My first, rather than most, trauma was watching the 1966 FA cup final on telly (in B&W, if memory serves). We went 2-0 down to Sheffield Wednesday, and my 12 year-old self was convinced we were doomed. My ( non-footy) parents kept saying we still had a chance in a tone of voice that clearly didn't believe it, so that was no help. I can only vaguely remember the Derek Temple run and winning goal, and superb rugby tackle by a copper on a pitch invading Everton fan, but the eventual euphoria was well worth the earlier trauma.
During the innumerable unredeemed traumas since, I comfort myself with the eternal image of Riise heading the ball past the bemused Grobs in the bad guys' goal, and think how bad they all must have felt. Chuckling at the thought, still.

Both 80’s FA Cup finals against the R/S at Wembley. As a kid with our kid, with all his kopite mates and in the RS end. Also traveled in a van with them all singing “king Kenny” songs, utterly traumatic experiences .. Slightly levelled out by being on the Kop when Michael Thomas put the wining league goal in. Strange to think in those days as a young one we would sometimes go to each others home games if a ticket was going, fair do’s to him as he sat in the street end at the Wimbledon game and applauded… wouldn’t happen nowadays.
The third Final against Villa 77.
Travelled up from the South coast by train with a mate obviously the game was bad enough but afterwards things got worse.
We had to get the last train back to London so had a couple of pints in Manchester as we were leaving the pub a group of about 10 Manx carrying weapons chased after us . We managed to get away from them but the problem was we were heading away from the station we managed to get a taxi which took us right past them.
So we end up on the night train and when got to London we had to wait for the first tube to Victoria then back to the south coast.
I was due in work in the morning so I went straight in, I got there about 8am.
Later the same morning I was made redundant.

Ian Rush coming on as sub for Newcastle to score a late winner in a half empty goodison fa cup 3rd round. I was half hour late due to the rain. He scored at the gwladys street and ran into the net right in front of me. I swear his nose hit mine.
