Topic: Who introduced you to this great club of Liverpool?

[Babelmania]

Well for me, it was my Dad, and at the age of about 4-5. Having previously lived in England, brought up in the dingle of Liverpool, he was there for all the glory days of the 60-70's amongst the kop .

I know I live in Australia, but I love Liverpool with all my heart and have an unbelievable passion for this club.

How about everyone else?

I come from a Maltese family of uncles who all support man united. I used to live with my grandmother when I was around 8-9 years old (1988-9) and watched Big League Soccer every Saturday morning. Then, I used to sneak into my uncle's bedroom to have a look at his impressive collection of magazines and newspapers. Reading the match reports, I fell in love with Liverpool and I'm now the only proud Liverpool fan in the family.

I watched the 2004-2005 Champions League final and Liverpool won so decided to support Liverpool.

[nittinivala]

I watched Liverpool-Leeds F.A.cup final  1965 on TV in Finland.Asked my elder sister
which team she supported.Liverpool because of the Beatles.My dear sister!
I will always be grateful to you.

[SKRTE[_]

Me and my older brother started going for liverpool at the start of the 04-05 season when i was 8 having watched previous champions league encounters because thats all they show on free to air tv in aus.

I got given  a man-u shirt when I was little, and my next door neighbor who we were really close to, came over and told me I wasnt welcome at his house anymore cause of the shirt. Then told me all about Liverpool, I binned the shirt and loved hearing all these stories about Liverpool in the good old days. European nights, The Kop, even told me about the 96 and about Heysel. Back then premier league didnt get half the coverage it does now. But I madly read the newspapers for any news on Liverpool. And always took note to check how the mancs and Everton were doing and hope they would be down the bottom. Never looked back. When we got the internet I was on Liverpool and football websites every night after school. I'm 20 now and can't wait to get to Anfield either next year or 2011....ah hope this all makes sense...im pissed as

MBC...or Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation around 1994/5/6 one of those years or even earlier. Became a Liverpool fan cos of Mcmanaman. However his resemblence to Giggs in my young age was quite funny. Of course the 4-3 wins against Newcastle springs up to mind those years...UNBELIEVABLE.

Shifted to India in 1997 continued watching the Premier League. Slowly with the turn of the millenium and last 5 years especially have witnessed the amount of people my age grow with the game and start becoming fans of the various clubs. Lucky for me I started off as a 6 year old.

My Dad's enthusiasm for cricket and football must not be forgotten. The very first game my dad and my mom chose teams (dont remember which clubs) and started bantering though even they knew little of the clubs really enticed me towards the game. I still own the Carlsberg 1996 (approximate) jersey with those three white stripes on either side.

Dad became a big fan of Keegan's Newcastle..I continued my love for Liverpool...and 15 years on its stronger than ever...

[crazeehorse]

My Grandad.

im an aussie, but pop was born and raised on merseyside and now lives on the south coast of australia.We still chat and email about lfc when we get the chance,and hes told me many a story about anfield pre shankly, as he migrated to new york in just before shanks arrived.
 im pretty much the only grand child who took the lfc obsession over from him, and very proud of that too.i love lfc, and so will my sons.thanks grandad!

[OOT'erConnie]

I love this club and have an unbelievable passion for its past, its present and the future years i hope to enjoy with it.

Cringe cringe cringe.

[vader90]

Michael Owen. The only player who I was a fan of apart from Sami Hyppia. Sometimes I wonder at the two polar opposites of players who both made an impression in the same game on me. *Arsenal-Liverpool FA cup final 2001*

I knew your great uncle, we weren't mates but we did chat now and again

[robbie96]

My Dad - he was unsuccessful convincing his "five" boys to be interested in "his team" but, his lil'girl at 3 was a captive audience!

[El_9_Nino]

Happened to be by chance in a way. Was into cricket more than football but was just flicking over the channels and Liverpool were playing against some other team. Decided to go on the internet and research about things like the Premier League - it's 20 clubs - Liverpool and it's players and basically fell in love.

[snapdad]

My dad. During his speech in my confirmation he decided that the best he could say was already written, so he sang You'll Never Walk Alone in front of the whole crowd. There's been no way back ever since and we still watch games together almost every weekend.

OK...I know I'm being way to "female" but, that is just so sweet! 

[HowHard-Gerrard]

Had the footy shirts handed down to me as a kid from my two older brothers and two older cousins, so it took off from there.

[thredworm]

Introduced? Nah, that doesn't really happen, you're just born into it. My old man wouldn't have had it any other way. He'd have probably topped himself if he had to tell me who to support.

My Dad's a scouser so half my family lived in the city, don't remember being indoctrinated with a love for the Club it was just hard-wired in me right from the start.

Growing up in North Kent most of my mates were supporters of the London clubs, used to go with them to a London game most weeks, enjoyed all the games at West Ham & must confess I still have a soft spot for Millwall,......the Everglades
 

[Babelmania]

I can never get over 2005 CL final, my dad literally jumped up and down together, with scarves in our hands, wearing the Liverpool shirt so proud, and I was in tears of joy, and we hugged.

These are the father/son moments that will never be forgotten.

[I will always be singing YNWA]

my dad, but the defining moment is a certain match against new castle where we won 4-3
with collymore scoring the last minute goal

[Lyndsey_LFC]

Well I was born with it also, my first name is Kenny and my middle name is Ian.

Why bother posting in it if you having to contribute?

Agree and you get new topic like this every week.

So do I really, because it's like you have to explain why you support Liverpool, which isn't really necessary.

I was born in Toxteth and my family moved to Bristol when I was 5, and now we've been here ever since. I don't sound scouse, my parents do, but I don't, so I constantly get asked why I support Liverpool and have to go through the story a billion times.

[kirkyg]

you can't hate it that much you've been involved from the start piss take or not

Is there something wrong with hearing about different people's experiences?

[tick]

None of my family give a stuff about football or sport in general really, started playing  when I was 8, went to school in year 5 and 6 with a dude who was football mad, and drew all the logos off by heart in paintshop. Got in to premier league in a big way cause of him, and decided to go for liverpool when I read about a young lad by the name of Robbie Fowler who scored 5 goals in a game, and I had found my new god. The hat trick in 5 minutes sealed the deal. Not much coverage in australian papers back then, and no internets.


A year later I was given a yearbook of Manu's "famous" victory by someone and have hated them with an absolute passion ever since. (not that I liked them before hand or anything)

[thredworm]

What-evahhh.

Nope.

[amir87]

I honestly can't remember how or when I started supporting them. I think it just happened

[CF999]

I now make the annual trip to anfield road with all the family and we all make it our duty to watch soccer am the week before we go to keep up to date with all the latest soccer chants.
