I started going with a school mate in the mid 70's , we were always fighting re-election but generally pulled away in the second half of the season , we were awful but I'd got the bug so what can you do ? .
It never occurred to me to follow anyone else , I could never get my head around my class mates supporting the big first division clubs but never actually going to watch them , still doesn't today .
My whole family were tykes , nobody on either side supported anyone else , uncles , cousins etc etc .
I never stood a chance in all reality !!!
