If your older than me then you are probably the oldest on the message board

Welcome Pete, It's great to drop a little down the list.

I think you are Pete I`m only 73.However very few on this Message Board are Compos Mentis including me and my pal snappy.

Northbankgooner... same game as me then!

9th september 1989, I was 8, Arsenal V Sheffield Wednesday one of the best games EVER 5-0

My first game was Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest on Saturday Match 8th 1997 and sadly the first and only time I have been to Highbury. But 2-0 win with Bergkamp getting both made me more than happy that day

My 1st game was at Highbury Valentines day 2005 when we beat Palace 5-1.
It was the 1st ever time an English team has never included an English player in the squad.

just wanted to say a massive respect to each and every Gooner. read thorugh this thread eventually and its fascinating.

MASSIVE RESPECT TO THE PRE 70'S Gooners.....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Well thankyou!

Radfords kind words have inspired me to try and complete 100 years in supporting Arsenal.

i remember speaking to an old girl who's first match was the 4-5 against the mancs...the last game before the munich air crash. i was to say the least very impressed.

any of you oldies attend this one?
