Rush scored twice.

My first match was a Swan Vesta in the 70's.

Ok - it was actually the league (Milk?) Cup Final v. West Ham - finished 1-1. 1982?

League cup final v. West Ham?
Must have been the 1-1 in 1981? Liverpool won the replay   2-1 at Villa Park.

Mine was away to Soton in 1982. I was 11. All I really remember about the match it was a boiling hot March day and we lost 3-2 with I think David (baldy) Armstrong scoring the winning goal.

Emlyn Hughes Testimonial 1977(?) against Man City.

My dad used to sell the development association scratchcards in his newsagents shop in Bootle. Every month or so they had a prize draw for the agents.

Anyway my dad won two complimentary tickets for the testimonial and an Hitachi Clock Radio off our sponsors at the time.

Invite came through to collect the prize at the trophy room and to take a guest.

So I went along, my dad wasn't really interested in footy, it's the only game we ever went to together.

After the game, we went to get his clock radio, and they had the League Championship trophy, Charity Shield and European Cup out on a side table. I spent the rest of the evening grinning at the trophies (especially the dent in the league trophy) and was allowed the hold the Euro Cup.

Next season my brother-in-law who'd just married my sister started taking me to the game. That really solidified my support for the club. Though I really started following them in 1974 when they won the F.A. Cup. Most probably to annoy my elder brother who became a bluenose.

Or should I put down Formby v Oldham in the FA Cup as my first match (can't remember whether it came before or after my first Liverpool game).

Anyway Formby made it to the 1st round proper, they even got on the traditional Grandstand preview. I remember peering through a knothole in the wooden fence, then being allowed to walk through the "turnstile" to watch the last 15 minutes.

Inside it was just like full grown Subbuteo. Strange wooden stand, white rail fence round the pitch, and a temporary t.v. tower in the corner of the ground.

Their nickname, of course, was The Squirrels.

Just looked it up, it was 1973, I was 6! Blimey just had a thought, Formby might have been responsible for me becoming a Liverpool fan. I guess an embryonic interest in footy was created, and as we won the cup in the same season I guess it went on from there. Thank christ the blueshite didn't win that year.

My first football match will have been a Bradford game many many years ago(a friends birthday party used to be going to the match)

First Newcastle match was the relatively "boring" one when it got re-arranged coz Diana had died.  Owen getting the winner.  I was stood towards the back of the Kop.( I was standing as I was against the metal back of the stand)

First ever match was the friendly last year in June when Liverpool went to the Far East and played Singapore.  Went to the extent of sneaking me wife into (who was 8 months preggers) the country, and forcing her to line up hours just to get into the stadium. (What can I say, she wanted to accompany me  ;D)

First ever 'real' match was also last year in November against Sunderland, when I finally made my pilgrimage to Anfield. Little did I know then that was the last match Robbie played for Liverpool. Also, little did I know then, that was the last time Heskey scored for Liverpool  ::). (So far)

If we don't count the friendly I saw back in 1986, it was the Watford game at home where we lost 0-1. :( I liked the 1986 game better...LFC won 3-1 against a local team.

That is interesting Motty.  I took my little lad to a match a few years ago.  His first.  It was a draw, I can't remember the team we were playing - but it was a 0-0 draw.  He is convinced Liverpool won 5-0.  He was only 5 and I am sure he was counting how many time the ball went in the net during the pre match kick around.  Still he enjoyed himself.  Just hope his mates don't take the piss in later life.

Liverpool 0 - West Ham 0 - Around 1986

Typical, I spend long earned pocket money heading up to Liverpool, have to keep schtum on the way up, and they couldn't even score for me!  ;)

Lovely place, though!

I was around 10 years of age, my old man took my brother and I to Stamford Bridge.  It was the early-mid eighties.

