DB10GOONER was born in Dublin city and emigrated to Australia with family at the age of 6 months old. Lived in Mt Isa in the desert for a year then moved to sunny Brisbane and lived there for nearly 14 years. My dad (who sadly passed away last February) was a Gooner from his days working in London in the mid 1960's and he made me and my 3 younger brothers Gooners too. Thanks dad.

My family moved back to Dublin when I was 15. I now live in a little seaside town in the Dublin commuter belt with my wonderful (understanding) footy widow - sorry, missus - Colette and two beautiful children, my son Jack and my daughter Alex.

Used to get over anywhere between 10 and 15 times a season when my Gooner mates and I were all single (and tickets were easy to get) in the late 80's early 90's but now it's more like only 2 or 3 times a season (4 or 5 times in a good year).

Usually to be found in Club Level cuz that's where my mate Doc J bought his 2 season tickets.

TH14 was a god in my young eyes and couldnt help but love the team the first time I watched them play. Havent missed a PL or CL game since... missed a few FA Cup games though (not as easy to see over here).

Fairly odd (if not difficult) to be a supporter of a football team in London when you live so far away in a country that doesnt know shit about real football. No one to discuss it with, no highlights to really see, and no sports talk shows discussing any events. Thank fucking god for the internet am I right.

can't imagine that at all, i started to watch gridiron a bit when it was in vouge here in the early to mid 80's. but it was never going to get in the way of real football. but fairplay to you and the other septics for keeping the faith.

Yeah, that's cool.

About a week before he died he took me aside, looked me in the eye and asked me, "Is that bollock-eyed fucktard Spudmasher still on the Gooner?"

Jaysus, I miss him like mad - but it does get a little bit easier to bear each day.
