What team/players do you support and why?
I only 'support' in a few sports/games really, but I do like watching a lot of sports when they're on even though I don't necessarily follow the players.
Most of those I like are influenced by my parents anyway.
Football is Manchester United, rugby is Castleford Tigers and Featherstone Rovers, in darts I hope Phil Taylor wins and Djokovic or Andy Murray in tennis. Then England in universal meetings. That's really the only ones I watch and follow sometimes, I'm not the biggest sports fan so sometimes I don't mind as much if they don't win.
What sporting teams/individuals do you support? AND WHY?
Thought this could be interesting just to see who holds what allegiance :P and added the "AND WHY?" because almost everyone I know who has a particular team tends to be a supporter either because it was the first team they ever heard of or their family support them, so wondered if anyone has a more interesting story to tell.
For me, it's Chelsea in football ... because they were the first team I ever heard of. At a time when I hadn't even played a single game of football in my life I asked a friend at school who he supported, and he said Chelsea (he supports them as a family thing) so I just said yeah me too and here we are 20 years later.
In terms of solo athletes, no-one really springs to mind that I particularly care about but I do quite like Djokovic, dunno why he just seems cool
