[Football] Where were you born (Sussex born people ignore this thread)

[Chicken Run]

Shoreham By Sea for me...




Kingston? Surbiton doesn't have a hospital? Just curious.

Shoreham By Sea, that’s Sussex right? Just curious.....

Millwall for my sins.
This the closest ground to where I was born, we moved to Brighton when I was young.

I was born in Gloucester but Gloucester and Cheltenham both had non-league teams back then so it would have been Bristol City for me. However I never really had the means or any interest in supporting a team or attending any games until I moved to Worthing in ‘83 when I was 18, then I started supporting Brighton. Now I live in Exmouth so Exeter City is the nearest club, but my heart will forever be with Brighton.

That is spookily close to me. I was born in Gloucester and moved to Worthing in 1983

I was a little older than 18 and now live in Australia, but otherwise spot on!

Born in Lambeth, so Palace. Mum and Dad Brixtonians, but never Palace. Grandfather's - Kingston Jamaica, and Whitechapel (Spurs, but as he got older he reckoned you should enjoy football as an art form, as supporting one team could make you hate the followers of others - domestic or international).

I was born in Elephant, east of Lambeth, I think you will find that The Den is the nearest league football ground.

Barnet

 

[Eggman]

Camden & Islington FC

Then

Millwaaaaaaall

 

[fosters headband]

Deal in Kent and for my first ever game my Dad took me to Gillingham

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Worthingite.

My kids were born in Lambeth/Lewisham and lived in Bromley for most of their lives,
Fortunately they understand that you don't necessarily have to follow your local team.

Cars-halton, moved to Sussex when I was seven. Nearest Wimbledon, my dad took me to one match but cannot remember a thing I only know because he told me! Isthmian daze.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Palace.

Thank God we saved you from the dark side!

My thoughts entirely. The thought that I might have been a Palace fan gives me the shivers.

Dumfries therefore the might Queen of the South

 

[McTavish]

Hmmm...the picture is building. We've had date of birth in "how many days old are you"; we now have place of birth. When is the "what's your mother's maiden name" thread going to appear?

Washington DC - so now it would be DC United but not sure what it was when I was born. If it had to be a UK professional team, it would be Plymouth.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I’ve put this thread on ignore for true Sussex folk.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

My dad told me my closest team would have been QPR but years later I worked out that Chelsea was equidistant from our home where I lived as a baby.
So it could have been either team.

 

[knocky1]

Another born in Exeter. 12 whole months spanning 2 decades was enough to make Exeter City my second team to the Albion since school.

 

[elwheelio]

St Albans City.

Home birth

 

[Brian Potter]

I was born in Shoreham, my mother in Rustington, my father in Cape Town. . . My mum was adopted, all her family (maternal, natural and adopted bizarrely) were saaf East London. Brockley, is a kbown adress, So Charlton FC. Those we still know are still local, Denmark Hill . . . Perilously close to hell!

Sorry Zef, but from Denmark Hill your nearest team would be Millwall, not Charlton. Alternatively you could go National South and have Dulwich Hamlet.

Darlington though neither of my parents are from there, just my dad had a short-term contract there at the time. Then as a toddler moved to west London, then south London, then to Brighton as a young adult where I've been ever since. So a bit of everywhere! My dad wasn't into football at all so no team to "inherit" from him.
