My maternal grandad was in the 67k crowd v Arsenal,my Dad supported town from the late 40s,he talked a lot about the 50s side with Glazzard and Metcalfe and the Shankly diabolical descion. Started taking me in 1966 first game a 2-0 win over Portsmouth. Took my son to his first game around 1994 and he was hooked with two trips to Wembley under Warnock. My dad stopped going to games in the 70-71 season back in the first division don't know why.

Great thread and some good stories.
Does step-family count? My great grandad, born in 1900 went round houses with a bucket in 1919 to collect cash to keep the club in Huddersfield. Sold his bike to buy 3 shares in the club too. He missed 4 home games between 1919 and 1984 so seen Town in all 4 divisions, win the league and FA Cup.
I got the tales, the shirts and the books to read when I was young, so didn't stand a chance of not becoming a Town fan too.

Dennis Law, lived accross the road from me, in my friend's house. Was he squatting? I think most of the time he was stood up straight.
