Born in 1981.
My older brother was a die-hard Liverpool fan. He tried to influence me to become a Red back in 1988. But we didn't always see eye to eye, so I proclaimed support for the no. 2 team on the table at that time, which was Arsenal, just to piss him off.
I was too young to know about the need to win by 2 goals at Anfield bla bla bla, but all I know was that Liverpool lost and I can gloat in front of my brother. (I remember the gloating, but I don't think there was live telecast back then. Maybe we were watching the news...)
But I only began to understand things around 1990 during World Cup Italia (Vialli was my first fav player). Also started to play footie around that time, again the influence of my brother. Ahhh so many nice memories.

Ahhh so many nice memories. I feel sorry for Liverpool fans. Liverpool have not won top flight title for more than 17 years yet the fans are still amazingly passionate about their club. The fans really don't deserve that...  No wonder all ppl said Liverpool fans are the best in world.

United since 1994. It was Cantona that I first felt in love with, and from thereon it's only been United.

QUOTE(sigheart @ Nov 5 2009, 02:12 PM) Supported Arsenal since the 96/97 season. Reason = Love at first sight. Probably wanted to be different as well. Back then it was Man Utd, Liverpool, Man Utd, Liverpool, Man Utd, Liverpool.
Ah nothing beats the feeling and satisfaction you get seeing the club you support slowly grow from a mid table team to consistent title contenders and occasional Champions. Still remember Bruce Rioch's sacking 5 days before the season started very clearly with fans fearing the worst after a dismal league season the season before and signs of unstability so close to the season starting. But in came Arsene in September later on and the rest is history. some school u got there, i can only find one liverpool fans (except me) in my batch. the ratio of MU fans vs others is like 7:3

Late 80's for me, during the final days of Dalglish's reign. Back then the squad boasted the likes of Grobbelar, Nicol, Ablett, Venison, Hysen, Hansen, Houghton, Barnes  , Beardsley, Rush, Rosenthal, McMahon and Whelan.

born in late 80's.during my primary school days i used to love man utd because of schmeichel.then came world cup 98 when i watched france won the cup+arsenal came to malaysia.i noticed that the manager's name and the club's name was similar.started to fall in love with arsenal because of that.  another reason why i changed club because schmeichel when to lisbon after that treble year (correct me if im wrong).was very disappointed with man utd after that.to be honest,i really2 start watch football since 2004.before that only watch premier league highlights and amazed by the goals and the players.

Born in the 80's. Set my first sights on United back in the 90's. Big names were flying around back then especially from Liverpool. McManaman, Owen and etc. Gerrard wasn't even famous back then!
But I fell in love with Giggs. The lad had it all and was young back then. Used to practice football and pretended to be as good as him. Followed in and courted to support United.

There were quite a couple of Blackburn fans as well given that Blackburn were champions not too long ago then. And I still remember quite vividly when it was football time during pendidikan jasmani the dudes will be like always "Man Utd vs Liverpool" and that annoys the hell out of me to be on either side and I would be thinking to myself "Ah not this sh*t again. *grumbles*" Those were the days....lols

Arsenal. Born early 80's, support late 90's
Basically, it was because of Championship Manager '97. I needed a non MU and Liverpool team to manage and Arsenal has the best potential.
Also, I remember watching Arsenal vs Malaysia. Kanu, Ray Parlour that bunch. Can't remember the year. Was really hoping Kanu will kick a free ball (he got few) towards our direction back then.

First started supporting man U since 1991 during Fergie Fedglings era (Giggs, Butt, Scholes, Beckham, Neville Bros). Then became anti-ManU when CR7 came in. Started supporting Juventus, Liverpool and Chelsea ever since then. I still remember dunno what cup, Man U, Juventus, Flamingo and Bayern Munich came to play in Malaysia with our Malaysia Selection. Also the world youth cup when we saw the teenage Henry-Trez, Aimar-Riquelme partnership  Brings back so much memories lol. This post has been edited by SnoWFisH: Nov 5 2009, 09:18 PM

Born in 80's.. The 1st club which I started 2 support is Inter Milan.. Yup Inter..It was Ronaldo and Iván Luis Zamorano era.. Then it lead me 2 become Italy supporter as well.. Manchester Uniteds proud record of having gone unbeaten in the Premiership since December 19, 1998 was brought to an abrupt end as a rampant CHELSEA hit the treble holders for five This was the day i become CHELSEA supporter!!!!
