Just read Griff’s story. A lad of Catholic upbringing, raised in Hindley, married twice, a first son called Alex and a Latics fan throughout other than a slight wobble with ManYoo??? All this applies to me as well. Are you my alter ego?
In answer to the question on the thread, for me it was as a result of watching THAT World Cup in 1970, and being completely awestruck. I persuaded my Dad to take to me to a game when the season started again, expecting it to be at one of Man U, City, Everton or Liverpool hopefully against Leeds. He took to me Latics instead, and 40 years later, here we are.
