Mere words will never accurately tell the full story of my love for Juventus and explanations will rarely capture the full range of emotions I feel every time I come across anything that is linked to my beloved Bianconeri. I grew up as a Laziale. My […]

By Matthew Mckeith Twitter: @corn33mckeith Website: http://rightinthegarykellys.wordpress.com Why Leeds? When I was a lot younger I didn’t really follow one specific team I just loved watching football so much.

By Steve McGillivray Twitter: @theSteve71 Why St Johnstone? One reason really. My Mum. I was taken to my first game in the inaugural season of the Scottish Premier League. My Dad and Grandad were both St Johnstone fans, but my Mum lays claim to introducing me to my hometown team………… I don’t really remember the […]

By Jamie Maher Twitter: @thosefeet Why Everton? Put simply, my love of Everton stems from my father. This is an adage that I imagine many others would attest to. I was born in Liverpool but my family relocated to the Midlands when I was young so my only continuing link was my through my father, […]

By Brent Atema Twitter: @GlobalFoot2Day Website: http://www.globalfootballtoday.com/ Why Chelsea? I suppose I will take a lot “schtick” for this, from Chelsea fans and non-Chelsea fans alike, but my initial decision to choose the club was based on some very superficial criteria. I have followed the game — predominantly the EPL — for more than 15 […]

By Mike Grady Twitter: @mikegrady87 Website: http://www.michaelgrady.co.uk/ Why Sunderland? I have no idea. In my formative years, I had two sporting influences; my sister’s boyfriend and my cousin. They were both Newcastle United fans. At the time Sunderland were near the bottom of the Endsleigh Divison One while ‘The Entertainers’ were competing at the zenith […]

By Paul Giess Twitter: @ItsStillAyoba Website: http://ayoba.blog.com/ Why Ajax Cape Town? I have supported Walsall all my life but when I moved to South Africa in 2007 I knew it was going to be hard to keep up with action on the other side of the world. Friends advised me that this was golden opportunity […]

By Paul Barnes Twitter: @paulibarnes Website: http://blogs.spokenword.ac.uk/paulbarnes/ Why St Mirren? Born in Paisley and raised in Renfrewshire, St Mirren are my local club. My father was a big football fan but having originated from Caithness in the Scottish Highlands, he didn’t support any particular side, therefore my Buddie love wasn’t exactly in the genes. My […]

By Rob Marrs Twitter: @MarrsioFootball Website: http://leftbackinthechangingroom.blogspot.com Why Liverpool? Certainly not familial or geographical! My mother is from Dumfries and supports Queen of the South and (jaw-droppingly!) Leeds. My Uncle veers towards Hearts and my Papa, on that side, was a football fan but not a supporter of any club (at all levels – my […]
