Maybe they saw the thread title and gave it a miss??

Anyway I've followed soccer for years but its a distant second to GAA. Supporting Man United since 1989, when I was seven. All my mates were supporting Liverpool but I decided against that (phew) mainly because of Mark Hughes. He's one of these guys that's always entertaining to watch.


But the fact that whatever soccer club we support is based on some decision, often irrational, that we make as children, is why GAA will always hold a stronger appeal for me. Were there any other decisions you made before you turned 10 that would have such a consequence on your life?

My first memories are of Celtic and Jimmy Johnstone in particular then Man.Utd and Georgie B.  There followed a short stint as a Spurs fan cos of Pat Jennings and switched over to West Ham after they beat Fulham in the 1975 FA Cup final.  Dithered a bit until my epiphany on a cold,wet Saturday night in 1977 when Ipswich Town walloped WBA 7-0 and have stuck with the blues ever since.  Ahhhhh, the glory years (1978-1981)....ohhhh the painful years (every year thereafter practically).

I went to uni in Preston so keep an eye out for them as I used to watch them in Div.4 take on the might of York, Darlington and Scunthorpe.  God that was eyeball-gouging stuff then.

Someone mentioned a lack of Blackburn fans.  Well, if it wasn't for Jack Walker and his squillions of squids that club would still be even more mediocre than they currently are.  Some Preston fans went across and started following the Rovers and how they got sh*t for it.  A former work colleague and her man were/are season ticket holders and when he couldn't go, I'd go to watch them.  Not overly impressed with them then as now.  I did see them beat Man U., Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal and a few others.

I keep an eye out for Nagoya Grampus and Jubilo Iwata in the J-League having been a regular attender at their games while living in Japan (often met Stoikovic in Nagoya - top lad), and go to Perth Glory games.  The Shed is some craic.  The only place I've ever seen Celtic and Rangers fans, Spurs and Millwall fans, Man C and Man U fans all stand together with their club tops on and roar for the same team.

Apologies to clubs left out......I am not a Man u fan but expect them to get as many votes as all the rest of the clubs put together.

so happy to see liverpool leading in this poll thus far at least!! i must admit that was a bit of a shocker but let's hope it stays that way!!

Yea, I know, but it's just a phase as they'e my 2nd favourite team. Their name alone stands out!

Im a Gillingham fan and would go to a fair few of their games although I havent made it the last couple of years.  23 goals in the last three of their matches Ive been at, you just dont get that in the premiership
