who should you really be supporting?

[bunburyist]

Grew up - Hayes, so Brentford ? I;m not sure
Currently reside - Some Irish team.

Ha - was born in Hillingdon, we’re basically brothers

 

[Bow Lockes]

Born and bred Essex, on the borders of East London.

Should be Dagenham, Orient and West Ham. I’m Orient so one out of three isn’t bad lol

Now it would be Southend.

 

[RocketRonny]

Grew up - Hapoel Haifa
Currently - Hapoel Jerusalem

 

[Murphy]

Childhood: Canvey Island FC (I do still watch them here and there when I go home)

Early 20's: This biz:



Mid-20's onwards: Leyton Orient or Spurs.

Canvey here! I watch Concord, though.

 

[Airfixx]

Canvey here! I watch Concord, though.

Well I never.... We should do a game when I'm back on my feet!

How old are you/what school did you go to?

 

[Murphy]

Well I never.... We should do a game when I'm back on my feet!

How old are you/what school did you go to?

I'm 40, have "only" lived on Canvey since 2008. I had a bird that went to Furtherwick though! I currently work in Castle View.

 

[Murphy]

Similar age, but yeh, I spent my first 20yrs on the Island..... I think they changed the school names about at some point.... Furtherwick when I attended was the one in the town centre...?

I'll PM you when the fixtures come out.

It was, knocked Furtherwick down but rebuilt a new Castle View. There's a few teachers there that went to the old school as kids too.

 

[1882]

Born near Stoke Newington... so y'know.... by rights...


....lucky I took a left at Stamford Hill and carried on up the High Road innit?


Now I'm nearer to Leyton Orient/West Ham.... so, y'know, that's TWO bullets dodged!

 

[mummy]

Grew up - Hertford
Currently - Hertford

Historically, Hertford's always been a largely Spurs town, as Hertford East goes direct to Northumberland Park, so as it was my nearest 1st Division club, my Dad was a fan and it had just won the double, it was the natural club for me as a boy and I reckon it should be my club. And it is. And it always will be.

 

[Mick Cooper]

Everyone who disagrees with me is a Woolwich supporter. The child’s guide to internet discourse.

did you go to a special school for dickheads, or does it just come naturally?

 

[Seven Sisters]

Growing up - Palace / Woolwich* (I’m from south London)
Currently reside - Leeds United
Currently working - Newcastle United

(Late) Grandad was from Tottenham. So it’s been Spurs all the way.

 

[Pete27]

Was born within brick-lobbing distance of Cold Blow Lane to an (absentee) Scouse, Liverpool supporting father. Take your choice.

My nephew was born round there and lived in Reculver Road on the Silwood, for years. We used to play footie on Senegal Fields before they built the New Den.
I made sure he was Tottenham through and through. Took him to his first game at home to Sunderland - Feb 8th 1984. He was two and a half months old.

 

[Mandy]

Born in Bishops Stortford so Stevenage might have been the closest. I'm still within 10 minutes of Stortford, but I've been Spurs my whole life.

 

[mummy]

I thought you said you lived in St Albans on a previous thread

Lived - past tense.

It went Hertford - St Albans - Hertford.

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Grew up in Rayners Lane then Pinner so Harrow Borough/Wealdstone or probably Watford.

Now live on the sunny South Coast near Southampton

NEVER Borough.

 

[VirginiaSpur]

Maybe the Washington Redskins...?

 

[fogueres]

Grew up: Terni — Ternana ( now it's in series C, first in series B, only in the 70s in series A)

Currently: I live in Genoa but I have always supported Juventus

 

[Archie]

Grew up Basingstoke - Basingstoke town or Reading
Reside Basingstoke so same

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Grew Up in Wembley = Wealdstone. Watford was/is 20 mins on the train. Of course could have just supported Wembley FC.

Currently reside N Herts = Stevenage.

 

[Tomo]

Grew up = Tottenham then Barking & Dagenham: born and lived in Tottenham till 4 then moved to Barking till around 20

Live = Millwall would be the closest.
