Did anyone support a team before Ipswich? 16:49 - Nov 27 with 9246 viewsAlexGreen

I was a Watford fan between 10-12 yrs old, solely because my friend at school was. Then we fell out and I needed to find myself a new club, and decided Ipswich was for me.

Best decision I ever made!

Was brought up an Arsenal fan until the age of around 10 as that's who my Dad supports. Then my Auntie said enough was enough and started taking me to Town games and I haven't looked back since.

One of the big boys at school made me support Leeds when I was about 6 or 7, by making me cross my heart and hope to die that I supported them.

I genuinely thought I would die if I didn't.

Eventually I cottoned on to the fact that I wouldn't die just by dint of not supporting Leeds so joined my dad at FPR and got to see the likes of Burley, Mills, Mariner and the two dutchmen in glorious live action.

Don't boil a kettle on a boat.

Hibernian.

Still do — but needed a team in England when I moved down aged 10. There were no league teams anywhere near in Somerset so was always going to be a long-distance relationship. This was 1980 or so and friends were choosing Liverpool and Forest. Ipswich felt less of a glory-hunter choice and closer to Hibs.

Over the years, I began to care much more about Ipswich results and Hibs became more like an old friend I still like seeing from time to time.

Liverpool. First ever game I saw on the TV was, I believe, a Euro 2004 game that England were playing in. My first memory was a player close-up and asking my Dad "Who's that?", followed by "What team does he play for?" between which my Dad said "Steven Gerrard" and it was from that point on I started to get into and play football, with Liverpool my chosen team until I started regularly attending ITFC games and getting myself a season ticket.

I still follow Liverpool and like to see them do well, even attended Liverpool v Boro in the League Cup in 2014, but ITFC have my heart now - a big part of me wanted Stevie G getting the manager's gig in the summer for the pure romance of my football journey coming full circle... sigh.

Man Utd when I was 10, I knew nothing about football & my best friend supported them.
Adopted Town after going to a live Town v Man U game a few years later.

Nearly Man U to my eternal shame.

Had family in Manchester who battled for my football soul. Sent t shirts, shirts, scarves etc etc. Booked us on a stadium tour of Old Trafford. Gave my dad their STs for a game so he could take me to a match (United 3-0 Leeds).

My first Town game was when I was four year old. It was too deeply ingrained to be truly challenged.

Truly impaired.

Chelsea, as a very young lad in the mid 60s. My mother even arranged for a family friend to take me to my first game away from Portman Rd which was West Ham v Chelsea. Still vividly picture Peter Osgood scoring the only goal of the game. That love affair lasted about 5 years until Town won over my heart and 50 years later no longer an interest in CFC.
