Born - 70's child
Support - Liverpool
Family Influence - No - Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush and for some strange reason Craig Johnston did.

Is it a trend that Utd have more 'family influence'? Seems that way moreso than the other clubs maybe from this thread, but also from personal experience.

When I was in school (Cork) half the class, by and large, were Liverpool and half were Utd. Then when Everton won the League in 85 and 87, there were a smattering of Everton fans (most of them became Leeds fans in 92 and are now Chelsea fans), there was always the odd Spurs and West Ham fan. But never any Arsenal or Chelsea...

Cheers to the 117 people that have responded to this thread. I have documented all the answers so far and will continue to do so.

I notice a lot of the 'regulars' from the forum are missing off the list so it'd be great to have their input.

Mr Magnolia · 10-04-2008 01:01PM

Throw a link into the relevant supporters thread(s).

So you were 4 when you signed up? Or is it a typo? Tbh I'd prefer no answer than a piss take if that is one.

EDIT: Actually I know you're an Arsenal fan so if you aren't going to contribute properly then you can politely feck off. Your support is appreciated.

No family aspect (parents were Wolves fans as am I part-time) the 1974 FA Cup final did it for me.

Sorry that's a typo alright, by 13 I actually meant 25, and by Chelsea I meant Arsenal. The family part is correct though.

Are you trying to figure out if people aren't influenced by family are they just invetible going to support the best club bar the odd exception? i.e if there is no family influence seeing as utd were the best team when ,say i was 4-5 Utd would most likely be the likely choice

Could be argued then that he did influence you but instead of putting his team on you he turned you against them!
