Danny Wilson. And he scored…….. against Palace!

Perfect first game!

Howard Wilkinson, Brian Tawse, Nobby Lawton, Kit Napier

But Dave Turner was my first player that I remembered after my first game.
The first two that sprang to my mind, too! Tiger Tawse and bow-legged Howard.

Powney, Dawson, Napier, Napier, Spearritt, Sully, Lawton, Turner, Smith, and of course (a bit later) Harry Wilson

Sammy Nelson.

He happened to play left back and the first game I went to I was in the chicken run and we were attacking the south stand so he was the player nearest to me. Kevin Keegan played in the game as well, for Southampton, it must have been 1982.

I should also mention Dave Hollins. He married my cousin Jackie and used to stand between a couple of jumpers in Queens park for me and my mates to take pot shots. Happy days.

Graham Moseley as I was awful at football but thought I was good in goal and he quickly became the one I wanted to be.
Also Steve Foster (pre head band/towel days) sticks in my mind.
My Brother ( who could play football) would probably say Lawro and Ward, although his opinion doesn't matter as he used to wear a Spuds shirt to games!

Ward and Horton in late 1979. Battered by Liverpool but Albion life sentence started that day!

Wasn’t it a brilliant time. They were our first heros!!
Throwing my scarf into the eaves of the south stand, eleven years old, transported to a world of wonder.
