The first game I have memories of was the last game of the 77/78 season, the 6 nil against Bradford. I know I went to games before this but can’t remember them, although I do remember the Man U st Etienne game at HP in 77.

First Argyle Game
- Thread starter RB00194
- Start date
Can't remember the very first ( probably about 8 and would have entertained myself walking around the ground or climbing the bottom of the floodlight pylon in the Spion Kop ) but the first very memorable home one was promotion v Colchester in 1975.
The first memorable away game was Leeds 1973

I know it was Tranmere and I know I was 4. I’m pretty sure it was a 1-0 win which makes it 22nd Feb 69 - which makes sense as my Dad would have taken me to my first game for a birthday treat.
My second game was Argyle Cardiff. Mpenza gave my uncle 2 free tickets for supplying him with all the electronics he wanted for his flat.
I went to the pizza cup game against Bristol that went to penalties. 50 kids behind me screaming "Green Arrrmy". Ear ache for days
Can’t remember first game either but would’ve been around 89/90. First definitive memory is the 92 relegation game against Blackburn when Speedie scored a hat trick although I’d definitely been to several games prior to that
Best game you have seen- mine a toss up between Argyke winning 6-3 against Leeds early 90's, or 5-4 Argyke beating Blackburn can't remember if Tynan scored 4, I think he did.
4-3 wasn’t it? Tommy scored all four from memory.
I can't remember the opponents, but it was during the 90/91 season. Dad had bought us tickets for the Lyndhurst, but we'd somehow got in on the Mayflower side, so a steward walked us across the pitch in front of the old Barn Park terrace and we got stuff chucked at us by whoever the away fans were.
We came from behind to win 2-1, and I remember being outraged that the away fans had the chutzpah to celebrate their goal. One day I'll try to work out who we were playing, but I have absolutely no memory of what time of year the game was.
