First game I took my wife to and I paid good money to get her in the Southern Stand - She left Hillsborough a Chelsea fan. Weirdly, we're still married.

flying-owl Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) September 1966 at home to West Ham.....as a 10 year old, I was gob smacked by the crowd but I loved it!! Only a few years ago I found out that World cup winners Moore, Hurst & Peters were playing for West Ham that day. We lost 2-0 but I was hooked.
