When did I first start supporting Juve? About 15/16 years ago.

My late father used to take me to watch local matches since I was in my pram! This gave me a love of football. During the 1990 world cup, I formed an admiration of two players - Paolo Maldini and Roberto Baggio.

A couple of years later, I was flicking through the TV channels one Saturday morning and found "Football Italia" on channel 4. They just happened to be playing highlights of a Juve match and Baggio was playing for them. I was hooked! I quickly developed a love of Juventus, and I've supported them ever since.

I starting following Juventus in the 1988/89 season. Following the lead of my grandfather who moved to Turin from a small village north of Naples, & my father who was born in Turin & moved to the UK in the 70's. The following summer I was given my 1st shirt - plain black away kit, no club badge only the coppa winners badge, UPIM sponsor & a number 10 writ large on the back. The following season I started following them more closely, loving the obvious class that set them apart from the rest of the teams in the league. Schillaci, followed by Conte, Baggio, Ravanelli, Ferrara, Fortunato (God rest his soul), Torricelli, Kohler, Pessotto, Zambro, Tacchinardi & over them all Del Piero captured my imagination. More than these men however, it is the sense of the club, of being "da Juve" that people constantly argue over wether or not a player is "Juve-class", the sense of being, as Barca would say, more than a club. It is the undefeatable spirit of the bianconeri that I have, & always will follow.
