That Palace game on Easter Monday of Kelvin Morton and the FIVE penalties circa 88/89.

Lincoln in 2000, won 3-1 after going 1-0 down!

I was 12 and just remember it kicking off in our end after 4 Lincoln fans celebrated their goal in the front row. Next away wasn't much friendlier.....Chesterfield!

Bradford City in c1971. I got my first introduction to a northern town on the way in to get beat 2 1. We went 2 0 down before Kit Napier pulled one back. We still lost and for the next game, John Napier was dropped and Ian Goodwin brought in. Henderson was dropped and Murray went to right back. Great managerial changes by Saward which led to promotion but that was as good as it got.

Palace Boxing Day 1980 or 81 - the one where the coaches were kept back because of a stabbing and were then given a police escort out of there. Horrible day. No idea of the score either.

Gillingham 1963/4. Lost 1-0.
No segregation in those days, so it was really weird hearing another home crowd noisily supporting their team. Especially when they scored.
Roy Jennings was sent off - another first for me to see a sending off. Kept expecting the referee to call him back as he trudged along some sort of walkway to get to their 'tunnel'.
 




Jayne Mansfield and I had the terrible job of retrieving lobsters from up her bum.

Oops .. Sorry.. Wrong thread.

First away game was Semi final at Highbury age 12 #gloryhunter
But I don't count that as it was a neutral game and so was the final.

First proper away game was Peterborough in 86 F.A. Cup (the 2-2 snow draw).

First I can recall with any degree of clarity was a wet Saturday afternoon watching a desultory 0-0 at Aldershot in a mid-1960's cup game. There were league games at Reading, Oxford and Bournemouth that may or may not have pre-dated that match but precise times become blurred at this distance.
