Did you inherit or to support Spurs??

[Tottenham_God]

I am from a country where Football is not particularly popular and have no personal affiliation with London.

I played football, and had the typical big clubs thrown in my face by the front runners who loved United, Arsenal, Liverpool. But, I suppose being somewhat of a contrarian I knew I wanted to be different.

So, I more or less had free reign to pick which side I wanted to follow (I know right why did I curse myself with spurs?) This was in the mid 000s when I was entering my teenage years. Carrick, Modric, Van Der Vart, Bale, Keane and co drew me to the club. It was always exciting and I never knew what Tottenham were going to serve up. But I knew it was going to be fun and loved it.

So I knew Tottenham was my club.

I am curious as to your experiences ? I know the vast majority probably either due to geography or family - inherited spurs. But would love to hear why you chose Tottenham if not?

 

[Guntz]

Inherited.

Unfortunately...

 

[Tottenham_God]

Inherited.

Unfortunately...

Do you think I'm nuts ?

Hoddle made me beleive this was the right way even though most family was scum

 

[For the love of Spurs]

I decided to follow them.

Like heart disease Tottenham runs in the family.

I like to think I got a primer early in how to deal with disappointment compared to a lot of my friends.

Inherited.

Unfortunately...

Same unfortunately.

Although I probably would have become a Newcastle fan if it wasn't for my dad.

Inherited, my family are from tottenham and supported since the start. Bastards

I had a liverscum candy silver away kit then i saw the 1991 FA Cup final and fell in love with Spurs... so I ditched Liverscum and turned to glory hunting... erm... didnt realise that would be a real bad choice...

You don’t choose this shit.

You don’t choose this shit.

The Americans did!

My dad chose them in the 60’s. He made me choose them in 1984. I’ve seen us win 3 (!)cups since then. Thanks dad.

You don’t choose this shit.

Always wondered what would have happened if my family came from the Wirral rather than Walthamstow - knowing my luck they'd all be Tranmere fans!

 

[PCozzie]

Forced.

So which year did you erase from your life: 1991, 1999 or 2008?

My dad wasn't into football but I inherited Spurs from my uncle.
I've now passed the curse onto my two boys but my daughter has chosen West fucking Ham because of her mother, the cow! ?

Think we all know they are not the full ticket tbf ?

Bloodline runs through the dad to the son anyway. It’s been that way since BC.

Oh well - at least you won't have to help to buy her house when she's old enough; just cough up a couple of grand for a second hand caravan

 

[freeeki]

My family are half Manchester United, half Glasgow Rangers.

Dad is a season ticket holder at Ibrox, my mum at Old Trafford.

I’m the only one who supports Spurs.
