Harry Catterick in the Cup final in '68. I remember nowt about the game ( I was 6 ffs ) but, for some reason, I have a memory of Cattericks' face after the game. tbh, I'm not sure if we even had a telly so it could be a memory from Pathe News or something from years after the game.

Brokenhearted that day, never forgave Jeff Astle FFS.
 

First ever memory is Franny Jeffers rounding the keeper and slotting into an empty. Can't remember who against. My second memory is Jimmy Flloyd Hasselbaink scoring against us for Leeds. They're probably two different games, but I was about 6 so I can't really remember.

First vivid memory is Everton vs West Ham. Kanoute scored against us first, then Di Canio showed the greatest sportsmanship I've ever seen, which I simply can't see happening these days. Paul Gerrard got clattered by one of their players, could've even been our defender, and Di Canio had an empty net to tap into, and he picked the ball up so Gerrard could receive treatment. Goodison singing Paulo Di Canio was a thing of beauty.

The other thing I remember about that game was Rigobert Song got booed every time he touched the ball, for the whole match. Can't recall why.
 
The earliest game I can remember was Boro away when i was 5, Franny Jeffers scored two and my Dad launched me up in the air nearly killing me.

The earliest memory I can vividly recall is playing 5 a side vs Gascoigne, Ginola, Kev Campbell, Idan Tal (ffs!) and Steve Simonsen (ffs x2!) when I was at the academy. Proper boss, Gazza was a great fella.

Watching the 1984 fa cup final. The other thing that springs to mind of that game is kenny jackett in short shorts, rather disturbingly.
 

FA CUP FINAL 1968 can only vaguely remember watching the game on our first tele (black & white) and constantly asking me arl fella which team was which - him consistantly shouting "son just look at the bloody shorts, ours are blue theirs are white !" I still daren't pluck up the courage to tell the daft begger everyone looked like they were playing in grey to me and I didn't know me Harvey from me elbow, aged six as I was then like.
