Martyn,

I have been a fan of Manchester United ever since the days when George Best was my pinup. Long before then they had very many fans here in Ireland. One of our travelling companions had been attending matches since before the Busby glory days. Ill health has stopped our friend attending the matches but he is a lifelong Manchester United fan and so, now, are his children and grandchildren. Like I said, there are lots of reasons why people support a football club and I agree with you that some of that is down to glory hunting but so what if it gets young people interested in the Beautiful Game.
