BWA HA HA HA!

You are both i.d.iots!

Im from Sweden and when I was 8 or 9 my best friend was a United supporter. I got my first United shirt (Scholes) on Cyprus when our families were on vacation. The second reason was David Beckham and his freekicks, he became my idol. And then came Van Nistelrooy, he became my favourite striker of all time, I cant explain it but its just right there in my heart.

2 words....Best & Charlton!

my dads regailing of the busby babes did it for me back in 72,i was 5 and instantly understood as i havent seen my dad cry many times,this hit home bigtime for me..

My old man said be a city fan, and i said "*** your a clint", "id rather sh@g a bucket with a big hole in it, than be a city fan for just one minute"......so i supported united.

i supported utd as first team i actually saw and they got me into football with the style of football they played the quality of players they had, it wasn't trophy's that did it for me it was the spirit that the team showed and desire, as well as watching the 1999 CL final which the style they won that game not to mention the hunger they showed to come back and win made them the team for me

My dad is from Manchester, so has been a United fan most of his life, my grandad has also always supported United, hence I have been brougt up with United and didn't want to break the chain!

Mum and Dad are fanatical about United, there was only ever one team for me!

this thread always makes me laugh, whenever its made.

supported them since 84,i was 5yrs old,we used to collect the stickers for the magazines and the reason i picked united cause i loved there badge,believe it or not..this was a time when d pool were in full flow,most of my mates were pool fans some still are since we were kids,so thats were it all started for me,there badge ehh!..(a few yrs went passed and there was a player by the name of ryan giggs that was it hook,line and sinker..never looked back,and never would.....

I started supporting Manchester United in 1989 when I was 7 years old. Gary Pallister was the reason. Pallister was my favourite player for Middlesbrough, my home town and when he signed for United so did I. At the time Manchester United weren't winning trophies and I did not know any other Manchester United fans but that didn't bother me, I was happy watching them play and cheering them on. Gary Pallister continued to be my favourite player for two more seasons, but then a certain 17 year old Welsh winger became my number 1 player and he still is. Over the years I have had many people telling me I must be a glory hunter but that is not the case with me and once I have told them my reason they shut up!

Great to hear from people from different parts of the country and the world supporting united. For me its simple, im from manchester and it was either city or united,i watched united loose the 76 fa cup final and watched city win the league cup in the same year, i was happy for city and rem cheering when they won but i was devastated when united lost to southampton, i was 10 years old, without thinking much about it i just automatically became a red i hated it when they lost.
