What was my first game?

Someone asked me the other day about the first game I ever watched at St. James Park.
I know it was the early seventies, but all I can remember is that D*ck Plumb took a penalty, the ball hit the crossbar (St. James Road end) and rebounded almost to the halfway line (although in reality it was probably nowhere near that far)

I'd be really grateful if someone could tell me what game this was please.

Just like the old days...
Mmmm, tough one.

In 1971/72 he wasn;t here, and in 72/73 Fred took and scored a Pen when we beat the Gulls on Boxing day 3-2 in front of 11,296.

However, on Jan 6th 1973 when Fred went off injured, D*ck scored a pen at home to Mansfield, so I assume it could have been around then if he kept Pen duties....

So was that my first City goal? We need a proper match report.
