Before Ipswich, I fell in love with Ac Milan.
The year was 1995 and I was 9. I only had terrestrial tv, channel 5 fortunately hadn't yet been released and there was only four options open to me.
I played football in the playground where everyone was Liverpool, Man Utd, some Blackburn due to them winning the league.......... I did see the fa cup in 1994 with Man Utd 4 Chelsea 0 but didn't adopt either. Being a South West individual, the 3-2 game vs Man Utd stuck in my head though and by 98 / 99 I was fully ITFC. Oh boy how I pick them!
Now I gues I did the same! With Ac Milan's back four of Maldini, Baresi, Costa Corta and Panucci they romped the Serie A 95-96. I watched many games on channel 4 and remember James Richardson fondly.
Of course, 96-97 and 97-98 were an utter mess for Milano however they will forever remain my overseas club. [Post edited 13 Nov 2017 0:52]

I always used to have a soft spot for Lazio due to channel 4's coverage and Gazza - well until they stiffed us on a second friendly! |  | | |

Hertha BSC - got a shirt of theirs off a market stall when I must have been about 13/14 and took a passing interest in them from there.
Then I moved to Berlin in 2009, started going to games, and was hooked. |  |

RKC Waalwijk in Holland, all because of football bloody manager! Brought their shirt the other week. I now have a very keen interested in Dutch football because of it, mainly Eredevisie and Jupiler League.
I’d say they’re my favourite, but every time I visit somewhere, I always try buy the football shirt from the local club. Brought Hertha Berlin’s shirt when I went Berlin last year, and off to Vienna next March so have the choice of Rapid or Austria shirts! [Post edited 13 Nov 2017 9:01]

Duckla Prague until they dissolved because of HMHB. I like St Pauli again because of the cult nature of the club. I have a look every now and again for Helsingborg. |  |

Might be worth your whole contacting Simeone (Simo) Longo, who runs ITFC Italy. He is a Milan fan, but got into Ipswich in part through his brother, and in part by managing to get into the Ipswich end at the San Siro when we played Inter. Top bloke as well, comes over a couple of times a year. | | | |

Sint-Truiden in Belgium, because i used to go watch them when i worked out there.
And Ajax for the same reason.
Other than them, there's a pile of teams i quite like, mainly due to glorious success/failure in football manager games. Juve Stabia spring to mind. (Took them to the champions league knockout stage) |  | | |

Hertha for me too, started with a stag do to Berlin 7/8 years ago where we ended up behind the goal with some are the craziest ultras you'll ever meet!! Didn't stop singing and bouncing for 90 mins. That evening they took 25 of us on a 'cultural trip' around the city and we try and get over for a couple of games every year.
Brilliant place and historic stadium..Nur nach Hause...Hertha Hertha BSC... |  |

Fantastic stadium as you say, I went to a game last year whilst on a weekend away with the missus (she took some persuading). It was great though, we sat in the upper tier above the 'ultras' end and the atmosphere was unreal. They beat Mainz 2-1, and have always looked out for their results since. | |

Ipswich Knights in Australia.
Don't know why, but there's something about the name that attracts me to them. | |

I have four overseas clubs I follow: -
Forfar athletic - When I was little I was given a book that had all the football league tables both English and Scottish. I was a bit of a football nerd and studied them. I noticed Forfar had never ben promoted from the bottom league of Scotland so I took a bit of a shine to them and looked out for their results. Last year was the first time they had ever been promoted. Although they sit bottom of the league in the new league.
Real Madrid - From the time McMananman, Zidane and Figo played for them. And Older Ronaldo. they were a joy to watch.
Celtic - I watched them at Celtic Park in the Champions league a few years ago against Lyon. Bobby Petta was playing for the Hoops. I have never ever known an atmosphere like it in my life. So I have a soft spot for them.
Finally Colonge after going to watch them last season.
I don't follow any with any real conviction but they are the clubs I have a soft spot for. |  | | |

Queen of the South. I was treated to a personal tour of the ground 5 years ago - I was simply taking photos of the outside, and one of the Directors spent time with me. So, I have quite an affection for them.
I have been to a few games since including their famous 3-0 win over Rangers a few seasons ago. I think I'm correct in saying Palmerston Park has the largest terracing left in Scottish football. | | | |

Fair play. I had similar experience with staff at Easter road, Hibernian once so I always hope they do well, was delighted when they beat Rangers in the Scottish cup final last year. | | | |

My feelings about Lazio were already tainted at that point as I'd read the story of how their players and fans had behaved against us in 1973. |  |

Barcelona for me I lived there for a couple of years. I would add when I lived there I went to see them fairly regularly tickets were always available apart from the big games and back then it cost 15 Euros. At this time 2001 - 2003 Barcelona were dire, I left the summer they signed Ronaldinho so don't feel bad about still following them when they became good again. |  | | |
