Why do you support the team you do?

Are we talking football?
Because I support Hull FC rugby league club because my Dad wouldn't have it any other way. I support Everton because when I first got into football, they were the best. Same reason people support Manchester United or Liverpool. And Hull City had never even been in the top flight at that time. |
Grew up watching Chelsea. Everyone in Primary school supported either Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs. It was always Chelsea for me. Went to my first game with my uncle and cousin in the mid 90's, we beat Sheffield Utd 3-2. Stamford Bridge has changed immensely since then.
We didn't always win, but we narf played some entertaining football back in mid/late 90's/early 00's before the Roman Empire. One of my best mates was half Italian in school, he's dad loved Chelsea because of the Italian players we had. Going back to when i really got into football in the mid 90's, this is the worst i've position ive ever seen Chelsea currently in. |
Darren Bent's dad is a Chelsea fan and took Darren to hundreds of games and when he was 9 he decided to support Arsenal and it stuck (#glory hunter)
That is an awful story, no dad should let their kid decide who they support - its chosen for you at birth |

Wonder how many kids in the south east support City now?!

I did used to go watch Hull city in the late 80s when they were in the old division 1. Which is now the championship. But in 1990 I went to my first rugby league game and there was no turning back. I was hooked. It was just a better experience. Everton turning sh1te at that time probably helped.

Initially to piss off my Dad and Brother. They are both big Bolton fans and so by default hated Utd so I made them my team. My friend came round once with a Utd scarf on and our kid set fire to it in the garden :laugh:
My mum was a Utd fan because she used to go to the games as she fancied Georgie Best (she hated gootball though ) |

Up North in the M62 corridor, we play Rugby league. A truly working class sport. Rugby Union is your University sport. I did put a video on here a couple of years ago explaining the difference between the two. It was at one time just one sport. But in the late 19th century the people of the North who worked working class jobs like miners and that sort of job broke away because they wanted to get paid. Because when they got injured , then they couldn't go to work and earn money. Rugby League was the first professional code of rugby where money was earned. Rugby Union didn't become professional until 1989. |

I used to support Chelsea after the playground has to choose between Chelsea or Leeds in the upcoming FA Cup final … that was in 1970 ..
By 1973 I’d switched to FC Barcelona as the best player in the world ( 3 times World Best Player) Johan Cruyff had joined them.. I’ve supported them avidly ( from a distance ) ever since My father encouraged me to watch / enjoy / even play skilful football so I’ve always had a soft spot for Brazil ( and Spain ) .

I remember your dad asking where Nat Loftouse was on my greatest ever footballers countdown Annie.
He'd be in my greatest ever England players countdown. 30 goals in 31 caps. The Lion of Vienna |

My son supports Rangers, I support Rangers, My dad supported Rangers, his dad supported Rangers, his dad supported Rangers and that takes it back to when the club moved to Ibrox in 1899
