Ethan, glad you avoided getting sucked in by the likes of Chelski or Manure.

I don't personally know any real Liverpool supporters where I come from.

We've got a few usa based members in this forum .

Only been a fan for a few years, but I've never cared about anything in my life like Liverpool.  I've always loved sports, I watched them all.  Until I started supporting Liverpool.

Just out of interest can you be more exact on what it was that started you supporting Liverpool ?

Well I've played soccer my whole life.  I've always loved it and really cared about playing it, but I never watched it.  A guy moved here and we became really good friends, and he was a manc.  I started watching with him and the more and more I watched, the more I learned.

I payed particular attention to Stevie G.  I don't know what it was, I just loved his style.  I played center mid and had the same style (obviously I couldn't play anything like him, but I tried)  So since I was always wanting to watch SG, I was always watching Liverpool, rooting for Liverpool and getting when they drew against bad teams or lost.  I started paying a lot more attention to everybody else instead of just SG.  One thing led to the next- soccer became football- football became Liverpool- Liverpool became my life.

I don't personally know any real Liverpool supporters where I come from.  There is a lot of people who pretend to like football and are all man u fans, but when I tell them to tell me their line-up, the only player they name is Ronaldo

So that's basically how I became  Liverpool player.

Welcome, mate, and I can relate to your story, being from Canada.  As Woof says, we've got a few Yanks on the board who are all good lads.  If you can stomach a little (understandable) anti-Yank sentiment from time to time (nothing to take personally...another bi-product of our septic owners) you'll do fine.

Bloody hell, I have a similar story as well bro! I'm not english, but I started to support Liverpool back in 2001, I was actually in love with Michael Owen ever since his world cup goal in 98 (yes Ironic!), so I started watching him till I officially became a Liverpool supporter 3 years later. My friends were all Mancs, and they started bragging about the 99 treble and that sorts, even tried to convince me to support them (Thank f*ck I have the brains), but Michael Owen lured me to Liverpool and loved the club ever since (although it turned out Owen was a judas).
