After listening to last week's podcast and the song 'My Old Man', it reminded me that whenever I hear it, it reminds me of MY Dad.
I love him to bits and he brought up me, my brother and my sister as a single parent whilst running his own business.
But he's a scumbag A***nal fan. He used to stand in the North Bank as a season ticket holder in the 60s and 70s and went to every match, home and away, in their double year.
He says he wanted me and brother to make up our own minds about who we would support and I chose Spurs after some guidance from my mum (who I hardly speak to nowadays) in 1980. My brother chose Watford. His bad. I can't believe he allowed me - my four year old daughter already knows the rules of the family and is in no doubt about her Lilywhite allegiances. She's coming to her first match next season for sure, although I don't think I'll take her in my usual Park Lane for the NLD!
It's so frustrating talking to my dad about football. He's a blinkered Gooner who refuses to see that the tide is turning in North London.
I wondered if anyone else has had to put up with a Gooner dad and how they handle it.
