Not sure if this has already been done , but was wondering who holds the accolade for the earliest Saints game, I’m only a youngster but will kick it off with the following.
9th August 1969 - home to WBA - lost 2-0
My dad took me to my first ever game and it was a treat for my sixth birthday.

Monsieur 130's first game was in 1932.
It's why he remembers Portsmouth's heyday with such clarity. |  |

23rd of April 1960.
Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic ( as they were known then ) 1-3 Southampton.
Played at Dean Court ( as it was known then ).
We wore gold shirts and black shorts if my fading memory serves.
Eternal thanks to my uncle for introducing me to “The Saints”. | |

This is why I , like many AFCB fans, refer to them as Boscombe.
I am often asked why I do this. | |

Your uncle like my Dad set us both up for a lifetime of triumphs and tribulations, only wish mine was still here to cheer on the team in the new season. | |
