I remember it was

home to QPR. I didn't live in Norwich, I lived in London, and none of my family were into footy at all but I had family up here. I convinced my mum to let me go but she had been against it for ages. I was about twelve, I think, maybe... She drove us up to Norwich and dropped me outside the ground. In those days, you could walk up to the turnstile, pay your ?1 (it was about that) and I took my place on the Barclay, which was a terrace then. My first game, on my own, surrounded by loads of rowdy blokes and it was pretty scary. I was hooked tho. I'm pretty sure Flecky and Disco were playing but I didn't really know well who anyone was in those days. I can't even remember the score, 0-0, I think. I do remember not getting the words to otbc until having been to several matches. I was hooked from that first game though, even if I had to support from afar for a long time and was surrounded by gooners and all sorts back home.
