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

[schmunk]

I'm nominally Dirty Leeds.

I could even hear matchdays from my street until I moved at 10, living just off Elland Road (it's a long road).

Stayed near Leeds until university.

Never been to Elland Road stadium.

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

Depends I guess.
Being born in Denmark hill could just be Kings hospital (2 of my 3 kids were born there) which despite being in Lambeth. also covers people living much closer to Lewisham.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Born in Solihull and my Dad used to take me to watch Birmingham City.

I saw Trevor Francis make his debut, aged 16.

We moved to Sussex when I was 10 and my new friends were Albion fans - I got taken to the Goldstone and was hooked.

 

[BadFish]

Born in Oxford, moved to Fontainebleau aged six weeks, then Germany aged 1. Lived overseas till age 10 when I came to boarding school in Sussex.

John Radcliffe??

I was born there. Both parents from Brighton.

Would be supporting Oxford (if fact I did enjoy a brief flirtation in the '80s)

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

A sub-forum for those of us not 'proper' Brighton?

I have an old Players Navy cut box with the address of my Great grandparents Off license, which is North of Brockley . . .definitely closer to Charlton. I have a photo of my Grandmother and her sister standing outside, must be mid late 1920's

Its my mothers cousin who is Denmark Hill.

I'm surprised it is not in the bear pit.....

Born in Nantwich so Crewe Alex I suppose although only team I ever saw up North was Northwich Victoria.

Was a Rugby League Fan (Widnes as I worked there, Jonathan Davies era) until moving Daan Sarf in 1995.

Mrs Jakarta was born in Lagos so no idea who her local team would have been!

 

[Grombleton]

Whilst born in Sussex, if we go to the nearest ground to the hospital I was born in...then Portsmouth.

My granmothers brother lived in one of the henrich zrubec designed flats from new . . . . her son ( my mums cousin ) now owns it. just opposite the park south of Kings.

I aslo found the house in ZA on google maps were my Nan lived, and father was brought up, they came to England in 1954, and Dad was sent to boarding school on IoW.

 

[N17]

Virtually equidistant from WHU, AFC & THFC.

Thankfully i made the right choice.

 

[Live by the sea]

New York ( upper east side )

 

[mikeyjh]

Derby, Derby. I move to Brighton in about 94 when I was 22, watched a fair few games at the Goldstone, none at Gillingham as you may expect and then loads at Withdean, I used to like going to Withdean Was vicariously involved with the club during the build up to new stadium.... Think I joined up here at that point.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Born in Louth Lincolnshire , nearest league team to me was Grimsby .

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

Chelmsford, Essex so I guess Colchester

 

[maltaseagull]

Cockfosters (Yes really!)

Could have chosen Barnet, Arsenal or Spurs.

But we left when I was 6 months old so probably not aware at the time

 

[Albion in the north]

Born in Chiswick so think Brentford would have been closest.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Tonbridge. In fact, my first live football experience was going to watch the mighty Angels play at the old Angel ground with my Dad and bro when I was very young back in 1970-something. No idea who against or what the score was (probably 0-0), but the experience is imprinted on my memory. Still keep an eye out, and was thrilled to see them on the telly in the FA cup a few weeks back. Of course, when they do (inevitably) hit the big time, I'll be able to say I was with them through thick and thin throughout their glorious journey!

 

[miffy6]

Enfield. Good to see there's some fellow North Londoners on here.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Wembley. So QPR. I'd have been happy with that. Good days and bad days. Decent ground. I actually use to see them a few times a season when living in West London.

We moved to Rottingdean when I was three.