It would have been great but for two things:

1) the only tickets he could get were right at the bottom of the OLD SHED.  Not a place for a fan of the opposition to be back in those days.  I was warned before going about the potential danger to my fathers health should I cheer my team on... this didn't matter in the end because:

2) Chelsea buried us.  Kerry Dixon the man who did most damage.  Kerry, I hate you... but my old man owes you a drink.

Southampton v Liverpool 86.

Baldy Armstrong made it 1-0 Southampton.

I think King Kenny equalised and Rushie finished them off.

I couldnt believe my heroes were actually real...

First match - 1999 versus Newcastle United.

We won 2-1 , with goals from Titi and a last min Redknapp winner. fantastic day, it was my 21st b'day also - shit seats tho - right in the corner. But it didnt really matter.

The evening before that I was taught the words to PST in the bar, and MADE to remember them for the match. However nobody bloody well sang it!!!!

Mine was Palace 89

I wrote a 'OBAHK' type thing the other week about it.  Its shit, but sound for this post

After reading One Boy And His Kop by Peter Etherington, I have 'copied' that style to recreate my first game:

It had been a hard day at school. Do you know what it's like to be Ian Rush? Hard. I had to lead the line. I scored four. We beat Everton 15-14 with a last minute goal from Smithy, I mean, Aldo. The blues say Mr. Ray blew the whistle for end of play-time before it went in, but they always cheat.

"See yer in abar 20 minutes Piercy. Comin' down the cage?" Aldo asked.
"Yeh, probably, but Liverpool are on the telly so I'll 'ave to get back for that." The Reds were playing Palace today. We'd beat them. At this age we'd beat anyone.

As I slumped on the coach I noticed two pieces of paper with the liverbird on them. Ah, something from Liverpool I thought. Maybe a book.

"Guess what I got today?" Me dad begun
"What? Those? What are they"
"Tickets for tonight."
"Oh, well in"
"So, do you wanna come?"

Me? Me? Anfield? I'd only saw it on the telly. I had been there many times in my dreams. We used to win 10-0 against Everton every night. Obviously, me and Rushy upfront. We'd both get 5 each. And the fans would sing "Piercy, Piercy..." Anyway back to the story.
"Er..yes"
"Okay 'urry up"

I walked out with my scarf on. Smithy (Aldo) was about to knock for me.

"Where are yer goin'?"
"The Match" i sayed in the loudest voice I could.
"Fuck off. Oh, sorry..."

I went to my Nan's who is a blue. At the age I was it was weird. How could someone in my family be a blue? She was well winding us up. Well...

So, here I am five years old, clinging on to my Dad in a pub near Anfield. He's singing Poor Scouser Tommy and I am singing it too. Well moving my lips. Didn't want to seem out of place. The walk up Walton Breck Road was bad. There's Anfield. Would it be like I imagined?

We got into the Kop and I was amazed. How could the grass be so green. The cage never had this kind of grass. This was amazing. Number nine Ian Rush! The man who a few hours ago I was imitating is now only a few metres away. Obviously, when I go into school, Rushy brought me onto the pitch and told me he was my new bezzie!

And, how about it for a first game? 9-0! In fact, once we got to 7 I wished we wouldn't score. I had a cup of hot chocolate, and was scared that the cup would go flying. So, in went number 8. And there it goes! The cup flew right down and I was very scared that the fella would chase me down. I thought he'd look for me!

When John Aldridge threw his shirt into the Kop, I thought it was Rush. So, next day the school was enthrilled in my night:

"So what happened?"
"I told yers Rush brought me on, and said I'll be a player soon."
"And..."
"Well he threw his shirt in the crowd and I got it. I'll bring it in tomorra"
"Okay"

We beat the Blues again, this time I scored 5, with a suspicion of handball. These Blues cheat all the time though, dont they?

First day of season 86/87 at Newcastle.  Dad's mate had Newcastle season tickets and he was away on holiday, so there I was with me Mam in the Newcastle end (side).  Liverpool won 2-0 with goals by Rush at either end of the game.  More importantly.........

it was Mike Hooper's debut.

Yes, read it and weep.  I was there!
