We want to know: Who does your dad support? Whatโ€™s the closest stadium to your house? Whatโ€™s the closest club to where you were born? And who do you actually support?

Arsenal since 1960 and first game 1963 so never turning back but watched a few Luton games and even had trials for them aged 15 . My whole life had been around The Arsenal but still watch for Luton's score
Replying to @JoeBaker1971
So did you start out Arsenal and resist switching to Luton, Joe? The plastic astro turf years couldnโ€™t tempt you? ๐ŸŒฑ

Lovely lovely story , 1971 what a year for the Arsenal. We moved from London to Luton and I went to the school very close to Kenilworth Road
โ€”โ€”โ€” Best Leggings of the Night! Meet Arsenal fans Julia & Mark from Chelmsford. Back in 1971, her bedroom was covered in David Cassidy pictures and one Arsenal scarf. Guess which school girl crush turned into true love? โ€œWeโ€™re mad Arsenal fans.โ€ Mark grew up in spitting distance from Luton FC but โ€œshe rescued meโ€. Back in the day, they had to acquire their seat tickets from a certain โ€œBig Mickโ€ in the pub, who was 6ft 4in, covered in tattoos with no hair and a neck roll. โ€œIt was a bit nerve-wracking I have to admit, but three pints later we were all smiles and he even took a cheque!โ€ #findyourtribe #arsenalfamily

Create the ultimate music festival by including only 5 bands or artists, past or present. For this festival, Iโ€™m picking 5 acts that couldnโ€™t be more different from each other. In no particular order, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, U2 and David Bowieโ€ฆyour turn ๐Ÿ‘Š

Sutherland Brothers
What band or artist, past or present, do you feel is underrated? There are many reasons why some bands and artists never get the recognition they deserve. Lack of commercial radio play, neglect by their own labels and management are a few of them. My pick is Uriah Heep.

Back in the day, everyone used to have a favourite Scottish team. It was normally Celtic or Rangers although I always said Queens Park. Anyway, who is your favourite Scottish team now?

Started in the schoolboys and promoted to the NB but not often in the CE preferred to enjoy some of the shenanigans in the lower east but either way I feel sorry for those who have only known the Emirates
Started in the schoolboy enclosure, moved on to the North Bank, then the Clock End. Thatโ€™s the true rite of passage for every Arsenal fan of my generation. good days. Can your story sound the sameโ€ฆ if all youโ€™ve ever known is the Emirates?

I remember it well I was on the NB that night aged 15 and the first time saw The Arsenal win a trophy. I was at Wembley 68 and 69 and this was the first time I saw us win a trophy so will always be one of our finest nights in my mind

You keep on doing something that you love , it looks fantastic and I personally am envious that I wouldn't know where to start in creating this master piece๐Ÿซก๐Ÿ‘‹
Interesting comments made about me. Personal attacks simply because Iโ€™m doing something I love. Attacks from people who donโ€™t even know me. Iโ€™ll keep my thoughts and opinions about them to myself. Iโ€™m much more civilised. My wife and kids btw are doing just fine.
