Local team, Dad supports them, watched the Liverpool '89 game at the age of three

Ahhh.. ....When did I start supporting Arsenal.....?

If I had a penny for everytime I was asked that... Id be penniless.

Mr Chelsea (U3579)

When/why did you start supporting Chelsea?

I've lived 2 minutes away from both Highbury and the Emirates all my life. Arsenal runs in my blood.

Mid 70s.

Every other football club's fans are c***s.

Summer of 2003

When/Why did you start supporting Man City?

Basically the day I was born my dad held me and my sister and said "Arsenal!". There was no way he'd let his kids support Chelsea like their mum!

I'm not local so I basically picked a team that nobody else around me supported. I had a wide range of teams from which to select. Everyone bar Manchester United.

Sometimes I still wonder what life would have been like had I gone for Norwich.

2 minutes from the emirates all your life, can't wait to hear you explain this one away.

When the oil money came in...

Went to Old Trafford with my uncle(United Season ticket holder) before the Kippax... then went to Maine road a couple of times with my dad and older brother... first match I can remeber is the 2-2 with the Gills, then got my first season ticket in 2000(In the 2nd tier where we scored over 100 goals) and have not missed one home game since.

There was one like this the other day.

I like cannons, they are cool. And Arsenal had just gone a season unbeaten or something and I thought 'here's an opportunity to look cool in front of my friends'.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Oh and did I mention that Cannons are cool?

My Dad is an Arsenal fan, as is my brother so I was too. It never occured to me I could support anyone else thank God.

My 2 month old daughter seems to be a fan too. She alwyas smiles when I sing 'stand up if you hate Tottenham' to her.

I was held up in the centre circle of highbury the moment i was born like Simba

My school was across the road from the old Arsenal studium and everyone in the school was an Arsenal supporter so i had no choice and have been a loyal supporter for the last 25 years.

did Elton John sing to you?

"did Elton John sing to you?"

Well he's alledgedley a Watford fan but I've heard he often takes David Furnish up the Arsenal.

He was in the dugout, and George Graham spread some of the turf across my forehead... he was then swiftly arrested.

nothing like an unfurnished arsenal for pure comfort.

"Well he's alledgedley a Watford fan but I've heard he often takes David Furnish up the Arsenal."

Cheap but funny.

I first started supporting Arsenal when Arsene came.

I wasn't interested in football until I saw his face on the TV screen. I knew them that I had to follow and support that man!

I've supported them from the day I was born, because I had no choice.

It's probably the greatest thing my dad's ever done for me.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to support a team that didn't wear this:

My oldest brother was an Arsenal fan, so everyone else copied him. (He was going to support Man U but was put of by George Best drinking, thank God)

But I really supported them at quite a young age with my friend and I at school at the start of 88 year, we fancied Rocky!!

Born in Islington and saw Liam Brady play at Arsenal - will that do?
