Watched first city game in 1988 as a 10 year old. All I remember is our keeper was completely bald and wore no gloves. Not sure what his name was?
Johnny Shaw,not that good,and if my memory serves me right,made way for Mel Gwinnet.First City game 80/81 season.

I first watched City the year that Torrey Canyon ran aground, Ali refused to go to Vietnam, The Beatles released Sgt Pepper's, and the Six-Day War began.

Can't recall which year that was, but I'm still watching 'em! :D

Never done this before
First game 1970, Exeter City 1 Cambridge U 0, still remember the goal going in despite being 8 at the time.

Then a five year gap cos we moved to Taunton.
First game 1975, but Exeter City 1 Cambridge U 2. And I still remember the goal too, despite being 9 at the time.
