  1. I'm not convinced he filled in those answers himself, doubt he's as staunch as he makes out.

  2. After only 2 of these its clear this is being plucked from an a sad and sorry era when ethnic clubs tried to emphasize just how non-ethnic they were by highlighting it, in this case non-greek fans.
    I thought those days were over, but in recent seasons its clear this attitude is very much alive and well at south.

    1. Actually, the first two from this series that I retrieved from the archives were both Greeks.

      Unfortunately, most of the links to the original Fanatic of the Week series from 2001 do not work - so it's impossible to tell what the demographics were from a project like this

A few notes on comments.

We've had a lot of fun over the years with my freewheeling comments policy, but all good things must come to an end. Therefore I will no longer be approving comments that contain personal abuse of any sort.

Still, if your post doesn't get approved straight away, it's probably because I haven't seen it yet.

As usual, publication of a comment does not mean endorsement of its content.
