I came to the party relatively late (I moved to the area in the early 90's when I was posted to RAF Coltishall)
I was there too! It was my last game before going away to the middle east for 4 months, and every single person I met thought it hilarious to "Lets be 'avin you" me.Don't laugh, but my first and only game in person was Norwich City v Manchester City at Carrow Road, which funnily enough was the same game that Delia made a rousing speech at half time that is part of now part of folklore. I went along with a chap I worked with at Aviva Life at the time in data warehousing, Paul O'Rourke.
It's my New Year's Resolution to cross the puddle and take in a game this year!
I almost clicked “Report” under your comment expecting one of your write ups RicardoSome time in 1953.
In a tenuous link to your username, I was actually in Helsinki about 6 weeks ago!Feb 7 1976 NCFC 3 Arsenal 1 was my first ever game, went with my grandfather and father , got in for free under the turnstiles in the old main stand and squeezed in between them on the wood bench seats of that time - as a 6 year old it was my first experience of swearing as the bloke behind me kept shouting “wipe the sh#t out of your eyes referee” not much changes - atleast with a nice home win against a big London club the cushions didn’t get lobbed on the pitch at the end
Pretty dark this time of year, I just landed back on the iceberg after the warmer climes of North Norfolk,In a tenuous link to your username, I was actually in Helsinki about 6 weeks ago!
