Ross County cos it's got my name in it and I like to pretend they're named after me.
Anyone who is in their 40s will have grown up with Football Italia on C4 in the 90s... more so than the Premier League I'll wager. And the players we watched week in week out... Maldini, Del Piero, Baggio, Recoba. Vialli, Zola, Zidane, Nedved, Signori. There's no one like them around anymore. If I have an Italian team its Fiorentina because of Batistuta and Rui Costa.Growing up, I kind of picked up teams from abroad to support. There was a lot of Italian football on in the 90's so I ended up supporting Lazio because Gazza was there and had a Nesta shirt before he went to AC Milan. Not sure I would say I support them, but they are my Italian side.
Madrid similarly because of the English players they signed ended up being the Spanish team I cared about most, even though Ronaldinho is probably my favourite player of all time.
They’re no Harchester United…The O's, been going to Brisbane road since I was tiny.
Fictional second team is AFC Richmond, obvs. COYGH!
