My brother.........

he started visiting every football league ground [later recevied a certificate from the FA] and took me with him as a youngster [about 8]. He became fond of Norwich and selected us as a team to watch away from home in order to visit the different grounds in the old 1st division. This is when my passion for NCFC started and they became our first choice team. Rest of family are big Southend fans.
