Born London, grew up in Brighton. There were a few Brighton fans, I remember when they made the FA Cup final in 1983. A lot of Liverpool fans as they were the plastics of the time. I had a few mates who copied me and supported Arsenal so at least I had a positive influence in their lives.

Grew up in West London area of Ealing/Wembley and there were quite a few Chelsea fans, a fair sprinkling of Arsenal and Spurs as well, some Man U and the odd Liverpool and QPR fans.

South East, town called East Grinstead

Wouldn't say there was really one dominant team, quite a good mix of teams supported.

Mainly Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool fans I would say. Spurs and Chelsea fans split quite evenly, probably slightly more Chelsea. A couple or so West Ham fans.

A couple of Liverpool supporting friends I know started supporting Brighton when they started getting better and Liverpool worse.

One Millwall fan and one Newcastle fan.

That's about it off the top of my head

Grew up in former Yugoslavia. Went to study in Switzerland 1987, in September 1988 visited London for the first time, then I was 20 and Red Star Belgrade fan. I wanted to see Arsenal, because of Vladimir Petrovic - a Red Star legend, who played one season in 1982/83. I managed to buy ticket for the Southampton game - an exiciting 2:2. This club, this passion, this kind of fighting spirit was so different than everything I saw before. Since then I am every year 3 or 4 times in London to see Arsenal playing. I also go to European games in Germany, Italy and of course in Switzerland.

The vast majority were either Everton or Liverpool, I had a mate who supported Chelsea and another who supported Forest Green? I haven't a clue why he chose The Greens as he came from a long line of Scousers who all supported Everton.

Back in my old School days mostly West Ham & Spurs but I was on the border of North London from the East.

Surprisingly few Arsenal but nobody messed with us, we were top boys.

"And West Ham - I'm always surprised how many fans they have"

I find that too. One chap, I'd know him a couple of years - nice bloke, always had a good story down the pub, then bang, turns out he's a West Ham fan.

The c*nt.

"At least bean is honest."

Mad though because I actually moved and went to secondary school in Bredbury, and we all know where Bredbury is?!

Alrighty Flash,

I grew up in Fulham, 5 minute walk to the ground Craven Cottage, in the 60s most people in that area supported Fulham & Qpr and so i was taken to Fulham and Qpr as a young lad, but by the time of the Chelsea Leeds Fa cup final i was a fully fledged CFc supporter.
