Not a Manc myself but married a single mum from Eccles back in 1990. She already had 2 boys aged 9 and 11. The three of them, plus her sister, parents, grandparents, the whole lot of them, were Rags. When my 2 boys came along and were growing up, the influence of my stepsons, their mum and the rest was simply too much. I guess it also didn't help that the Rags were winning everything in sight while we were yoyoing up and down like a whore's draws! Fortunately, the older lad realised the error of his ways, and has been an STH with our local team (the Cobblers) for a few years now. The younger one, I'm sorry to say, is beyond redemption. Still, there is a silver lining I suppose; days like the 6-1 at the swamp, the Centurians year, all those trophies. I'm currently getting a lot of mileage out of our win at CAS (like most of them he simply refuses to accept it) and the De Gea situation.
