That was me hooked, could never be any other team Btw, we lost 1-0 so that set the tone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 1961, I was 10 years old and a friends older brother offered to take us fishing or to Hilsboro to watch Spurs. There have been many times, since, I wished he had took us fishing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to take a 52 seater home and away from South Kirkby where i grew up in the 90's. I used to just live the opposite side of Hemsworth from where you may have been then. Sure maybe between 5 and 10 miles but not so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HootHoot Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Raised that side of the city. Dad was a Wednesday fan who used to take me to games as a kid. I didn't like it though as I hated heights and we used to sit right at the top of the South (I think?) So I stopped going. Got back into football in my teen years and started going to games. Found I actually quite enjoyed it despite us not being very good and well, here we are now. Nowadays I get Dutch locals to drunkenly chant Wednesday chants with me. Has its ups and downs but I wouldn't want to support anybody else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
