Fair dues to you Gerrit, you're certainly not a glory hunter.

Mine don't stretch very far:

England: Sheff Wed
Scotland: Raith Rovers (with an interest in Celtic)
Norn Iron: Ards
Spain: Real Betis (only because a fan of theirs swapped his green and white striped jersey for my Irish jersey many years ago at the 0-0 in Seville).

England: Man Utd (yep!), Crewe Alexandra.
France: Racing Strasbourg, FC Mulhouse (currently in CFA 2, equivalent of conference in France)
Germany: SC Freiburg
Switzerland: FC Bale

That's about it really.

Basel, not Bale! One of my best friends is from there, and I used to always get that pointed out to me until I stopped! :)

Anyhoo, Basel make my list for the above reason. Also there...

Italy - Foggia. Remember seeing them draw with AC Milan in the year when AC dropped I think four points all season. Course, I cuold haev gone for AC, but sure that'd have been no fun! :)
Spain - Real Betis. 'Cos when I played in College, my team was called Theyall Betis!
England - Colchester United. Because I felt sorry for them after getting relegated to the Conference in 1989/90 with Mark Kinsella in the team. Also AFC Wimbledon.

Support - Manchester United

Kinda keep an eye/ used to go a few games a season - Altrincham FC and Bury

Don't hate - Bradford City (went the odd game with a mate), AFC Wimbledon or the other clubs where the fans have saved their clubs.

Hate - everyone else basically.

No great feelings one way or the other for clubs in any other leagues tbh

Their 3rd string got to the Semi finals of the Irish life club despite being a 3rd division team and were only defeated on pens by a Premier div team (albeit with the aid of suspected 'bangers')
