Thought it would be good to have a thread on personal memories from posters on the anniversary of a game.

For example:

23rd October 2002

NUFC 1-0 Juventus

I'll never forget that goal from Andy Griffin. I was only 9 at the time but i remember being hoisted up into the air by my dad and a few of the lads around us at the top of Level 7. Who'd have thought we''d somehow manage to win the next 2 games eh?

Was just thinking about that match the other day, one of the best atmospheres I've ever experienced at SJP.

Was a terrific night. Took my friends son along with me (he was 12 at the time)

Watched it with a bar full of Juve fans in Florence as I was on a school trip. Devastated I missed it.

Was upper 6th like so I was 17 and we were pretty much allowed to do what we wanted. Due to the alcohol intake we struggled badly with us wearing our away kit that night.

Great game, we were hanging on a bit in the end.

But not your son?

Great punishment for not finishing his greens.

Electric night. Couldn't quite believe it. Felt cheated by the dive for the freekick for their first in the reverse fixture, so really delighted to get the win.

Really random how i remember the 2-0 defeat at Spurs on this day in 1998. Was sat in the car park outside the pet shop while my child-minder picked up some dog food. Game was on the radio and i can remember Calderwood getting sent off. Weird.

I was coming back from somewhere on the train and asked my mate to text me updates. She sent me 1-0 GRIFFIN and that was it. I announced it to the train and then immediately started worrying that she was taking the p*ss.

Similar story, i should wait till January 16th like but i got a text of my step dad as school was ending saying Mourinho is the new manager to replace Allardyce. I go round telling every f***er who'd listen on the way home that he was our new boss. Only to find out when i got back it was Keegan. He really f***ing did me on that one like

Felt like such a tit

Don't have a son - got a 3 year old daughter! At the time, I used to take Ryan to all of our European home games. Was a good experience for him. Think his first game was to see us play CSKA Sofia when he was 9.

I was 14 and turned down a free ticket. Regret it to this day.

Aye, but why would you turn down a ticket to see us play Juve in the Champions League? Makes no sense.

Seem to remember Jenas having an absolute blinder against Davids in this match? Didn't Davids get taken off at half time?

I remember it well. Not on this day but two weeks away to say on this day I remember that night in Rotterdam. The best footballing memory ever!
