Yep, the Liverpool supporters were everywhere when I was a kid. I remember having a scrap at the boys club because one took the **** of my Bryan Robson shinpads. He kept his mouth shut from then on.
Glory, glory Leeds United for me please.

Well, in the 70's (including our season in the second division) we had the highest attendace in the league (barring 70-71 and 71-72 where we were second), in the 80's we again had the highest attendances (barring 87-88 and 88-89 where we again were 2nd) and in the 90's the only year we didn't have the highest attendance (again coming 2nd) was the 92-93 title winning season due to a major rebuilding work at the time at Old Trafford.
So stop talking out your arse and show a bit of respect to the most popular team in the land by a country mile.
Beat me to it but what he said word for word.
I'm a bit like G|mp in that I am a long standing Utd fan for a number of years. Seen the good and supported through the bad.
Now I know to some fans, long standing might mean a seaon ticket at Chelsea or Arsenal for the past five years but I am talking abuot following the club when we were ****. Under Big Fat Ron when we had two maybe three genuine stars (Robbo & Big Norm) & Ohh Ahh Paul McGrath and the team sprinkled with mediocrity and Journeymen footballers who turned into local cult heroes (Ralph Milne, Alan Brazil, John Gidman etc).I Have witnessed the highs when The Mighty Maradona and his Barcelona side were humbled by Utd and also when Liverpool beat us (Robbed !!!!!)in the Milk Cup Final.
What always gets me with these so called 'Proper' and loyal fans who are not 'Glory Hunters' is that week in week out your ground are rarely full. Only against Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are the ground full. Yet week in week out the likes of Stoke, Sunderland, Wigan, 'Boro, Bolton, Blackburn etc etc have the cheek to give it 'We support our local team*'
* Only applies if we are playing in a league game against the top 4 or a quater final of a cup.
Loyalty is a good especially if it is blind and you ignore your own misgivings. As Roberto has pointed out we have been there in numbers when we were crap. It's not about turning up to 4 games a season and claiming not to be a glory hunter. It's about turning up and showing your support even when your dumped out of the cup by York on a cold November night or going to the arse end of Hereford for a 3rd round cup game on a Sunday afternoon in January and supporting the lads and manager whatever the score.
When these so called non gloryhunters have earned their stripes home and away and filled their ground come hell or high water then fine your in a position to cast as many stones as you want but as the old saying goes, people in glass houses...................

You're forgetting the mighty Jesper Olsen! I thought he was class when I was a kid.

The Anderson song is better though
You sir, are right! And for those of you who don't know this ditty, it's to the tune of Aggadoo :
Anderson-son-son
He's better than Kleberson
Anderson-son-son
He's our midfield magician
On the left, on the right
to the samba beat tonight,
he is class with a brass,
and he ****s on Fabregas!

Arsenal all the way! First team I ever saw play when I was a nipper, hence why I support them. I also support my old local team, Alder****

Gilly, change the name back on the thread. You haven't got any gloryhunters following your team...you haven't had any glory for quite some time!

Ah, but that's how the original song went

Ah, but that's how the original song went
Not many of us were old enough to remember that!

Who are Leeds united 
Ah, but that's how the original song went
There is only one United Mathew, you know that as well as I do.
Man of Honour
Absolutely, I didn't imagine you'd be able to face nor understand that!
Man of Honour
There's loads of Uniteds. Leeds, obviously, Newcastle, Oxford, Hereford, S****horpe...
If it's called a place it isn't in, it doesn't count, if it's a United but isn't the only club in the place it is from, it doesn't count.

There is only one proper Utd (and their abode is at Old Trafford)
All the rest are pale immitations
Man of Honour
As stated, they don't count.
FC United have a strong case.
