    Family didn't influence my decision, my dad's not in to football at all. Was watching the '94 cup winners cup final and just decided I'd support them, it kinda stuck after that. Suppose it helped that they did win that match.

    Liverpool/Bohemians

    My whole family is bohs so i had no choice in the matter. also everyone apart from me in my family is united(scum!) but my aunt who is a liverpool fan claimed me at birth. Apparently my first words were john barnes....

    21

    Manchester United fan

    Did my family influence me? Only in terms of me going a different direction. When I got interested in United I was young and easily led, but they were all Liverpool fans, and they took the piss out me supporting United, so my affections were strengthened. ;)

    Well I'm doing a spreadsheet as people post documenting all the answers. I'll ask for the thread to be locked probably late Monday so that people who only come on at the weekend get a chance to post.

    After that it just depends how busy work is next week.
