If you are not born or live in UK, you need a solid reason to pull you in. It could be a player, a game you saw on TV or just loving the current winners. You kinda start with something like that and then it sticks.Not having a go but I sometimes forget theres fans like you where one game later in life pulls you in. There isn't anybody in real life that I know who started like that.
Since birth for me. Cheering when my Dad cheered and booed who he booed.
I still remember our Utd fans v Liverpool fans kick abouts when I was 7/8.
I was a cricket loving fan from India, who used to stay late nights to watch FIFA WCs. That was probably the only football I used to watch or follow.
I think PL TV broadcast started sometime in 2002 in India. I can't really recollect how I came about watching Utd, but I used to watch Utd more often than others. RvN was my most noticed player. As my friends in college became fans of Chelsea and Liverpool, I slowly sensed a love for United over next 1-2 years. I would say reading about the Munich disaster gave me some kind of push towards supporting United. I had no easy access to TV or high speed internet to watch Utd play week in week out during my college years, but I still managed to watch some matches and follow news regularly. Maybe 2006 was the year I did watch almost every match and have been watching United since then.
