I grew up watching all the kids in the neighbourhood in Manchester United and Liverpool kits. My older brother supported Tottenham. So I asked my dad what other teams are out there, cause I wanted to "support something other than all the others did". My dad told me there's a team called Newcastle and that they play entertaining football. This was in 1995. I was about to turn 6, and my dad bought me the smallest Newcastle top he could find in our little hometown here in Norway, but it was wayyyy oversized for little me. Pretty sure it was size small for adults. I have to see if I can find a photo, I looked like an idiot running around in that and a Newcastle beanie I remember my dad told me it's possible to change jobs and wives, but when you pick your football team, you're stuck. And the poor bugger is stuck supporting Stoke. Bless him. But yeah, I never looked back. Been supporting through thick and thin. Lived in Newcastle for six months in 2013, time of my life even though we were absolutely shit. Made me fall even more in love with it all. Wish I could do that again sometime. If I could get my hands on a season ticket, I probably would tbh. The people of Newcastle are lovely. It's my home from home
