Ooh Mandy - I looked after Steve Perryman's mum when I was nursing!! She was lovely (so was he  ;)   )  He managed 'my' team - Watford.
I followed Watford home and away for years until we moved to Worcestershire and I married a Bristol city fan (!).  I was there in the John Barnes and Luther Blissett days, Elton John, Graham Taylor and my all time favourite *unknown* Rick Holden. Thems' were the days  ;D [size=78%] [/size]

When I was 5 years old in the early fifties, my dad took me to the Molineux to see Wolves play and beat Liverpool 4-0, Billy Wright was captain , That evening after the game we went to the Fieldhouse pub at Claregate , Billy Wright turned up as usual as he was in digs just round the corner,and us lads had a kick about in the car park with him, this was a regular occurance .
Derek Dougan used to walk his dog down Keepers lane at the back of our house with my father in the seventies so it's natural for me to follow the missfortunes of Wolves.

I was disallowed from attending football matches as a girl; parents thought that football crowds were rowdy and football grounds unsafe places to be.

My local team was Wolves, so one Saturday me and my boyfriend were planning, my folks being away for the day, to go to Molineux to see Liverpool play Wolves (the boyfriend was from Liverpool and hence supported them fanatically.)  Sadly, parents had a change of plans and arrived home just as we were about to leave, so I never did get to that football match.

40 years later, I finally got taken to a football match.  BH is a closet Arsenal supporter, now I'm up here I like the Magpies (but still have a soft spot for Wolves - and Villa too), so, as the match was more-or-less on my birthday, we went to see Arsenal at St James' Park.  It was that match.  BH enjoyed the first half very much.  And I saw the most exciting second half most people can ever remember!  There was a goal disallowed each way, so in total I saw 10 goals in the first match I ever attended!

My family supported Queen's Park Rangers over three generations so, if pushed, I would say I support them.  I have seen them play.  Been to three professional matches in total - various teams inclusing the Scottish Cup final.  Don't ask me who my favourite player is.  The last one I remember was Phil Parkes and he must have been in the early seventies.

I have always supported Man United - much to my brothers horror, as he is a through and  through Derby County fan.  Want to go and see a live match, but sadly getting a ticket is not easy.  OH was offered two by a friend who had a season ticket, and someone he got tickets for could not use them.  He turned them down, saying I would not want to go .......arrrrgh!!!
