In any Football/Soccer league. And a “why” too would be interesting.
Me...
Southampton.
Why?
When I was a kid, I’d watch the English soccer early on a Saturday morning before going to play (for the Bonnet Bay Bombers). Was a highlights show hosted by Brian Moore. I followed the dragons, and saw a team playing in dragons colours. Southampton. So I decided to follow them. Then I learned they were also the Saints. No going back from there.
This was early 80’s and they were usually at the bottom of the table, in relegation danger then they’d escape like a stabbed rat in the last few rounds to stay up. Funny how not a lot has changed in 40-odd years.
