Nottingham is where I am from so the local team is the one for me.
 
When I was a kid I was aware that I was from Liverpool & that LFC was my home town club . I did not know where Everton was but I was aware that it was 'near ' Liverpool. I guess it was easier for my infant mind to identify with LFC. I had no idea if they were any good or even what league they played in. I do remember thinking that the red kit looked more appealing for some reason.
 
I've supported Liverpool for as long as I can remember, I'm not entirely shure why I chose them but it was probably something to do with a young Michael Owen.

Liverpool are my team but I do 'support Oxford and Celtic' but I'll always be a red.

As for Celtic, it's my dad's team so I kinda have to follow them, plus it was the first stadium I went to and it's magnificent.

And Oxford because it's where I live, my mum's friends with some Oxford fans and they used to take me and my brother every so often to go watch a game, but everyone loves their local team. Can't wait to go to Wembley :D
 
my uncle was from manchester so i all way use to see man u on tv when i was younger and kinda grow to love them so why i support man united
 
you should have an option for glory hunters ( aka suporters of chelsea after 2004)
 
Although Neall i agree with what you say there should be an option.

like Andy said earlier, it is refreshing to see someone own up and admit they are a glory hunter.

deep down many people know they are, but because of the abuse they get for supporting a club that has no relevance to their family or location, there is always "without fail" some radical reason that qualifies them for that club.

shame really...

good idea though ;)
 
evan tho am a united fan i still keep an eye on clubs like southampton as me dads team and as i live in nottingham i keep an eye on nottingham forest i been united fan tho since i was 9
 
Liverpool:
Lived there until from 3 years old to 8 years old.
Family Supported them also.
 
I've supported Real madrid since I was 15, I love the style of the Spanish Liga but my family is a rangers family so I keep an eye on them :D
 
Well and Derry City, I have been going to the games for about 8 years steady. Local Team, lived here until i was 3 and 8-17. Had a season ticket for 4 of them aswell.
 
Reading the answers, i should've put "Uncle's from there" as an option. But wouldn't that mean your mum or dad would be from there!?
 
i support walsall and i chose for my self to support them even though there a four prem sides on the doorstep of walsall fc
 
good point... XD

respect you massively mate! local boy to myself as well ;)...

i respect you soo much more because you didn't support the Villa ;)
 
My dad supports Benfica, and made me a member when I was 4 years... Since then I remained loyal :P. But even if I wasn't born to this :P I would support them anyway, as Sporting is too elitist and Porto is a bunch of liars.

I think it was KingEric who said earlier that he was a glory supporter.

Actually refreshing for him to say that rather than make something up. I respect you for that. :D
