Nice find Going on blind memory of reading about them, I think the three wins during the first year were against Philly, Atlanta and Washington.

I wasn't there, I was only 4 when it happened. But, family members who instilled my love for the Saints, were there. Even though I was only 4, I know the play well. I've watched it countless times. The Saints are my first and only real true sports love. Their history, whether I'm old enough to remember or not, is important for me to know and respect. My first memories are from Archie's rookie season (4 years later). I've seen it all first hand since then.

I wasn't at the game, but I remember it vividly.

That's right. Philly was our first win. Flea Roberts returned a kick off, pick up fumble for another TD and caught a long pass for another.

Unfortunately for me, I was -25 years old in 1967.

I'll trade ya.

I am told I was there, but I don't remember it. I have better memories of the '68 season when I was 5.

Just curious, how many people here were there when Gilliam scored on the first play in Saints history.
I was there and until Porter's pick six it was the most exciting thing I ever saw.

I was there.

The only thing left now to complete our season of retro is Dixon builds on stadium. “With a roof”

I was there with my dad and we were late. We were running up the ramps trying to see what all the noise was about. We did see the touchdown scored. I was 12 years old.

I was only 6 months old and at VOA, so no

A friend of mine named Harry Black, and I, parked cars in his yard on Versailles Place, then walked over to the stadium. We climbed the fence to sneak in on the Claiborne side of the stadium. After the exciting kickoff, we felt guilty and climbed over the fence to leave the same way we got in. I was 9.
