By Sarah Lomas Twitter: @GirlOnATerrace Website: http://girlonaterrace.blogspot.com/ Why Rochdale? I’m a traditional football fan even if I don’t look like it! When I say I’m a Rochdale fan most people are surprised or laugh. I’m a firm believer that you support your local team or support a team that you have some sort of relation to; one […]

By Kirsten Schlewitz Twitter @7500_Kirsten Website: www.7500toHolte.com Why Seattle Sounders? Despite spending many of my formative years in both California and Oregon, I always identified with Seattle, where my mother’s family is from and where I spent most summers. Although I’ve always loved soccer, it’s only been over the last few years that I’ve […]

By Chris Carra Twitter: @ForzaSwansea Website: http://www.forzaswansea.com/ Why Swansea? Despite living in Swansea, I haven’t always been a big Swansea supporter. Having an Italian father, I always tended to ignore British football to support the Italian sides while growing up. However, a few years back, seemingly every conversation I had with a man my age or […]

By Layla Carlsson Twitter: @LaylaCarlsson Why Boca Juniors? It’s all Fernando Gago’s fault, really. Gago is a former Boca player who joined Real Madrid [my other big love] at the end of 2006, and I noticed in interviews how his eyes and face would light up whenever he spoke of Boca Juniors, which triggered my […]

By Stuart Fuller Twitter: @theballisround Website: http://theballisround.co.uk Why West Ham United? I come from a family of West Ham and Charlton Athletic fans so I wanted to be different and started supporting Arsenal. Now this wasn’t the silky smooth, score the perfect goal Arsenal. This was the Arsenal of Willie Young dropping his shorts to […]

By Shaun Wheatcroft Twitter: @KCommonsluvspie Why Forest? When I was younger, like many teenagers I wanted to make the big time as a professional footballer – football represented the picture-perfect career for me. That of course never quite materialised. However if there was one team I would have wanted to play for, forget Manchester […]

By Stuart Harper Twitter: @StuartJHarper Website: http://trequartista.net Why Roma? Allegiances are seemingly forged upon ‘eureka moments’; those times when a team does something so remarkable that they’re indelibly endeared to you – or loyalties that are bestowed via the more orthodox ‘family inheritance’ route. Honestly, I can’t recall a specific watershed game and certainly none of […]

By Ethan Dean-Richards Twitter: @SurrealFootball Website: http://www.surrealfootball.com/ Why West Brom? I wasn’t interested in watching football until I was 10, but seeing that it was the done thing to support a team, I followed Manchester United half-heartedly. After three years of doing that, I decided that I was too much of an intellectual to support a […]

By Dave Stevens Twitter: @shakefon Why Reading? Well, picking a team to throw my loyalties behind was a slow burner for me. No one in my immediate family had any interest in the game,but I was a fervent fan of Football from as early as I can remember. There are pictures of me in a […]

By Seb Gevers Twitter: @inside_left Website: www.insideleft.net Why Aberdeen? Normally you’re supposed to say something here about how your family supported the club as far back as the Saturday after the team was founded back in 18-oatcake. In my case that wasn’t really possible, seeing as I wasn’t introduced to Aberdeen FC until much later […]
