First home against Coventry 1967 (end of 1966-67 season) 1-1 . Bobby Brown for Cardiff. A very young John Toshack missed a penalty late in the game.

First away Brentford New Year's day Bank holiday 1983. Won 3-2 - I think Gary Bennett was one of the scorers? I know he was immense that day but would easily have been sent off under today's interpretation of the rules. I found myself in the stand sat next to Neil and Glenys Kinnock and some of their children, although that was just before he was known so well outside Wales.

As a footnote, that evening I went with a mate to watch Watford play Manchester City (the only time I have done 2 football league matches in one day!), and saw a young Jimmy Gilligan score both goals in a 2-0 win for Watford! Little did I know then that he would become a Bluebirds hero!
