Your first Spurs game

Interested to know people's first experience of seeing Spurs was: Mine was 3/11/86, we lost 2-1 to Wimbledon, it was raining, we had two players stretchered off (Graham Roberts, also sent off and Gary Stevens, decked by Fashanu as he scored the decisive goal - cunt). Mitchell Thomas was the...

Charidee shield 1981. Two all draw against the villa.

Spurs fans climbing Wembley to get in, youngsters like me down the front, large West Indian man offering anyone swigs from his whisky bottle, my old man accepted, hooked for life.

3-1 win vs Wimbledon.

Our team featured “legends” such as Dean Austin, Clive Wilson and Gerry McMahon.

Vinny Jones was playing that day for Wimbledon and loved being the pantomime villain, was laughing every time he was booed taking throw ins

I remember this quite well as it was the first game I went to with mates and no parent supervision. My mum was worried about crowd trouble as Wimbledon were a really dirty side and she thought that their fans would be cut from the same cloth. I reassured her this wouldn't be an issue on the basis of Wimbledon not having any fans!

Am told there were games before this, but the first one I can actually remember attending was a Football Combination game away to the scum in March '71. (0-0)
First League game was at home to Huddersfield in August '71. Won 4-1 and I can still see Chivers jumping majestically, to score with a header at the Paxton.
 
Sure I've already done this, but here goes. November 1969 v Sheffield Wednesday, won 1-0, Roger Morgan with the winner. Do not think he scored many, but don't remember much of the game TBH, but I do recall walking into the ground for the first time, took my breath away and straight away felt at home. Greaves' last season and Stevie's first. I was thirteen and next month will be my 50th anniversary.

April 1990 Vs Coventry. I was 9 and I still remember walking up to and into WHL for the first time. It was amazing.
A 3-2 win thanks to Stewart and Lineker (x2) goals.

QPR must have had a decent scout in East London back then.
Aside from the Morgan twins, I'm sure that Mick Leach also played for the E17 schools team.
 
Tottenham 1 - 1 Swindon, 23rd October 1993.

Jason Dozzel scored for us and we conceded a penalty. I was only 6 but I could tell it was an awful match! I was gutted as Sheringham was injured a few games before, A broken leg against Utd I think (could be wrong). Great day out with my old man and grandad though!
