, and i can’t forget singing the legendary chant of “Uwe, Uwe Rösler” and Blue Moon for the first time either. After the game we got a chippy on the way back to the car, and this became a tradition for me, my brother and my dad for many years after. Me and my brother still go to most games. Thanks Dad for making me a Blue!
