Why I Support Manchester United - What Started It

I love football..I am the kind of guy who will stay up till the wee of the morning to catch a game live on tv and goes to work half man half zombie..

Football is the national number 1 game..It does not matter how low the national team ranking is, but football remains the most beloved sport. I think legends like super mokh, spider aru, santokh singh, towkay chin aun and many other great 70's and 80's players turns me into a fan..

Then, there was also the English Football (what it was called during that time)..i don't religiously follow any team at that time..it was different compared to nowdays..there wasn't any live game every week..i suspected the game that we saw on tv is a recorded match..God knows when the match was played and then shown on the idiot box..maybe we were watching last season matches..who gives a damn..tv is a luxurious thing that time and only tok ketua kampung has one..so, every time there's a live game his house will be like mini stadium..sort of.

so how a kampung boy like me suddenly supports a team thousand of miles away? what started it is somewhat silly actually..mind you there was no internet or playstation at that time so there was always some silly games that keeps us occupied..one of the games is by high five'ing your friends with a card on both playes..let it drop and the card with pictures on it facing up is the winner..(you know the cards similar to poker cards but with pictures on it??).. anyway, my lucky card is the one with the picture of frank stapleton..and at that time he was playing for manchester united..as a way of saying thank you to him for letting me win and amassed the play cards (i won quite a bit) i'll watched everytime manchester united game was shown on telly and cheered him on..the rest as they say is history..what started as a lame excuse to support a team turned into a very passionate love affair (with manchester united la not frank stapleton..haiyooo)..

so now you know..Glory Glory Man United
