My Boro Debut

April 68.
3-1 QPR.
How green that pitch was, emerging from the East stand stairs.
Oh yes. It gave me goosebumps as a kid. Holding my dad's hand and seeing the crowd and the worlds greenest pitch for the first time . It was amazing.
I was in the chicken run and had a box to stand on so I could see over the wall.
Loads of dad's made boxes or steps for the kids to stand on.
Happy days.
 
Home to crystal palace '89. Lost 2-3. They had Wright and Bright up front, I think. Probably had Southgate in defence too. Only thing I remember about the boro was the amount of peroxide blondes we had on the pitch.
 
Notts forest at home, 3rd feb 79 in the east stand taken by my uncle, when mark procter equalised he forgot to pick me up!!!!, certainly lit a fire in me, by the way anyone have or knows were to get a programme of the match to frame for the man cave?
 
V Oxford in 1969. We won 2-0. Red and gold shirts on that green pitch with the floodlights on as it was a night game. Immediately hooked!
