I really couldn't say - I hated football until I went to a match and saw Charlton beat West Ham 4-2. If I hadn't have gone, maybe I'd still hate football now.
Millwall as well. My great grandad and grandad were dockers, lived in Charlton (having been bombed out in Deptford) but were Millwall as were most dockers in that time. My first games as a spectator tot were at the den. 3.15 on saturday afternoons, after the battle cruisers chucked out.
Norwich - born there Lincoln - brought up there Burnley - family conX and first match I ever went to (1970) Plymouth - near where I live now Palace - as near to where I lived when I was in London as the Valley was.
I'm probably going to be banned/shot for saying this, but, I was a Chelsea fan until I was 15. I had a season ticket pre-Abramovich but got bored of football and got into rugby. A mate took me to my first Charlton game against Middlesborough in the FA cup in 2006 (the leg before operation riverside!) Been hooked on Charlton since!
Funnily enough ever since I started supporting, we've finished lower and lower each season! Whilst since i've stopped supporting Chelsea, they've started winning trophies! (This season is the anomaly though!)
millwall - they would be my local club. dagnham and rebridge - some of my family come from romford. Arsenal - couple of my best friends when i was younger supported them. my brother supports spurs so that would help me lean more towards arsenal. Liverpool - my mum used to support them.
I suppose anyone is the answer. I can thank/blame my parents. I was born in Charlton and have never considered an alternative. If I had been born in Scunthorpe, I expect I would have supported Scunny.

That's right - support your local team. Mind you, by rights that means I should support Welling...
Brighton, mothers side is from there, got relatives on my dad's side who live there and a bloke accross the road played for them and used to get tickets for me and my dad to go see him play.
Leeds as my dad is a supporter. However, once I was old enough to know anything about the game, 4 years old, Charlton was always my choice and will be for the rest of my life.

Spurs because of a family connection to the club.
I got some stick after that game
Probably Arsenal as most of my uncles worked in the Woolwich Arsenal and followed them when they moved north of the river
My Granny worked at Woolwich Arsenal too. So I guess, I could have been a Gooner!
No idea of knowing.

If I was gay I'd be a thighs man.

When I was old enough to go with my mates we went to palarse v Charlton and said I would support whoever won.
palarse won but Charlton rampaged through Norwood smashing up all the shops and so they were the team for me.
How shallow I was when young.
1) Charlton
2) Charlton
3) Charlton
And so on............
Blimey. Seems like we had a close escape there ;0)
