Wolverhampton Wanderers, as my dad was their goalkeeper for a short time many, many moons ago. Only been to one game (back in the days of the mighty Stevie Bull
) but hope to get to more when I get the chance, living up in Bolton doesn't make it any easier! I always remembered when I went how dedicated everyone who worked at the club, at every level, was to getting us back in the top flight again.
Not to mention, our mascot's well 'ard:

West Ham as born in East London & then we moved to within 1/2 mile
of the training ground when I was young.
It was great used to have a "3 & in" with my mates on the training ground on Saturday morning when the youths were playing
Strangley, my dad always took me to the Hammers even though Milwall was his team (he even had a short spell with the Lions in his late teens)
Guess its cause he is a football purist & wanted me to be the same
hence Sir Trev was my idol
Sticking with the "East London" theme also went occasionaly to the O's and Dagenham, always look out for their results and go to the odd O's game if I cant get to the Hammers

C palace cos local team when growing up
you are not alone.
I was a season ticket holder there for about 10 years but gave it up about 3 years ago.
Have been an avid supporter since mid 80s and can boast that during the 2000/2001 season (i think it was) i only missed 4 games all season (league and cup, attended all home but missed away) and i was living just across the Selhurst Rd at the time.
Also spent some interesting nights camped out in Sainsburys car park for cup final tickets etc.
Glyn.
Supported Man U. since I was kneehigh to a grasshopper, despite my Grandad's best attempts at sitting me in the Kippax every weekend after my Gran stopped going, I always wanted to go with my Uncle after he dropped us off at Maine Rd.
I wouldn't mind but this was in the late 70's and we were crap then, City were the better side. Must'a been the red shirts.

Leeds because i was born there- so as in a long-suffering marriage, for better or, as at the moment, definitely for worse I am lumbered with the mostly heartache they cause and there's no chance of a divorce. Ahh, Still we've had some good times together......
Surprised to see there are actually a few Man Utd supporters that actually come from Manchester

Lived in Dagenham untill i was 22 ....my mates dad across the road came from Salford Manchester and gave me a load of programes with photo,s of Bestie, Law ,Charlton......but i always wanted to be Willie Morgan !!!! Being surrounded by West ham mates didnt make life easy at school, but the more stick they gave the more i wanted to support the red side of Manchester......kids eeehhhh !!!
Love footy but hate the way the game has gone , so now go back to my roots and donate to the mighty Dagenham & Redbridge FC.
