First match played after you were born

[TGW89]

On Saturday, I marked a quarter of a century on this planet (how depressing is that?)... oh well, at least the lads gave me the perfect belated present.

Anyroad, this thread is simples - what was the first match played after you were born?

For me it was the 8th April 1989, a 2-0 defeat at Highbury, but we bounced back against Charlton at GP a few days later.

everton-mad.co.uk has historical seasons if you don't know off the top of your head.

according to that site the 88 season started on the 27th August 1988 and we beat newcastle 4-0 at home, i was born a day later. The next game after my birth was Coventry away and we won 1-0. I can only assume we must have been top of the table then just after i had been born.

...I probably went to many of the games noted here. Unfortunately, the Blues lost away to Luton soon after I was born in 1956 with a team that included the likes of Peter Farrell, Wally Fielding and Tommy Jones. Baggy shorts and all.

Was my first trip to Wembley that.

An away loss to Wimbledon in '90. Apparently has the distinction as the fewest number of people that showed up to see an Everton league game that year, at 6,411.

Think I was one of the few at that game then!
