I am from the south but I have links to the north. The father of my first wife, a lovely lady who I lost with cancer in 2007 after 37 years of marriage, was born and bred in Clayton le Moors. It is pure coincidence that my current wife is from this area. I spent sometime living in Harrogate in the seventies where my children were born. I lost my daughter in 1989 but my son moved north last year and now lives in Bolton. As a result of my experiences, abuse or banter, does not really bother me at all, water off a ducks back.

Over the years I have, in addition to supporting my hometown team, supported Harrogate, Brighton, Kidderminster, Stourport, WBA, Chatham, Bath City, Salisbury and Andover. I also watch Clitheroe on occasions. My brother says I have had more clubs than Tiger Woods!

And before anyone asks, I do not go south to watch my hometown team anymore because it costs £80 in petrol alone, and as a pensioner I simply cannot afford it.
