South Harrow.

Dad was born and grew up in Haringey, though, as was my grandad. Grandad used to take my dad and his brother Spurs one week Arsenal the next. My dad and my uncle both chose Spurs. Both my uncle's boys are Arsenal.

The Wirral, Merseyside - my Dad (also born around here) picked Spurs as his team when he was 6, the year the double was won (glory hunter!). His family and my Mum's family are all Liverpool/Everton/Tranmere Rovers. My Dad, myself and my older brother (along with my nephew) are all Spurs - my younger brother is Everton, booooo!

The nearest top flight (more often than not) club to me was West Ham with Tottenham 2nd.
Evolution stopped me from supporting the Hammers.

Was born in Watford in 1968; moved to Hemel Hempstead in 1975 and attended my first game at White Hart Lane, with my dad, in April 1978. Was against Bolton in the second division and Spurs won 1-0 with Neil McNabb getting the winner I believe.
Most likely started supporting Tottenham because of our next door neighbour who had given me a cardboard box full of old programmes from the late 60's and early 70's, which must have had a major effect on me.

Nearest two clubs are Watford and Luton, both about 10 miles away in opposite directions.
