Who was captain when you went to your first match?

[hallamblue]

I ticked Lyons but looking at that list it was Kenyon. However I loved Mick Lyons and didn't care for Kenyon so I'm leaving it!

Just asked my Dad this question and check out the reply...

What a question son, the very first game I remember was a pre-season warm up between the current squad and Everton vets at Bootle Cycle Stadium.
I was about 10 at the time, so around 1947. on the vets side was Dixie Dean and he was subbed at half time by teenager Dave Hickson, Dave took the game very seriously.
The first real game was Everton V Wolves in an FA cup replay, I was in the Gwladys street stand and Jackie Grant scored the winner in a 3-2 victory.
The club captain was Peter Farrell but I don't think he played that day so was think the captaincy was passed on to Gordon Watson, Gordon went on to become the sponge and bucket man and later the physio. I went to school with his son and delivered the paper to his house.

What a memory.

2 for 1 ....... 2010 Aug Home v Wolves ..... came over from Canada .
Arteta listed as matchday captain but was in the hospitality tent and got to meet + talk with Ratcliffe

 

[Bluebonic]

Can’t remember who we played even, my memory is so damaged by years of physical, mental and pharmaceutical self abuse! However, it would almost certainly have been Labby!

 

[manxtoffee]

Memory is getting a bit vague now but I'm sure it was Kev the rat, late eighties. Again a bit vague on the score but I think we won 2-0 against a very decent Forest side.

Missed a barrowload at Goodison and there has been rumours of the integrity of the officials in Athens,I posted in the classic matches thread the second leg a while ago,the footage of Alan whittle being totally wiped out in the penalty area is unbelievable,he’s about five yards in the box and he gives a free kick outside the area!!!

Was in the MS Paddock that 1-1 draw night with a load of Greeks in the seats immediately above us... they kept throwing pies down at us... lad near me got a hot meat pie right on the back of his neck, I thought he was gonna climb up and kill someone he was that angry

Don't blame the Greeks Andy,my first game that night,I was in the main stand aged five,now I'm not sure if my old fella got me a pie lol

I'm gonna give ya the benefit of the doubt, no Blue at his first game would lob a pie down on other Blues...
As Shirley Valentine would have said, "it was deffo dem Greeks"

It was 1996 so it was Dave Watson, his positional sense, organisation of the defence were brilliant and he was great in the air
