Taken to see them for my 3rd birthday back in 81 and they won 3-0 so that was it

Scottish side of the family mostly support Aberdeen, got given a shirt when I was 10 from my Aberdonian cousins and haven't looked back since!

I saw a league table on TV with the top 3 teams on it, when i was about 9, and one of them were aberdeen and I used to go on holiday to Balmedy so I decided then to support Aberdeen for those reasons.

Fuck me, that's depraved.

My Mum was Aberdonian and followed the team. Dad is American but adopted the team as his own cause of mum and there wasn't any gridiron stuff in Aberdeen at the time. 3 kids later, I appear and by that time all the family are Dons fans. Stands to reason what sport and team I'll grow up to be a fan of! 

Even when we moved away from Aberdeen, we all followed the results which was sometimes hard to do given the infancy of internet technology in some places!

 

Sometimes we are just born to be what we are and I'm glad I was born with this "thing" called being an Aberdeen fan.

You were born with a 'thing'?  ???

[Guest Caroline B]

Yeah, just above my left nipple...but I don't want to talk about it!

Post a picture then?  ;)

[Superstar Tradesman]

Apparently a picture says a thousand words.

You should have been blunt about it.

I agree with Caroline....it was just meant to be, especially after watching them outclass Hearts 4-1 at Tynecastle in April 91` my first ever game.  Was part of my 11th birthday present.  

 

Also only the greatest team in the world can recreate history by reuniting with an old foe the same night I became an author twenty five years after we last played them and witnessed our most memorable game.  Will never ever forget that day for as long as I live.

I watched that game the other day. Some goal from Mckimmie... his one for Aberdeen was good too  . Brian Grant and Jim Bett were fucking brilliant that day.

[Keithdandy]

Are there any other teams worth supporting?

[mizer]

It just made sense, and I like the colour red.

[Edinburghdon]

I like the colour red.

 

Gayest reason ever!!

 

Just always really supported aberdeen, most of my family do

[jmo]

I know a Celtic fan who picked Celtic purely because he liked the green and white stripes when he was really young.

 

His whole family are big Rangers supporters, who aren't entirely happy with his choice.

[Aberdeen_Ladette]

Why do you support Aberdeen?   

 

After a game like v ICT at the start of season I often ask myself why?!!

 

Seriously though, I have my Uncle from Ellon to thank, as he took me to Pittodrie when I was 7.

 

I say thank as my parents, and theirs, were/are huns.

 

My favourite player was Joey Harper. My Granda hated him!!

Never misses an opportunity

It's becoming tedious.

[Tyrant]

It begins with B and ends in ook.
