I think, for most of us, your club is your first true love. You never really get over that kind of love because it has a tendency to consume you.
I've been inlove with Spurs since I was about 4. As I've said before, my bed time stories were Dad telling me about the Double year, about us smashing Rangers in the European cup, about the culture of Blanchflower, the great Dave Mackay, Cliff Jones and the Awesome Jimmy Greaves.
He painted pictures of dreamy Football that came to life, for me, when Burkinshaw built that wonderful team.
I was ruined for anyone then.
I love my Wife dearly, after 17 years of marriage I'm as in love with her as I was when I proposed. But she knows, and accepts, the THFC were always my first love and I'll never change. When I lived in Blighty, and held a season ticket, she arranged her weekends around my attendance, as she knew I'd never miss a game.
Those you truly love may piss you off, but you never really stop loving them.
That's my view on it anyway.
