1988 Parra vs Manly.
I still remember it like yesterday, my father and i wen't to Parra stadium to watch what we thought a fight back of the Parramatta Eels are an injury plagued 87 season.
We had won our first 2 games off 88, first of all crushing Newcastle in their first ever home game, and then defeating the Tigers at Parra stadium.
Unfortunatley, in the game against the Tigers, Kenny suffered a serious knee injury, at first he thought he could still keep playing if he done excessive amounts of physio on it, unfortunately before the Manly game he wen't to pick up his child and his knee gave way just from that, and from then on he knew their was know way he could play, and surgery was the only solution which meant goodbye to him.
The game started off great for Parra, we scored the first try, but Manly responded very quickly, then parra scored again to lead 12-6 midway through the first half, but then in an amazing 60 minute period, Manly destroyed Parramatta and put their golden era to a sudden holt.
Manly eventually won 64-12, Sterlo couldn't so anything as Manly where simply awesome, me and my father walked out at about 54-12. we had had enough.
It wasn't the greatest initiation for me, but i had to start somewhere.
What is everybody else first Parra game & where?
