What is your Football Family Tree?

What football teams exist within your family? Interested to see if we have any unexpected clubs and if we have any Blackpool through and through!

FATHER'S SIDE:
GRANDAD: Rangers
DAD: Blackpool
UNCLE (Auntie's husband): Celtic
COUSIN: Manchester United

MOTHER'S SIDE:
GRANDAD: Bolton
UNCLE (Mum's brother): Bolton
UNCLE (Auntie's husband): Everton
COUSINS (3): Everton

Never realised what a concoction that is until I've written it out! I left out all the family members that don't support a team/simply don't care about football.

Grandad is an honorary Seasider as he moved here in his youth and took my Dad to Blackpool games starting the tradition. My Auntie on my Mum's side met and married a Scouser when she went to Uni and moved to Liverpool, better than them turning out as Bolton fans I suppose!

My Uncle on my Mum's side is technically a Bolton fan but he was exposed to the light when my Dad would take him to Blackpool games when he was younger. I imagine he has to say he's a Bolton fan but we all know where his heart lies really 😉
 
Dad: Blackpool
Grandma: Ambivalent passing interest in Blackpool (i.e. would check the Gazette)
Grandad: Never recall him expressing any interest. Horse racing man.

Mum: Said she liked shrewsbury once as they had a shrew on the badge which she liked.
Grandad: Followed Crystal Palace as spent youth in Croydon/South London.
Grandma: More interested in Women's Weekly, the Eubank and humming.
 
Anyone in my mam's side is Leeds if they follow football. Dad didn't have any interest, nor his family.

The in-laws are all Southerners (Essex and Suffolk) and support either Manchester United or Manchester City, naturally.
 
Dad - Hearts then Blackpool
Aunt - Hibs
Uncle - Celtic

Maternal Grandmother - City & United
Grandfather - Blackpool
Mother - Blackpool (not that bothered)
Uncle - Blackpool
Aunt - Blackpool (not that bothered)
 
Grandad - Workington Reds
Dad - Newcastle Utd was his fantasy team ( harped on about Malcolm ‘Supermac’ Macdonald non-stop ) , but watched Workington Reds as money was tight.
Uncle - Workington Reds
Brother in law - Carlisle Utd

Dad, uncle and grandad all blackpool fans on one side of the family. The other side of the family i think we're mostly leeds. Haven't seen then in a couple decades... which is a shame cos one of then is non other than James Milner!
 
Paternal Grandad Man City
Dad Man City with an interest in Blackpool after moving here. He went to the 53 Cup Final on spec, got a ticket just to see Matthews.

No one on mother's side interested in sport, never mind football.
