conor3 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hello, First let me say this is my first post on this forum...and I am a Spurs fan. My girlfriends little lad has just started showing interest in Footy..her ex wasn't into it at all. We've been kicking a ball about and he likes it when the footy comes on the tele.. This morning at breakfast we were trawling through some football stickers I'd got him when his sister announced he had chosen his team. With bated breath I hoped it was Spurs,I didn't want to push him..as long as it wasn't the gooners. He pointed to an everton sticker..now his favourite colour is red so i was a bit surprised.....but after much persuading and cajoling he announced Everton were his team... How long it will last who knows ..he's only 3..but I give my word I won't try and sway him away from his own choice....lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 You have a special child Conor, Evertonians do not choose they are chosen. welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Don't despair Conor, my dad was a Spurs fan and I can vouch for the fact that it's possible to happily co-exist . The lad is truly blessed, not the easiest path, but it's certainly character building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conor3 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks for the welcome guys... I'm not Conor by the way,the little fella is..I thought it appropriate to register him in his own name. This isn't just a suck up..I have no problem him following Everton..if he sticks with it...I often tell people I quite admire Everton,David Moyes and all.. You havn't had the money of some clubs.but,despite one dodgy year during your Champs league campaign have been consistent..I wish Spurs had been. Also you seem to have a good team ethos...looking in...not many egos on show..and Ive like Tim Cahill since he was at Millwall... Whenever I've been at the Lane v Everton ..always had some good banter with a lot of your fans.. So no worries with him following your great club....just thank god it wasn't Arsenal..especially with his red thing....was sweating for a bit..

Blue 250 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Chose his football team by us of stickers!! Late 1960's living in Norfolk, I liked the look of a FKS(brand) sticker....Blue shirt and white boots, red hair.....Alan Ball was the man......Everton the team! The rest is history!....Heartache, pain, Latchford!, Glory, more pain, red brother!!!!, dissapointments, the 80's, more Heartache........David Moyes! Was it all worth it?.........Bloody right it was. Though maybe if I'd picked out George Best's sticker...........NAH! The lad chose well........will he stick with us?......probably not, you'll be buying him a Spurs shirt next christmas .......good luck to both of you!

conor3 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I am a Spurs fan..have been 30 years...and if he was my boy by birth I may have tried to influence him more..don't get me wrong he's been exposed to my team..but it's his choice..if he sticks with it..and keeps up with Everton then I'll happily buy him a blue shirt ..... good luck to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cismo Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Welcome little conor to the blue world; your mom´s boyfriend seems to be special. He respects your decision; I think he´s the first adult I´ve seen doing that. Greetings to both of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
