mizer Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Late 90s for me, brought up in a non-football house. Wasn't until I went to uni in Edinburgh and got abused as a 'sheep shagger' & met a neighbour who went to games did it kick in. Quote
scotfree Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Posted February 25, 2015 I was born as a weggie and my family are/were huns. My old man used to walk in the orange walk and I used to as a kid see the hate that went along with it. I like the color red and i still remember the dons playing on the telly when I was 3 year old. So I've been a don way since 1975. Fuck the huns and all they stand for. Quote
manc_don Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Mine was around 2000 I believe, and it was a 2-1 win over St. Mirren at Pittodrie. I remember Stavrum scored and Gillies for them? Living in Holland meant that I never really got to go, so used to follow a lot of games on teletext / online! I was sat / stood in the Y :ultras: Quote
Kowalski Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 First game was roughly around 1979/80 aged 6. First cup final in 1984 vs Celtic - 2-1! Quote
BrechinRed Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 December 1992 - 2-0 v Motherwell Jess & irvine scoring. Quote
Nellie The Don Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 What game? The first one I remember was Dunfermline 1 Eion Jess 4 (In the pissing rain if memory serves) Quote
CHOW87 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 My first game was a reserve game, in the days when reserves played opposite fixture to first team. My old man took me to see the Champion Street final at Pittodrie and we stuck around to see Dons reserves beat Motherwell (I think!). Must've been around 1988. Quote
BigAl Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 1967 v Motherwell Was probably season 71/72 before I started going on a regular basis though. Quote
Kowalski Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 1967 v Motherwell Same day as your 18th birthday? Quote
Madbadteacher Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Grandfather used to take us when we were in Aberdeen on holidays, first game I was at was in 73, one of Bonthrone's League cup at home to Hibs IIRC was 4 - 0 or 4 - 1 First cup final was LC in 76! Quote
BigAl Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Same day as your 18th birthday? l Afraid not Know. Seem to remember it was around Oct/Nov time. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 First I remember was Dec 1986, aged 7. Away to Celtic, 1-1 draw. Alan McInally for them after about 3 minutes, then Joe Miller for us with a diving header. He had earlier missed a penalty kick, the useless git. Our relationship (mine and J Miller) was never the same after that, although I did relent a touch the season after when he scored two cracking volleys in games I was at (v Celtic again and Falkirk away), both 2-2 draws.

tlg1903 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 1993, a 4-1 victory over raith. Shearer, Jess and a Rico double (one was a peach). Totally hooked from the moment I walked up to the ground Quote
Jute Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 I think the categories need changed as I fall into same category as Mad and Al and I am nowhere near as old as those cunts. Anyway first Dons game was 76. Started going regular on my own in 85/86 season. Quote

Totally hooked from the moment I walked up to the ground Ha! I think I remember that one. Dennis scored for them? That was one of my first games I think but not quite my first. My first was a 5-0 win over Clydebank on August 10th 1993 in a League Cup match. Hooked. Quote

ally s Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 86 Scottish cup final v Farts, I was nearly 6. My Mum's side of the family are all reds and her cousin insisted on taking me to the final. My memories of the day are extremely vague, I went to a few more matches the next season and gradually became obsessed with all things AFC. Could have been a very different stoy, my old man is a Falkirk fan and apparently insisted from the off I would follow suit. Quote
Goldie03 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Mine's was Pittodrie in 1981 or may have been slightly later - we got beat by Dundee Utd - I nearly fainted when I saw Neale Cooper in the flesh I started supporting Aberdeen on the evening of 14th April 1980 - jings 35 years ago Quote
Andrew Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 Mine's was Pittodrie in 1981 or may have been slightly later - we got beat by Dundee Utd - I nearly fainted when I saw Neale Cooper in the flesh I started supporting Aberdeen on the evening of 14th April 1980 - jings 35 years ago I didn't even think you would have been alive in 1980 never mind making it to the football! My first match was against united in 1997 or 1998. After the 3-1 defeat folk were outside the mainstand shouting for Miller out. Quote
Mentorred Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 My very first game was against Liverpool an Anfield in 1980 when I was 6. Quote
