Changing allegiance
Today I signed up for a new season with Telegraph Premier League, the free fantasy football league-a-like from the Daily Telegraph.
When asked what team I supported, I entered Southampton. Thing is, I’ve been supporting Man Utd since I was 7 years old, but the excess, the success and the downright rudeness (of Roy Keane and Sir Alex Ferguson on Sunday after the Charity Shield) made me plump for the team I had supported until May 1983 when Kevin Keegan (my favourite player at the time) left to join Newcastle, and the Man U team of Bryan Robson, Gary Bailey et al broke Brighton hearts in a thrilling final replay. Oh well.
