First

Attended a Rangers game; Around 1979

Attended a cup final; 1986

Attended a cup final we won/first trophy; 1986

First game that made you cry; Gazza 8 iar

First Old Firm game; 1986

First old firm victory; 1986

First old firm at Parkhead; 1986

First European away; Home games only, had to call off a Germany trip at the last minute. :(

First time you were in the ground to see us witness the league trophy; 1987

The Gazza 8-in-a-row was certainly the first time I cried tears of joy and elation. It was so emotional that season... that game... and now I can't even remember exactly why. By that I mean I think I remember stronger emotions that day than the clinching game the next year.

The first time I cried because of football pain and deflation would have undoubtedly been a Scotland game.

Take your pick... The 0-0 vs Uruguay in 86. Tears of rage! The 5-0 drubbing v Portugal when Gough retired and McCoist broke his leg. The 3-0 hammering from Morocco in 1998.

When McAllister missed the penalty at Wembley I cried for a very short time... until Gazza scored and then I hurled abuse at him. So, the same daft Geordie genius made me laugh and sing and cry and rage all in the same year.

As Charlie Miller may have said: "Hey, Gazzzzar... Y'tryn' tae bam me up, ya dick?"

Watched that so many times and agree commentary was great. Sounded like Brown was loving it as much as us. I know he went to work for them but I reckon he's a blue nose.

Mibbees. His voice was just perfect for it. My favourite commentator by far. Shame he fucked that up by going to the mhanks.

This is my favourite commentary of his. 'You could have driven a bus through the Celtic defence'.

Brilliant. Bumbling billy wasn't the best though. I remember listening to that match like it was yesterday on the radio at my gramps house. He happens to be a mhanky type so that was good. :pipe:
