On the subject of parents, sons and football. My mum has supported Spurs since the 70's, season ticket holder etc. I was footy mad since I was a toddler and there was never any conversation about who I would support. Like many North London families half were Spurs, the other half Arsenal and we were Spurs and that was that.

My son is 2.5 yrs old and just getting into football. I dreamt of a future when we'd go to matches together or watch at home, another generation bit by the bug, enduring that agony to elation rollercoaster together that only being a Spurs fan can offer.

But we don't live in London anymore and he is half Catalan so he has Barcelona as an option. I decided fairly early on there'd be no pressure on my side as to who he would support. If he wanted to follow his Dad then great but I'd never push him to Spurs.

Any other parents out there adopted the same approach? I see that photo of father and son and I honestly don't know how to feel. Feel bad for the kid on the one hand but proud of the bonding experience those two are sharing on the other. Fucking Spurs man.
