I grew up in Worthing in the 1960's. The other boys in my class at Primary school supported teams like Chelsea, Tottenham, Man Utd , Celtic and Arsenal. I hit on Southampton because we used to visit the city a couple of times a year. Harbour boat trip around the docks etc, then picnic in New Forest or Mayflower park. It was always a place I liked. Even then I was proud of my originality of not following one of the so called big teams.
