Your Earliest Football Memory

Mine is when I was six. I remember watching Ronaldo playing for Brazil in a friendly. It was the day I fell in love with football.

I can't remember my earliest football memory, but it probably would have been Robbie Fowler's drug celebration...
The day I fell in love with football was Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Newcastle.

Micheal Owen.

Senegal beating France in the World Cup. I know, I was late into football.

I remember Porto winning the Champions League, and vaguely Celtic's UEFA Cup run.

Istanbul.

It's funny because my first memory of football was 96, I was only about 4/5, I remember United v Newcastle.. and obviously then I wasn't as interested by my dad was watching it and I remember him telling me about it.

Bit weird, Cantona scored though, but I don't remember all football from that time if you get me, just got that memory in me.

Watching Ronaldo rape Germany in the 2002 World Cup Final.

Watching Bergkamp score this beauty in '98

I didn't really like football all that much as a small child.

So I think when I was 10 or something waking up 5 in the morning to watch Poland in 2002 world cup with my dad.

Fuck off, you were 4 years old.

World Cup 2002, was forced to watch it with cousins, wanted to play football in the garden instead.

Probably the first proper World cup I watched which would be 98 since England didn't qualify in 94.
England Argentina game with Owens goal and Beckhams
Oh,and Zidane especially in the final

Yeah. Became a Liverpool fan after seeing that game.

I seem to remember Owen's goal against Argentina in 98, but apart from that, probably the 2002 World Cup. And I remember my first 3 Burscough games towards the end of the 01/02 season.

Glory hunter.

I remember the World Cup 2002 so well. Was in year 7 at school and it was shown on a big screen with a projector in the assembly hall. I was so gutted after the Brazil game. Kept my England shirt on all day.

One of my main memories from a long time ago is Beckham getting sent off and everyone hating him.

Owens goal against Brazil in 2002 world cup i can always remember, i must of went blank during the england games before that

i was 8

How is it possible to remember a goal from when you were three years old?

I can't even remember BEING three.

First Chelsea game I remember was probably the Chelsea-Liverpool match where the winner got into the CL, Zola's last game

I know.

Tbh, I actually might not. I think I was just walking through the house when it was on. For all I knw that could be a heap of shit.

I remember the USA was really good in 2002 world cup and beat teams like Portugal and Mexico and then got ripped off by a German handball. I didn't know exactly how they won or how big a deal it was. I just remember Landon Donovan draped in an american flag after stupid German Frings handballed on the line and didn't get called for it.

Never really shook it off to be honest, we haven't been that good since and we should've been into the semi-final if we didnt get ripped off, a real shame, always comes to mind when I watch US soccer.

Watching Ronaldo on Sundays for Inter.

Back when Serie A was on Channel 4.

I remember little things from like 4 or 5 years old.. but not much at all, I remember Newcastle v United though (I don't actually remember how the game panned out and all that), but I remember sitting with my dad watching it and me asking questions.

I remember in 03/04 knowing Celtic were in the UEFA Cup and top of the league. I remember telling a Rangers fan at school that we were top of the UEFA Cup. I asked my dad if they were top of the UEFA Cup, and he had to explain it to me. I also remember asking why weren't Real Madrid in the UEFA Cup if they were do good, so he also had to explain that they were in the Champions League.
