I'm late developer in music and footie so this is going to look out of proportion!

 

first single, 'whole of the moon' waterboys no idea why..

 

first album, Queen Greatest Hits II, another strange choice, often say the first album I consciesously got was The Bends by Radiohead.

 

First Gig, Oasis Knebworth 1996, I picked a good one!

 

First footie game: Chesham v Grays 1991

 

I started watching Non league first oddly enough, the first big league game I saw was Spurs 4 Coventry 3, think Durie scored a hatrick but it was sometime ago,

[EFM's Librarian]

First single - Ashamed to say that I can't remember this, and therefore probably never will!

First Album- Vauxhall and I by Morrisey

First gig - Blur, Pulp, and Supergrass 1994 at Alexandra Palace (I was only 14!)

First footie game - Luton v West Ham I can't be sure of the exact details of this, but it was in the late eighties, and I'm pretty sure it ensure Luton stayed in the top flight. Particularly memorable because there was a pitch invasion at the end, which I joined in with, at the age of about 8! (I thought it happened at every game)

[EFM's Librarian]

I forgot my first City game, and that's probably because I have actually forgotten my first City game, CZ can you help?

[Bald_Eagle]

I too was at that Luton game, all I remember was a nice sunny day, the fact Roy Wegerley was playing, stupid little swipe cards to get in and a top plastic pitch invasion.

I was at that game, too Steve. Would've been the 1991/92 season I reckon. Towards the end of the season when Spurs were fighting relegation - not that it ever became a particularly realistic prospect.

Yes, I can! It was St Albans 4 Hitchin 1, on Boxing Day 1997.
