A friend of the family had a niece who was married to Neil mcnabb and he took me to Spurs v Oldham div 2 1977-78 season.
We won 5-1 and I went into the players lounge (porta cabins in the car park behind the shelf as the new west stand was being built)
Had some brilliant days and nights following our team and the odd bad ones but never regretted it.

Exactly!
has anyone ever cried at football?
I remember the only time I cried was when we got knocked out of the UEFA cup I think it was back then, byt Bayer Leverkusen
Never forgiven them for that
Now, I can;t imagine myself crying over football!
i went to the secondary school that started Spurs, in whitehart lane, n17, Billl Nic lived opposite in Creighton ave...so i was a spurs supporter from aged 11
I remember watching spurs on match of the day when I was about 7 or 8 I kind of instinctively enjoyed watching them play.
My Father God bless his soul took me to watch them against Portsmouth at Fratton park in a cup game.
I remember it was a milk cup game and Tottenham won 1-0, and it was either 85 or 86.
I used to go to old White Hart Lane regularly with some other Tottenham supporters as I got older and got married I just never get the time. Always watch there games on TV.

Uncle and Grandad were Spurs fans, no one else in the family liked Football except my Dad who was a Birmingham fan. Didn't particularly like him or Birmingham, so Spurs it was.
My real answer is that, it was basically my first day at school. A whole bunch of kids had a favourite football team, but I didn’t. One kid had a cool Everton bag and walked around singing ‘here we go, here we go, Everton are the best we all know’ so I was quite tempted to jump on that bandwagon.
But I got home and told my Mum and said I needed a team, and she said that her and my Dad used to live in Tottenham so that was kind of their local club.
So the decision was made. I managed to avoid enduring years of mediocrity as an Everton fan……….

I used to know a guy from Norwich who supported Everton. I mean if you’re not gonna support Norwich, surely you can choose better than that. Being a Spurs fan is hardly a bed of roses, but I can only imagine the drudgery of supporting them lot the last 30 years - but to do so when you didn’t even have to? Just self wumming.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be fair if I had gone with my instincts I’d have enjoyed a couple league wins as this is the early 80’s I’m talking about. They were good back then.

I was an Ipswich fan in the UK. I never even made it as far Greenwich.
My cousins turnt me into a spurs fan.
My dad is a Chelsea fan.

We joke, but how long ago was that?!
I have followed Spurs for as long as I can remember, dad was a life long fan and so I took after him.
Spurs have won 6 major trophies in my life time, but I don`t really remember the first 3 of those.
I can vaguely remember the 1984 Uefa Cup final, but my first real memory was the 1987 cup final we lost to Coventry. The last real moment of elation was winning the 91 FA cup final, and the two League Cup wins since were not as special.
2 paltry League Cups in 30 years FFS.

I'm from West Yorkshire and growing up one of my best mates was, and still is, a massive Norwich City supporter. Family connection to the club? Connection to the area maybe? Nope. He nailed himself to a canary-shaped mast for his entire life because he liked the kit. Not just the normal yellow and green thing though either. Remember that shirt from around the start of the Premier League that looked like someone had spewed up a load of Barcardi Breezer on it? Yeah, that's why my mate supports Norwich. Still, his hideous taste in fashion has afforded him a lot more joy in the last 30 years than I've had, so fair play to the colourblind pillock
