Claret Anniversary.

[Claret&Green]

I cannot clearly remember my first game but my earliest memory of a match I attended is an FA Cup game v QPR which the clarets won 6 nil. They went on from there to the 1962 final. (It is a little risky going from long term memory. I hope I'm right!)

6th Jan 62, and QPR got a consolation goal finished 6-1

Can anyone tell me when we played Coventry in a pre-season game at the Turf, either 89-90,90-91 or 91-92. We got beat 2-0. My first proper game would have been the first league game after that.

I only know the date of my first game because I know it was West Ham and I know it was a mid-week night match because I had school the day after and shouldn't have been up that late. I must admit to looking up the date of the game.

My eyes arent what they were. Old age 30 years ago today

But in the programme it appears to say 1.30 possibly.

So what date was it?
