room0035 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) 32 years watching the Owls mainly home but some away, I have seen premier league, championship, league 1, fa cup, league cup, Johnstone paint trophy, England b internations, under 21 internationals, European championships, Eufa cup games, inter toto cup, Anglo Italian cup and the steel city cup all at Hillsborough not bad for a bloke from stannington. The worst match was when Denmark had the kop in Euro 96 red and white on the kop just wrong but I was sat behind schmichael when davor shucar chip him what a goal against possible the best keeper I have seen not including Chris woods of course Edited October 21, 2017 by room0035 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striggy Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 First that I can remember went with my dad in 1965 when I was 6, no idea of who we played or the score, just remember the experience.. Still get nervous and as excited as a kitten every match. "nobody told me there would be days like these!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 First match I recall watching was the '66 Cup Final on telly. Absolutely heartbroken. It prepared me well! First live match was Feb 1967. 51 years of suffering! Oh yes what's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing time after time and expecting a different result!

punkskaphil Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Became a fan in 1986 and started collecting the Panini Football '87 stickers to familiarise myself with the players. First match I saw on TV was the game against Spurs in the snow in 1988. First match I went to was at Palace in 1990. First visit to Sheffield was for a game, also against Palace, in 1994.

Weshallovercome Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 My first game was in 61, think it was against Burnley, not entirely sure to be honest. But the one defining memory of that day was walking up the stone steps in the middle of the North(my dad and two uncles had season tickets in the same seats for over 20 years) then getting to the top and seeing the pitch and ground in all it's glory, it was awe inspiring and took my breath away, still get the same feelings now on the rare occasions I get to visit, getting tingles just thinking about it. Hillsborough is both magnificent and beautiful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
