Re: Did you choose Blues?
Dave1991When you started following football, did you willingly choose Blues, or did you never have a say?
I never showed interest in sport until the age of 6. I came home from school and told my old man I liked Newcastle (because someone had given me a Merlin sticker of their badge).
My Dad, who went to Blues regularly from 60's-80's had lost interest somewhat with a young family, but that ignited the fire and he took me to my first game. Never looked back.
I count myself as lucky that he did that, expect I would have ended up being another plastic fan if I hadn't been guided.
I chose Blues.
I come from a family which wasn't into football bar my DVB grandfather. I was fortunate that when I was small and my mother was in and out of hospitals, the family friends who took care of me and my sister were Blues fanatics and they suckered me in.
