Thought I'd try and steer folks away from the usual transfer threads, Kenwrong threads etc. with something a little different, in the hopes that it will give some of us a lovely warm, nostalgic glow inside.
I thought I'd share my own story of how I became a blue, seeing as how I'm not a scouser and all (be gentle....), in the hopes that others might joint in. The how's and why's of my love for the blues is usually the first thing that people ask me when they find out who I support, so I figure peeps must be curious!
Right, well, I saw the (blue) light in about '86ish, when I would have been 4/5yo. I was on a family holiday to Blackpool, and we came accross a stall selling teddybears in the colours of all that year's Div 1 teams, complete with badge's stitched onto the chests. When I stopped to look at them, my dad told me that if I wanted, I could pick one and he would buy me it (I reckon you can see where this is going...).
Obvously, I picked me up an Everton teddy and, from that day forward, have been as loyal a blue as I can manage!
I still have the teddy, its still in my parents loft I think, although the badge that it used to have on its chest has sadly long since fallen off and been lost
So, that's how it happened for me......what about the rest of you?
