Saturday 10th April 1982.

Wrexham at Burnden. Won 2-0. Think Peter Reid might have scored a penalty. For some reason I drew the goal on the back of the programme (which I vaguely remember was yellowish in colour). Was sat in the Lever End with my dad.

Can't remember the first one for certain, but one of my earliest was thumping Bristol Rovers 5-1. Big cinder steps at the back of the Embankment so I could see over folks' heads. Burnden was the biggest, busiest, most exciting place I'd ever been. Happy days.
