Ok ill start supported juve for about 20 years from perth in Scotland (not the Austrialian one)!
I've supported Juve since 1994, because Roberto Baggio was my favourite player in the world.

Coming from Perth are you a fan of St. Johnstone?Thats my Dad's team, although I'm guessing from your name that you follow a team on the otherside of the Tay!

And I've followed Juve since they hammered Rangers circa 1995.
That was my first football match I ever went to, what a day, Juve were brilliant.!!!

"Lugan" is likely bastardized speak in America for someone with Lithuanian heritage. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago, where all my relatives came from the Marquette Park (aka Lithuanian Plaza) area -- it's the biggest population of Lithuanians in the world outside of Vilnius.

It's also where the Blues Brothers run over the Nazi march demonstrators in their 1980 movie... as the Nazis did, in fact, lobby to march through Marquette Park in the 60's & 70's:

And where I grew up, "Lugan" was used as a term much like "nigga" might be used in the black community: cool to use among your own kind, but it is also a reason to kick the shit out of another person if they used it and they weren't of Lithuanian descent.

My guess is that it's a Lithuanian immigrant thing. At least in Chicago.

Thanks for explaining, never heard anything about Lugans, i think your right that its immigrant thing, because no one back here uses Lugan to describe immigrants. My heritage is from Zemaityja(Samogatia in English) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samogitia. We were the last pagans in Europe :D
