1.   I can still remember the intense excitement of going to see my first football match.

2.   I held my breath as the announcer introduced the players for the first match.

3.   New signing, Mark Brown, scored three goals in his first match.

4.   This was his first match in the starting line-up .

5.   Hayden forgot to put his clock forward and turned up too late for his first match.

6.   And so it was then, that on a cold, Tuesday October evening I set off for my first match...

7.   He watched the first few matches tee off, then joined the trickle of early spectators following the Red route round the course.

8.   Was this his first match in the starting line-up?

9.   If I remember right, first home matches have been similar for a few years now.
