Jeeks, to answer your question, I'm a 3rd generation Juventino.
My grandmother is a supporter, as well as my mother, and as everyone is well aware, Italian boys usually gravitate towards their moms/grandmothers.
I've been a supporter, you could say, since 1977. At the time, the only way to catch any sort of matches was either through short wave radio, the local Italian progamming, or if your father was part of a social club, they had limited access to the matches on TV via closed circuit. With the advent of those large satellite dishes in the early 80's, we were able to see more of these matches at the social clubs through surfing the satellite for any back-door feeds.
For a while, I had strayed from following them through the mid 90's, as I was still furious that Juve had sold Baggio. I have only really been following them again on a full-time basis for the lasst 6 years.
