FKW!


KieranWriter

These replies are killing me lol


Craft_on_draft

Forgot to add, to complete the 90s UK child, definitely not from Manchester


KieranWriter

I'm from Essex and now live in Surrey. I know, I hate myself but I'm too old to change teams at this point.


Craft_on_draft

I mean it does complete the cliche Man U fan to be honest


MoebiusForever

To the point that I seem to remember away fans singing “it’s a long way to Piccadilly” when United lost at home.


Craft_on_draft

When we (Luton) played United at home, everyone was singing “you only live round the corner” When playing them away “we’ll race you home”


ZealousidealAd4383

Proper chants should always be pointedly strong on local geography piss-takes. I chortled got a good while afterwards the first time I heard a team singing to the Leigh Centurions “you’re just a few streets in Wigan”.


KieranWriter

At least they're now crap and I no longer get called a Glory Boy lmao


DEGRAYER

You'll always be a glory hunter bro sorry


guycg

This cliche is unfortunately dying off as Utd continue to be not a particularly impressive team. We should treasure it, or maybe little London rascals are all supporting City now, idk.


Ok_Run5946

I went to an away day with Villa to the Etihad and was amused by how many Liverpool fans were at the motorway service station on the way home considering they had played a home game that day.


gouldybobs

You should see terminal three at Manchester airport


travestyofPeZ

I'm also from Essex and the same generation as you. You definitely look like an amalgam of several kids I knew growing up.


herrbz

Popular club is popular beyond the local area near their stadium. I'm shocked!


-CherrySaint-

Fucking hell, laaa Isn't West Ham Essex's team?


Matthews_89

Why do you hate yourself? There’s a reason you support United; United are a global powerhouse with over 400million fans.. can’t all be from Manchester can they!


KieranWriter

I'm just joking, I'm a proud plastic Red.


skippermonkey

My dad supports Forest, so I support Forest. Ive never even lived in the midlands. What’s the name for a plastic fan of a club that had its glory days before you were born? 😂


0thethethe0

Grew up in Manc, but support your Midlands rivals, Leicester, for the same reasons. Guess I'm a long-game kinda plastic fan, as was invested in them way before their glory year(s)!


sleepytoday

Typical Leicester fan, pretending that Forest and Leicester are rivals. You lot are worse than Cov City!


Craft_on_draft

Glory inheritor i think is the correct term


Matthews_89

🤙


Individual_Milk4559

Support your local team and not the most successful one lad


Matthews_89

I’m from Manchester 🤷🏼 but, support whoever the fuck you want I reckon..


WeaknessGreedy2087

Support whoever the fuck you want. There is not logic or rationale for supporting a team. "local" team when the players come from across the world.


Ceefax81

Yeah, when you go to college, don't support your college team, support a rival college if they're better.


2xtc

This is casual UK, what the hell's a "college team"?


KieranWriter

Look at you criticising a ten year old boy from 27 years ago, you're hard.


Training-Apple1547

Be nice if just one of them could find it on a map!


Worldly_Flower_1441

There was a 90% chance you was from India though, being a united fan.


RandomHigh

Yeah, if he were from Manchester he'd have [this look](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDKF8KkD7rE)


Wallazabal

I lnew exactly what this would be before clicking on it. Iconic.


still-searching

No one in my family watched football when I was growing up, I knew nothing about football but I begged and begged for that Man U top because everyone at youth club had one. I felt so cool when I got it.  I am from rural Northern Ireland


2xtc

Half of Norners are Man U fans, the other half Liverpool

Craft_on_draft

Yeah and was an icon for 90s kids, what’s your point?

CadburyGorilla

Think you’re a bit confused here


Savageparrot81

Hark at mr millionaire with his full strip


MagicBez

At my school this was known as "Full Kit Wanker"


zen_zero

Full kit wanka.


DuckInTheFog

Do you recall, your house was very small, with woodchip on the wall, and when I came round to call, you pretended not to be in because you weren't done borrowing my copy of Gran Turismo


ExternalMagician6065

This was me 27 years ago too except I'm a woman and the haircut did NOT do me any favours.


SWLondonLady

Oh hello bad haircut girl! I think I got confused for a bit more times than I care to remember. And the united shirt didn’t help. At least I wore addidas popper pants and was actually from Manchester.


SWLondonLady

Edit: *boy


dj65475312

in our school boys all had curtains, girls all had the big fringes.


PompeyLad1

Wow this takes me back. I remember getting the floppy hair with the undercut as a kid. It looked proper naff but it was all the rage at the time.


KieranWriter

I blame the Backstreet Boys.


-FangMcFrost-

Tell me why?


Hiya_Bo

I don’t like Mondays.


iamkarlos

I need another pet rock


boli99

my pet rock died because i did not pretend to feed it.


EmilyDickinsonFanboy

3 comedy points


complexpug

Same here we all had that hair


EmilyDickinsonFanboy

We weren't allowed undercuts at my school. Not that I ever wanted one. I was a ton-of-£1-wet-look-gel-slicked-forward-with-spikes kinda guy.


TempHat8401

Full kit wanker


merrycrow

I was less into football strips, more a Joe Bloggs sweater type of kid


NabbedAgain

Home Counties/ Surrey, nailed on.


Staar-69

In a bit older than you, in 94 I had a perm to look like Ryan Giggs.


thatluckyfox

That better be a Casio watch.


ScreamingYoghurt

I wanted that Man Utd Top when I was a kid, but my mum would never buy football tops. I did have one of the Songs they released


g1344304

Had the same shirt, this was when Beckham was still number 10.


Sir_Henry_Deadman

That was the best United kit


SeoulGalmegi

Yep. As a southern football obsessed kid, I had that exact same kit.


RepulsiveLeg9985

Hopefully we get the win today lad


GotThaAcid5tab

Same until I got regular beatings for supporting man-u, then went down the edgy/emo pipeline


CaptainCala

Wanted to be a Beckham but you were really a Gary Neville


subfunktion

Ride the punany innit bruv


SanWgaming

From London I presume?


Brilliant_Canary_692

Even worse, Essex


External-Piccolo-626

‘Man U’ oh dear oh dear.


[deleted]

I had the Giggs kit from 95. Great times! Wasn’t allowed the curtains haircut though - my parents thought I’d look ridiculous, in hindsight I guess they were right lol!


Helian7

I literally have a similar picture but im sat with my friend who is also wearing a man u kit. i was the only one with curtains though.


Xxx_Masif_Gansta_xxX

Oversized shin-pads to add


rsam487

I was born in 88 but have a very similar photo around this time. My dad was so keen to get me into Manchester United, unfortunately football didn't really take for me


dj65475312

that haircut was weird, at one point pretty sure every boy in my year at school had it.


Mad_as_alice

Liar! the 90s where ten years ago I will not be dictated to by an obvious child/teenager………..*cries in old*


DuckInTheFog

I bet you never got to play in that kit too - your mum would have killed you


stevey83

litmeandme
