I was six and it was May 1978! I guess I could be accused of being a glory hunter? 😜

7 or 8 I reckon, late 60’s. My first game at PR was v Wolves sometime late 60’s I think we lost 0:1 and I think Derek Dougan scored. But I have searched but can’t find this anywhere so must have got the scorer wrong!

First game was 1995 in the Anglo-Italian Cup when I was 8. Became a proper fan in ‘97, just as David Johnson signed. He was my first ITFC hero.

My stepdad was a Rangers fan so he’d take me up to Ibrox with him back then, and my mum would take me to Portman Road. Started going to less Rangers games and more Ipswich as I got older.

I started supporting when I was 7 years old in 1973. My first live game was Carlisle at home on the 30th November 1974 . We won 3-1.

About 1976 when I was 11 and my family very unfairly moved to Silly Suffolk

I think my first game might have been Derby at home.

My first ever football game I attended was funnily enough West Ham v Ipswich around 1973

I played it as long as I can remember, but I began to get interested in ‘proper’ football at I guess about 7 years old, though there wasn’t much on tv apart from Match of the Week and the Cup Final, until I was old enough to see MOTD. I was 8 when I saw my first game and was totally hooked from there on in. I wasn’t given a choice in who I supported. Oh well…

7 years old. First game in Feb 1958, two days after the Munich air crash. 2-2 draw against Derby. Within 4 years we were champions of England. Glory hunter!

About 20... As a kid in a non-footbally family, I was ostensibly a Liverpool fan for my childhood ( in a glory hunting type way), but never really felt a connection. Moved to Ipswich to work at BT during my degree ( 1998), and started going to games for something to do... an early peak, and then its been downhill ever since!

Around 5 in 81, living in the West Midlands we did have season tickets for Villa but Dad had been following Town since he got married and moved to Colchester in 73 ( picked the right time to start following Ipswich! ). I was the only Town fan at school when we moved to S.E. London in 83 remember going to all the Town away games in the South East.

I started supporting Ipswich when I was 8, having moved there when I was 7, but I couldn't persuade my father to take me until I was 9. My first game was Ipswich v Sunderland on 4 April 1969, a one nil win. I even got to see Ray Crawford play in his testimonial game at the end of that season.

Loved the name John O’Rourke as a kid, so Dad would update me on things, then he took me, April 72’, lost to Sheffield Utd, hooked. PR, apart from my Aunts house on Chantry where’s she lived since 56’, is the longest connection in my life.
