If it helps the OP anyway, my family were never into football and I was pretty much starved of the game as a child. When I got to 7 years old I only supported England (and I was bought a, retrospectively, terrible knock off England kit). I thought England were a league team too, being young and naive. It was explained to me that you had to choose a league team and all the other kids were all Liverpool & Man Utd. One lad used to chance teams each year, from Utd to Blackburn and Newcastle eventually, the quintessential glory supporter.
Wanting to show a real passion for the game, unmotivated by success, my England love led me to the team that Lineker had just left and they had a similar kit and happened to be the worst team in the league at that time, at the very bottom if I remember rightly (a lowly 22nd in the Premiership I think I remember) so I knew that if I supported spurs it would be because I loved football, and not just because the team were doing well.
That was about 21 years ago now.
Everyone has their reasons for supporting a team, just sickens me when we have hanger's on from the Harry era acting like we should be winning the league, that levy is apparently awful and should be driven out (remember Irving Scholar & Alan Sugar? thought not) and that we should stick with a turd of a manager, just because, as that's worked out well in the past....
