“While most football fans from Ireland adopt an illustrious English side to support, their own national league serves as little more than a sideshow. Growing up in Ireland I was never given the choice, so to speak, to support an Irish club as my ‘first team’. Like most Irish football fans, I support Liverpool. Strong cultural and historical links between Liverpool and Ireland make the connection, alongside the fact Liverpool were immensely successful for over 30 years straight, quite easy.” backpagefootball
