you're ethnically a quarter indian?Steve wrote:Some Indians get a bad rep for supporting United, however my grandfather was very well known round OT right up until his death in '99. He was one of the first Indian United supporters. If you look at very old pictures of United fans etc, you won't see any/hardly any black or asians. My grandfather, although brought up in Manchester from the age of 4, was fully Indian, yet followed United with my great grandfather and were very well known around the 50s.
When I went to my very first game, my uncle (it was his father in law) was going round telling everyone who my grandad was and everyone was shaking my hand. I was only 6 and all I really remember was the amount of respect people had for him.
I know, most Indians support multiple clubs at the same time and don't really understand the football culture which is what gives us a bad rep. And your grandfather! That's just awesome ! Makes you part indian !Steve wrote:Some Indians get a bad rep for supporting United, however my grandfather was very well known round OT right up until his death in '99.
