It was my birthday last week and Alfie and Willow (well their Mum and Dad really) bought me a Bolton Wanderers training top and a matching one for Alfie.
This is me and Alfie (my grandson) doing a fashion shoot in our respective Wanderers tops. Photos from our garden (back yard to American viewers)
I won't influence Alfie in a choice of football clubs (he may not even be interested in football). A club chooses you rather than you chose them ! Besides it's difficult being a Wanderers supporter. I've been watching the Wanderers since 1967 and in all that time they have never won a major trophy. They have had promotions and relegations and several years in the premier league and even had a couple of glory years playing in Europe against the likes of Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Olympique de Marseille, Sporting Lisbon, Red Star Belgrade, but no major trophies.
I'd be happy for him to support Notts County, Forest or Mansfield, I might even take him !
Anyway, we are the one and only Wanderers, although not strictly true !!! Other Wanderers are available !
@casablanca thanks that's so kind of you . One's football club choice stays with you forever, you cannot change it , ever !!! In my original narrative I put "choses" but then decided it's "chooses" , I even googled which is right and I was still confused !!!
Littlest is a Spurs fan. Because the first match he watched aged 5 was an England match where Harry Kane scored 3 goals so he wanted to be like Harry Kane so choose spurs. His Dad has not convinced him to join him in supporting Notts County who he has supported since his teens when he went every week. I've been once to Meadow Lane.
Hope he is a Bolton Wanderer fan but it won’t matter as I’m sure you will both bond beautifully on whoever team Alfie decides on. You can support two teams! Such a sweetie in his football shirt.
@newbank thanks newbank , that's a lovely story about your son and spurs . It's good how football touches us all . My mate said "once in never out " to this photo on Facebook as both of us are lifelong wanderers, from little lads into our 60's ... 😁
Nb As a 'wanderer' he might roam around. around, around . . . before he settles on a club!
@fbailey awwww thank you felicity , we think so 😀
Thanks everyone for the fabulous comments on this photo of Alfie and I . Each and every one is really appreciated
