Happy to oblige. Hopefully there's somebody out there who can cheer me up in the same way - I was eight when I went to my first match (against Everton at Burnden and we lost 3-0). Start as you mean to go on....

65th year for me, though my military career made me a part timer. First match 9th March 1946 but don't remember it apart from reading subsequent articles about the "Burnden disaster". 8)
