Before my birth my parents went to Newcastle games and I grew up listening to their stories such as the FA Cup Final loss in 1974. My grandfather used to balance myself and my older brother on his knee and sing about […]

by Sian Ranscombe Twitter: @SianyMacalarny Website: http://ibelieveinarsenal.arseblog.com/ Why Arsenal? I’m fortunate enough to come from a family of Arsenal fans, so there was very little chance I’d ever support anyone else. I was born in Yorkshire but my dad insists that had we not moved back to London when I was four months old, we’d […]

By Andrew Gibney Twitter: @gibfootballshow http://www.gibfootballshow.co.uk/ Why Celtic? As most Scottish people will tell you “It’s in the family.” My Dad supports Celtic so does all that side of the family, I remember being told my Uncle Paul once held the Scottish Cup when he met the players inside a pub on Shettleston Road in […]

By Tom Hall Twitter: @scotfootblog http://www.scottishfootballblog.co.uk/ My Hibs History My great grandmother used to say that she wanted to be buried in the cemetery behind Easter Road. In eternity, she’d be able to hear the cheers when Hibs scored. Perhaps, as the years wearied her, she lost her optimism and decided on a cremation. But […]

By Jack McInroy II Twitter: @Yids www.youllwinnothingwithyids.com Why Tottenham? I remember having the 1989-90 First Division Panini sticker album. I was six and all my friends made getting Tottenham players a priority, so I followed suit. Most of them ended up supporting Millwall, the closest league team, by the time they were old enough to […]

By Ben Mayhew Twitter: @GreenwichGull http://greenwichgull.blogspot.com/ Why Torquay? Purely for reasons of geographical loyalty: the Gulls are the closest club to my home town and the first team I ever saw in the flesh. The Westcountry is hardly a renowned hotbed of football success and a lot of people end up overlooking their local club […]

By Jason Guy Twitter: @Matchshirt http://www.matchshirt.co.uk/ Why Wolves? My first Wolves game was in 1989 when I was 12. My mother took me to Wolves vs Bristol City in the Sherpa Van Trophy and we stood in the old south bank. Steve Bull scored a hat trick that day, the irony is I’m now a […]

By David Peacock Twitter: @DavePeacock264 http://www.david-peacock.kk5.org/ Why Carlisle? Simple question to start – I’ve lived in Carlisle all my life. I always believe in supporting your hometown club and, although I am also a Liverpool fan, I will always follow Carlisle as well. Favourite Player? It’s a sad reality that teams down in Leagues 1 […]

By A.D. Winn Twitter: @adwinn http://thelump.net/ Why Manchester United? A question I get all too frequently, due to growing up in North Hertfordshire. It started around the autumn of 1992, just before I turned 8. At that age I had no idea about football, apart from vague memories of the Ciao mascot of Italia ’90. […]

By Scott Johnston https://www.thefootyblog.net/ Why Rangers? Well growing up in Glasgow it is almost one of the first decisions you have to make, Rangers or Celtic? For me as a toddler my grandfather gave me a nice brand spanking new Rangers away top & that was me a Gers fan for life. It was only […]
