YOUR FIRST EVER ARSENAL GAME

According to my old man it would be

Arsenal Vs Coventry City 18th January 1987. 0-0 Draw. But I don't remember any of the game in the slightest. Just being freezing fucking cold.

My clearest memory of a game would be

Arsenal Vs Watford 15th April 1988. 1-0 Defeat.

And I went on to support this Club?

Ipswich at home Nov 78. We won 4-1. Always remember Brady scoring a penalty in fron of the NB.

I was 12 years old. Can still remember how fantastic and big the stadium looked when i first went in. Like a kid opening their presents at Christmas. I was speechless. Couldn't believe i was standing there at highbury.
It was amazing as that was the first proper ground i had been to. Had only ever seen them on tele.

Arsenal 1-1 Oldham - Wright equalised with a Penalty! Really remember it clearly......even cried at home afterwards as I wanted to see it again so much......

Good Times.

First game at ABG v Borough

My Dad isn't a football fan so never went to games, soon as I got a job and saved some money I signed up and started going. Spent about 800 quid on tickets that season, loved it

First game was Arsenal v Spartak Moscow - at a guess I'd say it was 2001 but I can't be bothered to look it up now

Thierry Henry scored a late winner

Mine was 09th February 1980 at Home to Aston Villa, we won 3-1

Jimmy Rimmer was in goal for Villa, what a great fucking name

Limpar goalfrom the halfway line!!

Sorry Frank, but no!

hmmm... I think you are right. Think Merse, Smudge and Dicko scored that day. One was a penno. Was Limpar's chip in 92? The 4-0?

Didnt Hillier score that day_ Rare moment I know!!
