Nearest football team to where you were born - do you have a soft spot for them

[GaudinoMotors]

Born in wythenshawe hospital, does that make it county or city? If it's county then nope. As the crow flies I think it was Maine Road though.

Used to go to county in between city playing regularly, it was always a bit of a meeting of city fans,some reds and of course county fans, but the way the two of them ganged up on us when we were plummeting and they got successful, kind of means I don't give them a second glance now.

Altrincham? - Anthony Taylor has a soft spot for them.

I was born 2.1 miles from Edgeley Park and 5.1 miles from Maine Road
There was a time when I really routed for Stockport but one particular incident 20 odd years ago changed that so that I couldn't give a fish's tit about them.
It wasn't them beating us, or the true Stockport fans getting giddy, it's all about Taylor Harwood Bellis' dad being a nob

Similar for me pal. I also had a particular incident about 30 years ago. I was at Edgeley Park and when the half time results came and city were ahead there was a lot of booing, even the stadium announcer wasn’t happy with the booing. I looked around the stand I was in and saw a few dipper tops and realised I could no longer have the Hatters as my second team.

Aspland Maternity unit, Hyde. No, I don’t have a soft spot for Hyde United.

Born in crumpsall, so technically I guess Oldham are nearer to the then moss side based Blues. But fuck them. They talk funny.

I was born in Tidworth (my old man was stationed there), don't even think Tidworth have a team.

Grandale street, Rusholme. Maybe I'm a lazy bastard and couldn't be bothered going anywhere else...or maybe..I said, Maybeee

Boundary Park Hospital. No real soft spot for Latics though I don't like to see them in their current troubles.

 

[John Wayne]

Leeds United, and no.

Although Howard Wilkinson's team in 1992 that came back to snatch the title away from the Rags was one I liked (for obvious reasons!). Howard himself is a tremendous bloke and I believe his son manages our U18s.

I was born at Stretford Memorial Hospital ….

 

[Dodge]

Wythenshawe Hospital and more than a soft spot for Altrincham.

Many of the Alty Blues went to Moss Lane if City weren't playing. Great fun at Northwich and the likes back in the day (and York away)....
