Your first Reds game

4 - 2 win against Mansfield in league cup I think, it was after extra time too, my neighbour took me on a school night, my mum went mental when I got in at 10.30 ish, was hooked, my dad was a rugby league fan, so never been to football and followed wolves, because liked colours , sadly for me it was a cold night and my mum made me wear my wolves scarf, got some very strange looks on terrace, especially given Mansfield colours

 

my mum and dad had no idea about nowt to be fair, she once sent me to Barnsley municiple with my all my odds and sods golf clubs in my grans tartan shopping trolley, we got thrown off at about hole 7,as we was sharing clubs and the thin wheels on shopping trolley were marking the course, sorry about that off topic memory, but it just came back to me ,wasnt as bad as my mates mum, who used to knit his swimming trunks though

 

2 all draw against West Brom in 1990. Think it was the season they'd beat us 7-0 at the Hawthorns, so was thinking we'd get thrashed again. A Saville equaliser in the last few minutes.

 

Bradford ar home in 1997. Think we won..?

My only memory is getting a toby tyke chocolate bar

 

Every following match must have seemed a real anti climax! I might not remember scores and dates ( though I do for that match) but I remember that knot in my stomach before the match started, which thankfully settled once Wilkinson scored and for me his was the promotion goal and I could then enjoy the match!

 

Honestly I was so young then that I don't really remember any games until around 2003. The millenium stadium is my most nostalgic day out!

 

I was in the first form at Holgate when we played Leicester in 1961, so you must have been either one or two years behind me, depending on what precisely you mean by "the year after". Jimmy Greenhoff was in the 4th form when I started and captained Barnsley Boys to the English Schools Trophy final that year.

 

I started Holgate in September 1962. Missed the first two weeks because I had German measles so it was very daunting going to a new school where I knew no one in my class. I started in 1 Locke with Jack Livesey OBE as form teacher. Year after I was in 2B with Norman Goddard. I think Jimmy Greenhoff was in the 5th or 6th form when I started. I hardly knew anyone outside my own year save for the boys who did "Top of the Form"
