Is it possible that between every member on the forum we can have a short paraphrased commentary on the oldest game one of us ever attended? i wonder who attended the oldest game..!

Obviously this will work in reverse order.

I'll start

The very first game i ever attended to memory was this one

I remember sitting in the Bullens road, on my own as mate of mine give me a ticket. I was about 15 i think, and i remember vividly as Paul Furlong scored to make it 3-3 i was gutted. Still got the ticket too.

My first match was Sheffield United Everton at Bramall Lane in the Rumblelows cup.

Lost 2-1.

Was horrendous.

1993.

I'm certain some will mate.

But I remember Pat Nevin scoring from a cross right in front of me.

I've though it was ON since that moment.

My first game was actually a friendly against Hearts at Tynecastle but that was my first Goodison game.

Sat 23 Mar 1991 Everton 0 - Forest 0 - total non-event can't even remember a single thing about the game apart from it was still terraced in the Street end.

Not the best start to supporting the blues, maybe it was an omen

Sorry to go off topic I remember that one too - Chelsea fans chanting your only here for your vouchers (just before '95 cup final) and one of their goals was off-side

Everton 1 Spurs nil(I think) around 1948/9. Spurs team I think included Ted Ditchburn in goal, and Les Duquemin. Everton team included, probably Farrell, Eglington and T.G. Jones. Years later I was working near White Hart Lane(sometime in the early 80s) and went into Les Duquemins newsagents...he told me to call at the newsagents in the next street, because there was somebody running it I would like to meet. It was Wally'Nobby' Fielding.
