    Liverpool.
    I started supporting them back in the days that Ray Houghton, Ronnie Whelan and John Aldridge (and soon after, Steve Staunton) were playing for them. Michael Thomas in 1989 is by far my most vivid (and troubling) sporting memory from my youth. I can still hear George Hamilton's voice. :(

    Club - Im an ABU with a strong Liverpool leaning

    Did your family influence your decision to support that team? - No. When I was about 10 or 11 someone once told me Peter Schmichael had never once let in a goal.

    It was at that point I decided to be ABU. Though tbh I didnt really start watching non internationals regularly until my late teens.
