I was given 2 tickets from a mate at the local butchers but at 12 was too young to go on my own. My elder brother took me and i remember it was Alex Stepney’s it was the first game where banners were banned, we lost 1-0 and Dennis Law and Alan Oakes had a fight on the edge of the box, the report in the pink said that oakes was the more sluggish of the 2 punchers – and that was all that was said! We were in the old score board end which had a white picket fence and if you were at the bottom your head was level with players feet. Can’t remember who scored but the city fans mercilessly chanted about Alex Stepney having big ears, something like, ‘come fly with me Alex Stepeny’ and Charltons a skinhead was another chant. I remember the cup final too when the supporters were asked to curb the bad language and the City fans made some creative adjustments, like he’s here he’s there, we’re not aloud to swear Tommy Booth, and ‘the ref’s a naughty boy the ref’s a naughty boy. But i will never forget that first game… the ground was horrid and I have loved the kippax ever since!!
