Very interesting stuff. I always thought my Grandad was a bit weird for that. He's 94 now and one of the most interesting and awesome people i have ever known. RAF, don't you know. But ... i always thought it was a bit weird that he tended to support Spurs and Arsenal pretty much equally. Bless him, when the family are all together he does his best to pretend he only likes Spurs, but when he thinks he's not being noticed he'll slip on an Arsenal game and watch it with pleasure. We mock him, he goes red in the face and laughs his ass off ...
I never realised that in the older generations it was pretty normal, but it makes perfect sense actually. Back then i guess it was hard to get around and follow the team, you wanted to go to footie but couldn't afford the time or money to travel i guess. So went to any footie you could. It's actually quite nice. Love of the game, not tribal shit (which is also fun)
