I have very catholic tastes in my affection for various football clubs, far too many to mention. The reason for that is I spent my formative years in the Bournemouth area and the nearest first-class football was at Portsmouth. Bournemouth and Boscombe were in the Third Division South, and Southampton flitted between that division and the Second, with no big-name players in view. BUT I did for a period train at the Boscombe football ground when Bill McGarry was the manager. He had played for England as a wing half in a ‘B’ international, was a great enthusiast and had success whilst at the club; similarly with Harry Redknapp in later years.
Bournemouth is a delightful ground with a superb playing surface, and the club flattered to deceive on a number of occasions. They were always entertaining and welcoming.
In 1980 I moved to Leeds where I was introduced to their football team and also rugby league; both clubs were at the top of their form at that period, Leeds United, in fact, fielding 11 internationals most Saturdays.
Now I live on the Surrey/Hampshire border and am attracted to the Aldershot Football Club, which I am told has the largest playing surface of any club, certainly in England and maybe in the British Isles - strange but, I’m told, true. Each year they try for promotion to get back into league football, from which they dropped many years ago when they went into receivership, and hopefully they will make it back one day.
Good luck with the book.

My team was Arsenal. My favourite player was George Best.
I now feel football is all money politics and big business. I don’t really care for football anymore, but I also remember Pelé with fondness and respect as today’s players are mostly like soap actors: instantly forgettable and fake.
I would like to wish you good luck and God bless.

My favourite team is Middlesbrough, because of all the friends I have made in the Teeside area.
My favourite recent player is Mark Schwartzer.
My boyhood heroes were Jimmy Greaves and Geoff Hurst.

My favourite team, I would have to say, is England, and my favourite players were Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Moore and Nobby Stiles.
Best of luck with the charity book.

My favourite team is the Argentinean side Boca Juniors.

The football team we support is Crystal Palace Football Club (our recently retired headmaster is a great and lifelong supporter!), so that’s where my allegiances would lie.

My favourite team is Yeovil Town - of course - being an ex-MP for Yeovil!
I wouldn’t like to choose one of their players as it would be divisive.
Thank you for asking. Good luck with the book.

My favourite team is Queens Park Rangers.
Why? They trained near my school - Merchant Taylors’ - where football (soccer) was banned! Any boy seen playing with round balls in the quad will be beaten!
My favourite player was Stan Bowles. For a while we went out with sisters and knew each other well.

I’m afraid I’m not a dedicated football fan, although Stanley Matthews was a boyhood hero, because he was a clean player and a decent man. I’m a great admirer of Thierry Henry because of his delicacy and finesse.
My favourite team would have to be Fulham, because my youngest son is a fan.
Good luck with the book.

As a schoolboy I supported Norwich City, which my grandfather used to take me to watch, and also Chelsea. Now Norwich is my local team so they still get my vote. Nowadays I’m not a huge football fan but I can still scream at the television with the best of them when the World Cup is on!
As for an individual player, I still think George Best was the most sublime I have ever seen. It was just beautiful to watch. He was touched by genius - and the attending demons!

My favourite football team (US) was the Chicago Bears. I watched with youthful enthusiasm years ago when they and their dynamic coach Mike Ditka mowed down the team on the way to the Superbowl. Of course every young guy’s favourite player was the superhuman quarterback Walter Paten, whose astoundingly athletic performance saw me drag my skinny butt down the gym day in, day out, for years.
When it comes to Aussie teams, who can beat the passion of the Socceroos? Australians play everything with a passion that makes it that much harder to become a stand-out player. So I’ll just say I love them all, but oh so much more when they win!

My favourite team is Fulham and it has been for many years, although in the late eighties/early nineties I went to Chelsea and Fulham home games as they played on alternate Saturdays. When the shed at Stamford Bridge was taken down, I followed Fulham exclusively around the United Kingdom and was on the team coach for the Carlisle and Mansfield games which saw Mickey Adams and Fulham win promotion to the Second Division. Rod Mcree’s goal at Carlisle and Mickey Conroy’s goal from the halfway line against Wycombe Wanderers are the best goals I have seen at Fulham, as well as Paul Moody against Preston NE.
My footballing heroes when I was very young were Alan Hansen, Kenny Daglish, Terry McDermott and Jimmy Case. I supported Liverpool for a couple of years. My favourite all-time player was Bob Wardle, the Shrewsbury goalkeeper, as I wrote to him when I was ten and he replied in depth; you just would not get that now.
I still look out for Fulham, although I gave up my season ticket there six years ago. I miss the club as it was, struggling and grateful for funds. These days I spend more time watching Lincoln City or Shrewsbury Town, as this to me is real football, watched by real
