I think I'm in the same boat with vandread86. born in 1986 in a family that adores MU. My parents was and still is an avid fan of George Best and Bobby Charlton, whereas my siblings fell in love with MU during the Cantona era. Being young at that time, I joined them in supporting MU, but only until I was 11 years old. Turned 12, I was introduced to Liverpool by a cousin, and since then, I had been an avid follower of everything Liverpool. I can't really explain why the change of allegiance, it just struck me..the love and the passion of fellow kopites...
I started following the Reds since then while still being a fan of MU, and 2 years later, when I was 14, I totally abandon MU(mind you, that was their prime period, with Yorke-Cole partnership) and started supporting Liverpool wholeheartedly. The reason?I myself is still clueless..
