Second teams

[itsaintfunny]

Ok we all have our team but sometimes for all sorts of reasons we have a second team.
Long time ago mine was Don Revie's Leeds -not a popular choice but some great players if a little too much gamesmanship at times.
For a while now its Norwich-generally play some decent football and more of a team who seem to play for one another .
What about you ?

Swansea, as Ann's (BabySpice) Auntie was tea lady at the Vetch for 43 years. Her house backed onto the Vetch and she had a gate directly from her back garden into the ground.

West Ham. My dad's team, he's from the East End. I don't actually support them, I can only support one team, but I hope they do well and it makes watching EPL games more entertaining (and painful!)

[JenniTalia]

Arbroath (Scottish League 1 club) - lived there for 8 years from 1961 - 1969 and boy did I get some stick in 1966!!!!

Dundee United while being a student at University in the city.
Won the Scottish premier League while I was there, also loosing European Cup semi-finalists in '84 to Roma and loosing UEFA Cup finalists in '87 to Goteburg. Still remember with pride watching the Tangerines against Barcelona in '86 at Tannadice, Terry Venables as manager and Gary Linneker as the most expensive player in the world and we won 1-0 on a very cold and snowy night

I always like to see Spurs doing well. I don't have any link to them, it's just that when I was younger, just getting into football, when it came to the FA Cup final, I had to choose a team to support - and in 81 & 82, I chose Spurs. For the same reason, and I realise this won't be popular, I like to see Man Utd do well, because of the 79 final.

[Pompey Penguin]

All the places where I have lived: Hearts, Bristol City, Carlisle, Cambridge and Luton.

[Berkshire Blue]

When my son was a young boy I used to take him to FP and his hero was Steve Foster. When Steve was transferred to Brighton my son started to support them, and as he grew up I took him to see them a few times each season. They became my second team and Pompey is his second team.

[Fratton End Exile]

Roda JC Kerkrade, used to watch them all the time when I was based in the Netherlands, there were four of us - know as the 'mad english'.

for the UK, Aldershot - used to watch them as a kid if Pompey were away and Inverness Caley Thistle (where Mrs FEE comes from)

Yup...Leeds for me also....Norman bite yer legs Hunter / Bill Bremner / Lorimar / Clark etc etc
Picked them because I didn't have a team so decided on the winners of the 1972 FA Cup final.....coulda been Arsenal

[Pompey1985]

Pompey Reserves.

[uspompeyfan]

Northampton as I lived there and Bristol rovers because I played for them.

[FatBlueAde]

Gillingham, always felt they were desperate for any support they could get when I was doing up!

[RubiconCSL]

ChrisInLA will like that - Steve Foster is his cousin.

[Chiswick Blue]

Used to be Gretna before their demise, loved the rags to riches rise and the fact that their leading scorer was a doctor!
