Am I alone in having a secret second team?
I grew up in Barrow and started going to watch Barrow play with my Dad when I was about 7. Barrow were really poor so everyone had a First Division team they followed. I went to Blackpool on a day trip and saw Spurs play in August 1961 and Spurs became my second team.
I moved to London and Spurs became my main team - I’ve had a season ticket for getting on for 30 years.
But I’m still a member of the Barrow supporters’ trust, buy raffle tickets weekly and travel around the south of England to see them play (when there is no clash with Spurs).
My dream is for Barrow to play Spurs in the cup, score first then lose 2-1.
Anybody else have a second team?
