I'm from St. Louis, Missouri ( just like Tim Ream).
It's sort of a silly story of how I became a Fulham fan. On my first visit to London, I happened to rent an apartment on Wardo Ave. While out on a walk around the neighborhood, I came upon Craven Cottage and was just struck by it's charm. The Johnny Haynes statue was another thing that added to the idea that this team had deep roots, and I was interested in finding out much more about the team. I was a little surprised to find the team is owned by Illinois native, and almost-St. Louis Rams owner Shahid Kahn. (He put an offer in but was outbid by Stan Kroenke, who quickly moved the team to Los Angeles.)
I'm a recent fan of soccer, and I'm eager to learn more about the sport. I do like American football and baseball, but have found both of those sports have become overburdened with so many rules that the games are becoming tedious. I really don't know much about the team, or the league, but I am learning a lot, and am really excited about watching Fulham this season.
