I dont remember my first game. Neither does my Dad.
I have vague memories of a friendly against Man City, games against Sheff Wed, Wimbledon & getting beat by United.
Last was City this season.

First was a 2-0 win against Leeds in 1993. Cottee scored both goals.
Last was this season's 1-1 against Fulham.

Th first was The 2-2 draw with Ipswich in the quarter final of the fa cup in 1985, famous for Sheedy's twice taken free kick stood at the street end
The last was 0-2 defeat to sheff utd sat in the main stand, can't remember the year, but Silva left not long after.
It was far and away the worst performance i've ever seen there, so not a great last memory

First and only was the 3-3 derby in 2013.
A win would have been great but was still a great match.
I think Barkley had broken through that season. I remember him picking up the ball and gliding past a couple players with the ball glued to his foot. Never seen anything like it in person before and think I said Wow outloud. Lad beside beside me just said, yea he's something else isn't he.
Wish I'd been able to make it for another match but it's a long trip and with young kids it just wasn't in the cards.

Canโt remember the first one exactly any more, but I remember some details.
My dad snuck me inside in his coat. When I heard the clink I had to shuffle as fast as I could through the turnstile.
Trevor Steven was playing and I was mesmerised by what he could do with the ball. At some point, some shithouse booted him and he went down injured and I cried for the rest of the game because it was so unfair.
Ah, the sights, the sounds, the smells though. Thinking about them gives me butterflies right now

First game at Goodison was easy to remember. Sunday May 10th 1998, 1-1 vs Coventry City. We drew and managed to stay up. Farrelly scored.
I left the UK in August 2000, and can't remember exactly the last game I went to. I think it was Everton 2-0 Birmingham in January 2000. There were about 6 other games between that. The vast majority were 0-0!
