My first as a 9 year old 1963 4-4 v Spurs

66 v Spurs 3-0 Bomber hat trick

67 v 3-2 Man City Bell Summerbee and Lee et al.

69 v West Ham 3-1

71 v Liverpool 1-0 (It was actually the 27th because BD was a Sunday)

73 v Villa 2-0

The Man City game and the return a few days later when we did the double over the League Champions elect was my favourite. From memory we went 2-0 up City got it back to 2-2 and Astle tapped in the winner in front of an ecstatic Brummie. Just got goose bumps just thinking about it.

Attendances were all 30,000+ against the Villa 44,000
Remember the Spurs game,I was only 8...first time I ever sat in the seats,using my Xmas money....I always thought that we won 4-3 ???...perhaps I bunked off early LOL
