First ever game at the age of nine and what a great one to choose. &nbsp - As I sit here aged 27 all I can remember is going to the match with my old chap and sitting in the Cobbold Lower, which I think was called the Portman Stand lower at that time. &nbsp - I doubt my imaginative mind would not have stretched to the tours, stories, heartache, exasperation and general excitement that would come over the next 18 years.
