Spurs first game 1958, supported them for a couple of years before that, so 56 years of support.

20 years now, is a lot better being a Spurs fan now than it was back then I can tell you. We did have the wonders of Sheringham, Klinsmann and Ginola during that period though.

Supported Liverpool since the end of the 60s.

First game at Anfield was an FA cup match in 1970 against Leicester 0-0.

Peter Shilton had his customary blinder at Anfield if I remember.

First went to Highbury when kids never paid to get in the adult you were with just lifted you over the turnstile,or two of you just squeezed in together,the days when it got packed and kids were just passed over the heads down to the front.

Happy days.

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

But you have no knowledge of the circumstances. What if you were brought up in York and then a life-changing event happend, parents move, move job, go to university?

So you're building a new life with friends who are Spurs fans and you start going to games with them. Your submerging yourself into a new life and sub-culture, it's not hard to imagine how such a thing can happen!!!

First game I remember watching was the 1978 cup final - AFC lost but I've supported them ever since.

First game I went to was 1981-82 season, we beat Aston Villa 4-3 at Highbury!

Put it like this, when I first went to Stamford Bridge, cars were still being parked behind the goal
