What inspired you to start supporting the Football Club you are currently supporting? For me, it was sheer emotion. I'm an Arsenal fan. Before the 2006 UEFA Champions League, I had no definite clubside I support. I would always want the underdogs to win even if the odds against them was 100 to 1. During the first half of the 2006 UCL final, Arsenal seemed to me to be the better side, they had more popular names compared to their opponent, Barca. So I wanted them to lose. It was a bad belle kinda thing. My support for Barcelona in this match was further heightened when Arsenal was a goal up. However, when Lehmann got that unfortunate red card and things started to fall apart for Arsenal, I began to develop a soft spot for them. Quickly in the second half when Barca started leading 2-1 and Arsenal was displaced to the underdog that I had always loved to support, I thought "oh no, this match mustn't end this way". The rest is history. They lost the match and I became one of their biggest sympathizers then and a fan till date. I'm actually regretting that now. How and when did you start supporting your club? 84 Likes 3 Shares |

Awww, sweet memories.....2012 UCL finals, was still in sec school, Dad and my big cousins (man U fans) where having this heated argument as the boys where gloating and trash talking Chelsea....dad being the only Chelsea fan maintained his stance that the blues will win the match. I still remember picking interest and also sympathising with my dad as those my cousins wouldn't let my old man be. Fast forward to kickoff, I just saw the line up of both teams... So many blacks in the Chelsea team and I had a notebook (chemistry) that the coverpage had chelsea players on it. I just went to sit by my popsy, held his palm, He looked at my eyes and I smiled while rubbing my small palm in his ....then I just said the word...."Daddy! We ll win". His response portrayed fear... "I di sure?"(are you sure?)... I smiled and said yes papa.... It was one hell of a match but I just had that confidence.....lol.. when the magic moment happened .....tears of joy streamed down my face as I watched my dad dancing .....He lifted and hugged me tightly ....that was one of the best memories I had of him. God bless and keep you NNa m...I love you with all I ve got.....Will continue to make you proud. 298 Likes 17 Shares |

2002, was still in primary school, i believe below basic 4. my father bought me a madrid jersey... With the player name and No 23, david beckham. It was completely WHITE and BEAUTIFUL. i only took it as just normal cloth then...we only recognise like clubs "up blues then as in chelsea and gunners as in arsenal etc". I never wanted to follow the crowd, i want a suitable club to support. I got to see this logo on a book. From A JOHNSON PUBLISHER, the love started, i made some reasearch, i was giving many names like the galaticos, white angels, madrid etcs, as i grew up i began to get attach with the club. The day i watch a match and they won. THAT WHEN MY LOVE STARTED FOR THE CLUB...TILL DATE I'M A DIE-HARD "REAL MADRID" FAN 57 Likes 2 Shares |

When DSTV became popular, foreign clubs was subsequently introduced to us. I liked Manchester United because most people within my area loved them. That changed in 2006 when Man Utd fraudulently won Chelsea who had been unbeaten all season. Everyone supported them; in their minds, the Portuguese manager was proving to be a god. I have always hated people who oppressed people, while developing a soft spot for the oppressed. So, there and then, the bandwagon love I had for Manchester United quickly turned to hate and I started supporting Chelsea since then. I also love Man city for getting this same treatment for being too good. Most especially this season. (Liverpool vs Man city comes to mind) 13 Likes |

Interesting thread. I guess my love affair with Chelsea fc started in 2005/2006 after I briefly flirted with Bacelona FC. It all began when I was an avid newpapers reader in that period of my life, each time I picked a newspaper to read news and matters arising, when I get to the sport/football page and glance at the English Premier league table One club with an unpopular name at the time use to be top of that table every week - l initially fell in love with the name and this club never seems to drop from that number 1 spot on that table for several weeks into months. Keep in mind, I wasn't watching football at the time nor did I ever have any access to watching the premier league (we didn't have DSTV), I just know lots of people (men) take interest in football and I also do love playing as well and could recognize some popular names like Batistuta, Ortega, Ronaldo and the likes due to the world cup competition. Club football was relatively new to me at that period in my life and the only club I stuck with but will NEVER admit i loved was Bacelona, this was because Ronaldinho; Man was a football god at the time, I loved him and still do. Ronaldinho made me loved the idea of picking Barcelona as a favourite club. If laliga was as popular in the Nigeria media at that time, I would have stuck with them but English premier league dominated the Nigerian media more. So basically, The moment of truth came when Chelsea finally squared up to Bacelona in the Champions league - I just loved the ROMAN ARMY era of Chelsea fc and their winning ways, it was a tough decision, however, I was neutral during that match but I could never deny the love for Chelsea at that point. Lots of chelsea players influenced my decision to have joined them and i remember watching their highlights on their journey to lifting the league, players like: Drogba Hernan Crespo Darmen Duff Celestine Babayaro Lampard Frank Baba Terrible Terry Geremi njitap Arjen Robben (man was playing like Ronaldo and Messi combined at the time) Gudijossen Kezman Joecole Ricardo Calvarho. I still love Chelsea till date and my daughter is will be named Chelsea. I love Roman Abramovic too. 23 Likes 2 Shares |
