At Euro 2016 we started chatting to a father and son from North Wales in a Bordeaux pub. Turned out they were both Man U. fans. After a shaky start and a few pints we got into a decent discussion about football which ended-up with the dad crying in the pub over a signed picture of Giggs his family had bought him.

It surprised a bit about how passionate he was over his adopted club. Made me think a bit differently about ‘plastic’ fans tbh.

At the same time I’ve lived in England longer than Wales now but could never support anybody but the City. It really is a roots thing for me. We all have our own motivations for following a club I suppose.
