Liverpool locals only - Why and how did you become a blue?

[wabisabi]

14 May 1966.
I'm about 16 months old.
Sat on my Dad's knee.
Derek temple scores the third.
Dad leaps up.
I fly.
Yet to land.

My first game was at Anfield when I was 6yo, my RS Dad took me with my uncle. They won 1-0 and I wasn't that arsed

A few months later, my other uncle(Blue) on my Mum's side(all Blue) took me to Goodison. We beat Coventry 1-0. I don't really know why I chose Blue, I think it was just cos I had a better day out. Plus my uncle gave me a scarf and a little plastic EFC trophy type thing which I kept on my bedroom windowcill

My whole family has been blue going back to war times, the first one that is.

Because my dad was. And there was dark talk of children's homes if I didn't follow suit.

This is true by the way: The bus past Analfield... 'if you don't behave and be a good Blue that's the naughty childrens' home where they send you to be put right'

Anyway:

Grandfather (early 1900s - late 70s) took Grandmother (Liverpool born) to Goodison.
Dad (born 1930 in Everton Vale) still going after 70 odd years (first saw Dixie as a little boy)
Myself - born in Liverpool (clocked up over 40 years now)
Son (23 years old) - sits next to me..

No Reds in my family - NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. - or would be disowned if they were.

you know i havnt a clue.both my brothers are reds and both until recently went the game one still does,my dad was into boxing and not the footy, my mum went both games but was a blue,but didnt bring me, she went to wembley 1968 and left me sick on the couch with mumps,never forgive her,anyway my brothers brought me a liverpool kit to cheer me up,i was only a kid at the time and not really that botherd about footy more into batman, but for some reason i became a blue after that and the kit got left,maybe i was scared of being abandond agian, started to go on my own when i was nine then with my mates and thats it since, lucky i got mumps in the long run.

I want to try and limit this to those that are from Liverpool (either currently or originally) about how and why you became an Evertonian instead of a Red. As someone who always grew up in one team towns here in the States, it's always fascinated me how you choose between two "home" teams. The Everton/LFC split is particularly interesting since there seems to be a lot of "mixed" families, which one wouldn't suspect. I would think that you either come from a "Blue" or "Red" family, but apparently that's not always the case. if it wasnt for shankly and them 4 ****s jl. p m. g h . .and that **** ringo fuken starr. there would not be a liverpool football club . do you ever here were the rolling stones come from. no you dont. think about it. l f c world wide i hate them 4 ****s .

So sound off...I'm really interested in your responses and stories.

All my family are red. and i wasnt that interested in football, until a mate asked me to go to goodison, so i said yeah, and i was a blue.
I naturally went against the family clique and become a blue boy to there disgust.

 

[Deloodid]

My bro, had an Amokachi poster in his room when I was 3/4, from then on I was a blue.
