Second Team?

[lillywhites61]

When you was growing up did you have second team and why?

Mine in England was Watford cause it was my nans team, and growing up I followed marseille, Milan and Ajax mainly due to the amazing football they played.

Wycombe Wanderers, I was born there and went to loads of games when I was a little kid but my dad (lifelong Yid) always made sure I knew that Spurs came first. Awful start to this season though, a bit depressing.

Then I moved to Bergen, Norway and naturally had to start supporting local side Brann, and in almost the first game I saw them live in they drew 1-1 with Liverpool in the Cup Winners Cup quarter final. Got spanked at Anfield and haven't done much in Europe ever since but I still live here and if you live in this town you kind of have to support Brann, even though the club's like the Norwegian version of Newcastle (one club town, massive fanbase, consistently underperforming).

Grew up in Basel so FC Basel. Can't even decide which one is my first and second so I would go with both Basel and Spurs are my first team.

Due to having family living in both cities I early was affected by HSV and Bayern.

Fiorentina mainly, because when I was a kid, I used to watch Serie A on channel 4 or 5 (?) and just liked them for some reason.

Yeh I did as well actually, I think because of batistuta, he was awesome for them during the early football italia days on channel four

Had a season ticket a Ajax 2000 to 2005, when a young Van der Vaart was running the show for them.

Still follow their results now

Never followed any other team. My mum is a Coventry fan and its where I was born so I often look out for their results but that about it!

No real second team, but I do follow Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich. Bayern mainly because Klinsmann played there and I got to see him playing for them back in the day when I was a little kid. I still remember Olympiastadion in Munich as really epic.

I wouldn't say I support either team though, but I enjoy watching them and want them to do well. If they lose a game I don't really mind. It's a completely different story with Spurs...

Barcelona (cliche) but because they simply play football how it's meant to be played. Only team I always have time for aside from Spurs.

This.

Real Madrid because I have family in Madrid and get to see them from time to time
and my grandchildren are Ronaldo and Casillas obsessives.

Must get a sticker for my car:
' My other team is Real Madrid'
to go with the current one:
''I'd rather be following Tottenham' .

Yeah he was awesome, was one of my favourite players outside of Spurs throughout the mid-late 90s.

 

[Stavi]

Our youth team?

Use to keep an eye open for Hereford's results as my Ma's from there.

 

[LukaMotion]

My old mans a Palace fan so went to Selhurst lots as a kid, but don't really look out for their results now. Also been to Charlton a lot cause most of my mates support them, but again don't really follow a second team. Foreign teams I like are Barca and AC Milan, always used them on Championship Manager back in the day.

 

[sweyid]

Ajax (childhood team) and Bilbao. Used to follow Seria A during the late/mid 90s, but never really had a team there, but I liked Fiorentina.

Don't really care about Swedish football except for my local 4th league team. Got a soft spot for Helsingborg though, don't know why. Henrik Larsson maybe.

Still follow their results now

And a cracking result they had tonight

Fiorentina and Ajax

Barnet.. born in Barnet (1977) and went to quite a few games in 85-86 and 86 -87, always looked out for their results.
