When you started supporting you team, Why you did..

and your best/worst memories from that time.

Post here

man u when they won stuff
cos they win stuff
whenever they win stuff

I was 6 and they were the only Brazilian team I knew because of Pele
Winning the Libertadores
Getting trashed 6-1 by Vitoria in 09/Almost getting relegated in 08

My brothers kept telling me I had to choose between Derby and QPR (one brother is a derby fan, rest of my family are QPR fans) and I couldn't decide. So they asked me who my favourite player was and I shouted out "Robbie Fowler" So I'm a liverpool fan

Never liked Football till I was about 7, I was in Greece, went to watch Panathinaikos v AEK Athens, loved it, stuck with them ever since.

Started supporting them at like 6/7 didn't know too much about Arsenal at that point though. My dad started taking me to a few games and telling me about the club more and I started to follow the club religiously from then on.

Best moment - 2001/02 season or the 2003/04 season.

Worst moment - Losing the Champions League final and the resignation of David Dein.

I started supporting United as early as 4 when I moved to live with my Mum in Stockport. My uncles took me to alot of games but I hardly remember any tbh My earliest memory was when I was like 7, went to Beckham's last home game against Charlton and we won 4-1, and he scored.

Happiest memory is obviously Moscow, it would be the 99 win but I barely remember it at all apart from clips and videos. Worst memories are probably the two final's against Barca tbh.. I struggled to watch them.. Also the 3years behind Arsenal and Chelsea from 03. Beckham leaving was heartbreaking too.

because is my local team, unlike all these gloryhunters on this forum support team in manchester when they live in surrey or mumbai

my favorite memory destroying milan 2 seasons ago

Oh, didn't realise it was Best memories.

Ummm, I guess when they won the title in 04 was kind of when I supported them. Hard to keep track of them.

3 days old.

Given an Everton baby-grow by my uncle to the dismay of my Redshite Dad.

Best moments: Wembley 2009, European tours, 2004/05 Season.

Worst moments: Suffering with lack of finances, sale of Rooney, in relegation battles.

My dad took me to many games at United growing up and I'm going to be honest i loved a lot of the games but the fans started to wear me down and other reasons stopped me supporting them but i went to a Bury game while i was watching United and after the Norwich fa cup game i fell in love with the club due to the atmosphere what i had not seen at Old Trafford and ever since that i have experienced some highs and lows but mostly highs.
Cool story bro.

Forgot the fact that it is Everton

Okay i'll do it for the latest and only team i've ever properly supported.


Can't remember the year, Hull beat Scunthorpe 2-1 at Boothferry Park. Andy Holt scored a free kick.
I enjoyed going to games, realised it was much better than watching it on tv.
There are so many memories. 4-2 at Hillsborough when 7,000+ fans went down on a freezing Wednesday night in November.
3-2 at Brammall Lane when Bullard scored a last minute winner.
2-0 away at Watford in the 1st leg of the playoff and then the return leg where we smashed them 4-1 and experienced the best atmosphere at KC ever.
Obviously Wembley is up there.
Emirates was fun, Old Trafford was even more fun (lost 4-3). Winning at Ninian Park was fun, Deano scored the goal to keep City up in the Championship.
Barmby scoring a last minute equaliser at Stoke.
Cairney scoring a free kick to make it 2-0 away at Norwich to end our 18 months without an away win.
Fryatt away at Forest.
Being linked with transfer moves for Owen and Negredo

Bad memories include losing 4-0 or was it 5-0? away at Millwall. Losing 4-0 away at Huddersfield, losing 3-1 at home to Sunderland (all but guarenteeing relegation), Bullard joining, Bullard staying. Peter Taylor leaving after saying he was gonna stay. Phil Brown leaving.

I dont know,my whole family where olympiakos fans and my father was born in pireaus,so im an olympiakos fan.

Best memory was destroying panathinaikos 4-0 four years ago,and destroying aek 6-0 last year.Also,winning werder bremen 3-1 away was epic.

Worst memory was losing 7-0 to juventus.

When: not exactly sure. Dad would take me to watch Arsenal and my mum would take me to Spurs until I was like 5/6 I think. Ended up joining the better side (Spurs for the slow )

Best: Carling Cup win in 2008 over Chelsea or getting into the CL and then playing in the CL.
Worst: Probably the fiasco just before Harry joined when we were rock bottom of the table.

You made the wrong decision.

Potato is my hero, my Granddad was born in Athens, if that helps.

Beating Olympiacos anytime is a good feeling.

I've been caught.

All my life, I just went to Greece for a while between the age of 4-6, then came straight back here.

You ever been to England?

I said you made the wrong decision, not that you're a disappointment.

THREAD WRONG.

When I was about 11-12.

Because my Stepdad took me to Liverpool games and talked about Liverpool all the time. (I had no interest in football before all this, was into Skateboarding and Extreme Sports)

Best memory has to be winning number 5 in Istanbul, closely followed by beating West Ham 3-2 in the FA Cup Final.

Worst memories; getting knocked out by Chelsea in the CL Quarter/Semi-Finals and losing to AC Milan in the CL Final in Athens.

Top quality Liverpudlians know their scorelines from finals!

Meh, don't know what happened there.

When: Pretty much when I was born, parents gave me no say, with them all being red I doubt they would want me to be a blue

Why: See above

Best: Winning the treble in 1999, the attitude of the team that season was fantastic, not over till it's over. Then it would have to be winning it in Moscow and number 19 this year.

Worse: Cantona leaving, was devastated. The 3 seasons where we just fell a bits and didn't look like challenging, Chelsea dominance was showing. Probably the CL defeat in Rome, dominated the first 10minutes, once they scored we never recovered and was heartbreaking.

Crawley ever since the Broadfield stadium was built and whenever my Dad was around we'd go to game, best memories are the FA Cup run last and getting promoted to Football League. Worst would be being 2 hours from extinction, 6-0 defeat this season, 3-0 defeat to Di Canio's Swindon.

Tottenham since about the age of 10/11, my brother's friend was really nice to me and he supported Tottenham so I followed them to the dismay of my Chelsea supporting Dad. But then a couple of years ago I found out my Dad and his family were originally from Tottenham, so I kind of brought it back round after he decided to follow Chelsea to go against the family when it was a cup final between the two. Best memories: European nights, 5th Nov 2006 when we beat Chelsea for the first time in the league for god knows how long, Carling Cup 2008, beating Arsenal, finishing 4th, Champions League and beating both Milans and getting to the quarter-finals. Worst memories, any defeat to a lower positioned side (eg defeat to Wigan last year at home and others like that) 5-4 defeat to Arsenal, 4-0 defeat to Chelsea, loss to Man City at home this season, Man City defeat last year which meant they got at least 4th.

I don't care what anybody thinks about me supporting 2 sides, because I know that I have emotional ties to both. I was born and raised in Crawley - hometown club, my Dad's family was originally from Tottenham, so I feel they are also my club despite my Dad going for Chelsea, as well as my brother.

I don't really remember starting to support Leeds, it just happened. My first game was when I was just 4 months old and by the time I was 1 I'd been to 11.

Earliest memory though is beating Southampton 3-0 in 1998/99 in what was the first year of my season ticket.

Highlight was the entire Champions League run of 2000/01 but the best moment was being in the San Siro for the game against Milan which put us through to the 2nd round.

Worst point was getting relegated to League 1 in 2006/07, especially the way in which it happened. That whole season was a disgrace though, mainly down to the stewarding.

Wish I still had my season ticket now
