'Allo, Friends.
1) I currently live north of Baltimore, Maryland. Before that Central Pennsylvania, Boston, Cincinnati, Indiana. Born outside Chicago.
2) Last year my son suggested we start following non-American football. My grandmother was born in London, so I did some research and discovered she was born in Fulham. The family lived on Escourt Road. A bit of research about the team piqued my interest. Then I watched a game. Gentlemen Jim, Jamie, Ream, Mitro, and the Cottage hooked me in immediately. A good friend here has relatives who lived in Brentford, so I had an immediate local rivalry to boot.
3) Not beyond the University team where I teach and team USA.
Here's hoping I can make a pilgrimage some day!
