Iโ€™ve lived here for 14 years and live in Kristiansand with my wife and son. Iโ€™m 50. Before that I lived in Scotland for 18 years(13 in St Andrews and 5 in Edinburgh). Originally Iโ€™m from Los Angeles, although I did spend a fair amount of my childhood in the southeast of England. I love politics and history and football amongst other things. I support Crystal Palace(on a huge high about the FA Cup win- Yay!) but also have a soft spot for local team IK Start, as well as other teams from Scotland, England and the USA like Hibs, Alloa Athletic, Torquay United, Walton and Hersham FC and the LA Galaxy. My second favourite sport is ice hockey and I like the LA Kings. Iโ€™ve got a blog too which you're all welcome to read with more than 50 articles. Speak soon!๐Ÿ˜€

Hi Brett, welcome to Steemit!

It's nice to see you write a lot about football... I'd love to know why you like all of those clubs - it's about as random as you can possibly get!!

Where in England were you?

Thanks Gorilla! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘โ˜•โšฝ ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿฅฐ I'm originally from LA, but I spent a lot of time in the London area(and suburbs like Shepperton) as a kid and moved to Scotland when I was 18. I supported Crystal Palace through my dad. But Walton and Hersham are just down the road from Shepperton so I went to one of their matches(their in the non-leagues). Torquay is a place we used to visit every year. During my time in Scotland, I went to see a lot of both Dundee and Dundee United when I was in St. Andrews. But some of my friends came from Alloa so I rooted for them and Hibs, from my later time in Edinburgh. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘โ˜•โšฝ ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿฅฐ

What part of London were you in? I used to live in Wimbledon (and rented in Woolwich and next to Tower Bridge before that).

Which did you prefer - English or Scottish football?

There were probably some similarities between watching Shepperton and Hibs ๐Ÿ˜
