Born and bred in SE London, no connection whatsoever with Middlesbrough or the club, but have been a faithful and fervent Boro fan for almost 28 years now. I don't know any other Boro fans in person and I've only ever visited the town to watch Boro games - sadly only a handful of times due to the time and money involved, but I get to plenty of away games.
Am living in the US now and my last live game was at Fulham on the first day of the 21/22 season, but I'm Boro daft (as they say). I wear Boro shirts everywhere I go, I almost never miss a game via video streams and I care very, very deeply for "my" club.
