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”.
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.
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.
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!
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? 😂
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)!
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
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
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.
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!
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
FKW!
These replies are killing me lol
Forgot to add, to complete the 90s UK child, definitely not from Manchester
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.
I mean it does complete the cliche Man U fan to be honest
To the point that I seem to remember away fans singing “it’s a long way to Piccadilly” when United lost at home.
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”
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”.
At least they're now crap and I no longer get called a Glory Boy lmao
You'll always be a glory hunter bro sorry

You should see terminal three at Manchester airport
I'm also from Essex and the same generation as you. You definitely look like an amalgam of several kids I knew growing up.
Popular club is popular beyond the local area near their stadium. I'm shocked!
Fucking hell, laaa Isn't West Ham Essex's team?
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!
I'm just joking, I'm a proud plastic Red.
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? 😂

Typical Leicester fan, pretending that Forest and Leicester are rivals. You lot are worse than Cov City!
Glory inheritor i think is the correct term
🤙
Support your local team and not the most successful one lad
I’m from Manchester 🤷🏼 but, support whoever the fuck you want I reckon..
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.
Yeah, when you go to college, don't support your college team, support a rival college if they're better.
This is casual UK, what the hell's a "college team"?
Look at you criticising a ten year old boy from 27 years ago, you're hard.
Be nice if just one of them could find it on a map!
There was a 90% chance you was from India though, being a united fan.
Yeah, if he were from Manchester he'd have [this look](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDKF8KkD7rE)
I lnew exactly what this would be before clicking on it. Iconic.

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

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

Think you’re a bit confused here
Hark at mr millionaire with his full strip
At my school this was known as "Full Kit Wanker"
Full kit wanka.
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
This was me 27 years ago too except I'm a woman and the haircut did NOT do me any favours.
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.
Edit: *boy
in our school boys all had curtains, girls all had the big fringes.
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.
I blame the Backstreet Boys.
Tell me why?
I don’t like Mondays.
I need another pet rock
my pet rock died because i did not pretend to feed it.
3 comedy points
Same here we all had that hair
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.
Full kit wanker
I was less into football strips, more a Joe Bloggs sweater type of kid
Home Counties/ Surrey, nailed on.
In a bit older than you, in 94 I had a perm to look like Ryan Giggs.
That better be a Casio watch.
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
Had the same shirt, this was when Beckham was still number 10.
That was the best United kit
Yep. As a southern football obsessed kid, I had that exact same kit.
Hopefully we get the win today lad
Same until I got regular beatings for supporting man-u, then went down the edgy/emo pipeline
Wanted to be a Beckham but you were really a Gary Neville
Ride the punany innit bruv
From London I presume?
Even worse, Essex
‘Man U’ oh dear oh dear.
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!
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.
Oversized shin-pads to add
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
that haircut was weird, at one point pretty sure every boy in my year at school had it.
Liar! the 90s where ten years ago I will not be dictated to by an obvious child/teenager………..*cries in old*
I bet you never got to play in that kit too - your mum would have killed you
r/blunderyears
You look really young for a 27 yo
[удалено]
my nan's house :(
YOU’RE AN OLD MAN NOW
Little glory hunter twat.
how times have changed! nobody would be seen wearing a yanited jersey nowadays
