well....

The first game I ever saw was Chelsea winning the Coca Cola cup. Ever since then I was hooked on football and a devoted Chelsea supporter.

Where's family influence in that poll? I think the vast majority of footy fans were influenced by their father or older brothers when they were younger, I certainly was

Yeah, and Media influence should be there aswell.

i was moulded into the beutiful game by my family! plus it was one of my favourite things to do, and still is!

Well for me it was my Dad since he was from England and is a huge West Ham fan and my friends also.;)

My father is a german migrant. And for a long time i supported Bayern Munich.

But once i actually spoke with him about it, and found out he played for his home town club of VFR Nuemunster, i was really interested, and when Germany won the euro championship i was hooked :)

my grandfather was 1860 fan-->my father is 1860 fan-->i am 1860 fan :)

Thats the first thing that popped into my head after reading the available options.

And that is the way i was "attracted" to football, by my dad, though not to the same club.

I got myself a copy of Fifa 2003 for my brother since he likes soccer, I was hooked on it after understanding the game, I used to hate it and always thought it was boring, anyways, i started watching EPL games on FSW, the first one being Arsenal-ManU :rockman: the more games i watched, the more i became hooked on it, I started getting all these great videos on great goals,skills and all sorts of them and thats what did

It hasnt even been a full year since I started watching it and theres no way Im going to stop now

HOW THE F*CK CAN YOU NOT GET ADDICTED TO FOOTBALL IF YOU GROW UP IN A CITY LIKE BARCELONA?

Well, that's what happened to me :crazyboy:

I don't really remember how I came to like the sport......I think I was 7 and my friends liked it and I began to play with them....cuz most of my family doesn't like it as much as I do.....they're like "you watch too much soccer" i'm like "I'm addicted":crazyboy:

I think if it wasn't to be a parent or friend then it's the media influence behind getting one into football more than anything.

Well there i was at the local food store trying to sneak a peak at the Playboy mags all the way at the top without getting caught, all of a sudden she walks up to me and asks me if i could help her pick out a new bra.....

Wicked....but whaz that got to do with this thread?:crazyboy:

Because we used to have (Indonesian Premier League/Galatama) in the 1st place & there was a local club in my town which participated in the league. Sure, I loved my local club alot even they finished the last 2 in the standings.

Things went crazy when I was a kid (12 yrs old to be exact), for the 1st time, I watched the WC in 1986. I didn't know any of the WC event since then. Now, I'm a big fan of International competitions like in WC, EURO, etc.

did i mentioned my story?

i probably didnt care about football until 1 year ago.... i was waiting for something so i had to read the papers....i finished reading the front news all that....then i come across the sports page where footie was involved.....i got attracted and i now own my very first footboot..:rockman:

i think it was the nude streakers that did it for me
