    I think you might be me!!

    My excuse is, it was only up to the age of 10 that I 'loved' L**ds - and I've detested them more than any other team since (other than Sevco - obviously!)

    Liverpool and Rochdale for me.Liverpool after they beat Leeds in the 1965 cup final and Rochdale after having a pint in their social club before playing Barnsley and watching rain coming through the ceiling dropping into a bucket.
    Thinking back to the Rochdale game we had to fill a form in before they let us into the club.It was a little over the top we thought at the time,name , address occupation etc and a charge of 10p.2 weeks later I got a letter from Rochdale with a card stating I was now a life member of Rochdale supporters club.

    I still prefer Bootham Crescent to the new one, new one's nice but i prefer proper grounds. Don't like all the coloured seats they look like lego bricks.

    Leeds in the 70’s Giles, Hunter, Clarke and all that.
    I’ve always been a Barnsley fan but as a teenager it was the atmosphere ( and obviously the talent ) that I wanted, in those days you had to shout to talk to the nearest fan sometimes!
    I was a football nut in those days, so ai’d quite often watch Us, Leeds and one of our Central League games midweek.
    Then gradually as I got older sanity prevailed ( well I say sanity) and Barnsley was it!

    I lived in London during the 80s when Barnsley lad Keith Birkinshaw was managing Spurs and a number of my mates were Spurs supporters and always trying to get me to head to White Hart Lane with them. A girl who I fancied was a Gooner so I spent most of the time, when my BFC commitments allowed, on the North Bank at Highbury!

    Liverpool I was obsessed in the late 70's early 80's posters of Keegan and Toshack on my bedroom wall my late dad took me to the league cup final v Forest and fa cup semi v Arsenal at hilslborough but in the Arsenal end i couldn't hind my allegiance but they were great with 10yr old self. Funnily enough the first time I went to Anfield was that foggy night was it 85 and by then I was firmly in the Barnsley camp.

    When i was 10, and if Barnsley were a fair way away, my much older cousin used to take me to either Elland Road or Bramall Lane to watch other games. He took me to Hillsborough on a couple of occasions too, but just twice....onist!

    Arsenal and Inter Milan for me.

    Loved Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.. liked watching the Brazilian Ronaldo for inter.. seem to remember he got an injury, was out for a while and when he came back someone had been given the number 9 shirt.. so Ronaldo wore some like 8+1. Seemed hilarious to a youngish lad at the time.
