KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum What got you supporting Liverpool FC?

My family are from Preston, and after waiting for 20-odd years for North End to resurrect themselves, my Dad gave up and chose the nearest decent team and I made my decision in 1966...

Haven't looked back in the last 15 years: Mainly because all of our rivals are in front...!

I started supporting liverpool ten years ago. All my friends in high school were either man united or arsenal. I wanted to be different, so I talked to my dad about teams in England. The first name he mentioned was Liverpool. I looked up some videos read up on the history of the club and just fell in love. It's been ten years and I am proud to support this lovely club. Through thick and thin this is the only club for me. I am 25.

its a nice story. are most americans utd or arsenal fans then?

welcome to koptalk

Being from Liverpool, there's only really the choice between Liverpool, Everton and Tranmere. Though most of my family and a lot of my friends are Everton fans, my Dad is a Liverpool fan and used to take me to home games as a kid.

There's few things in childhood better than being taken to the match by your Dad.

very nice welcome to chelseatalk

Well man u is the mc donalds of the EPL they are everywhere. Most americans support what's popular. I see a lot of tension at the local pub where they show the matches on the weekend between rival supporters. There are many that are loyal to one club. Where I am currently at there are more liverpool fans than man u and arsenal. Then you have a small portion of chav fans and suprisingly spurs fans as well.

Also thank you for the welcomes. Faz is that a shot at the recent rafa debacle going around this forum. lol

nice one faz, very apt...

I started supporting Liverpool I think it was 97/98 season or around that I watched my first game it was against Coventry City at Anfield. Everyone I grew up with is a scum fan or arsenal fan. I still cant remember celebrating as much as I did when we won the Uefa cup under Houillier that was a great memory.

certainly mate .

Grew up in Belfast late 1970s and Liverpool were the team that were never beaten, the all red kit and King Kenny sealed it for me...
