late starter me, first game was a 1-0 defeat to Wimbledon

Autumn '93, just before the start of the Euro run, I was 14.

Lived in the sticks and, Like SIH, my family was skint and had no interest in Football.

I started being a Norwich fan (can't say i was a supporter) around 91/92ish, when my Villa supporting mate (from Birmingham) insisted that the only way I would ever properly get into football was if I supported my local team.

I must confess that before the age of 11 I had been a Liverpool and a Spurs fan.

You can all call me scum now.
