The first game I went to was against Coventry at home, think it was 94.

How can anyone have 2 teams?
----------------------------------

My first love Arsenal who i first supported and the first game i turned up in.

Then there's my local-local. A club in need of local support and funds, Leyton Orient.

At 2 I could recite the team and thought Gary Bailey (keeper at the time) was my dad. 29 years later I still get grief about this.

You are all so young. Man City since I was 10 in 1959. No chance of remembering what game that was.

Leyton Orient gave us a good game at OT 2 years ago in the FA Cup

Facking hell you're ancient! But to be fair, I've noticed you've got so much elder fans.

Ever since Vieira slotted home the winning penalty against ManU to win the FA Cup - I switched from the red devils immendiately, sure in the knowledge I was going to support a team who'd dominate football for the next decade.

serial;


Scribe put York 27 years, Spurs 22 years. That's just wrong.

Been a Utd fan all my life, so 32 years. Earliest memory is when I was roughly 4 years old, so roughly 28 years of knowingly being a Utd fan

Weirdly enough I started supporting Arsenal after we lost the F.A Cup to 'pool in 2001. Was 7 at the time, only played football before then, never really watched.

I don't think RLF has met many people over the age of 16

Dont really come from a football family, so my first game wasn't till about 13 when I could go myself. Cardiff against west brom, 1-1 draw

Well I'm 19 myself, so I don't hang around with many elder people. Sorry.

17 years. Since I was 10years old.

Stevie coppell was my favourite player, but gordon hill was also a fave at the time.

1st match I recall was an away game at Chelsea in 84 around December because it was close to Christmas. Oh, to be 4 years old again

More lies from Earl...

Supported Man United since 1973, aged 4, first team I ever knew cos my dads supported them since as an 11yo boy, living in a backwater village in Wiltshire, he heard them on the radio win the FACup in 1948.

Cue "glory hunter" remarks

AND I later realised that I was born exactly 9 months after United became the first English team to win the European Cup. So it wasn't just Charlton (2), Best, and Kidd, that scored that night
