+1. Mid-80s, before I was a Saints fan, I had a Liverpool badge shiny that everyone wanted. I made a lot of friends with that little piece of sticky shinyness.
My first school never did football, God knows why, but kids down my street used to have a kick around. Everyone liked football, and I was easily influenced, so I just followed the crowd - it was only when I started supporting Saints at age 9 that I started to LOVE football.
