I wasn't a big fan when i was younger but got into it when my son started playing for the local Saturday team years ago.
That was not aimed at you its specifically, i get tired of reading and hearing the question "why do you watch a load of over priced prima donnas chasing a leather bag about" when you mention you are a football fan and i have never understood why people seem not to be able to keep their views to themselves as i said don't slate rugby and don't get me started on golf, each to their own as the old saying goes
