29. Moved out here from England in 1980 and went to my first game of footy with some of the lads from my high school. First game was St Kilda vs Geelong at VFL park. We lost quite badly as I remember but that underdog spirit sat well with me and I have been a fan ever since.

As proof of the underdog love I was a West Ham supporter growing up in England.

30. it really upsets my partner. Its also fun arguing over who the future kids will barack for..

Darrel Baldock · Mon 24 May 2010 12:13pm

Saw my first game two days after arriving in 1966 from England. Understood nothing of what seemed at the time like legalised thuggery. (We were playing Hawthorn) Then saw Darrel Baldock come on the field in the third quarter and he was involved in play nearby. The Doc exhibited his undeniable wizardry right in front of me. A moment I will never forget. I immediately understood footy and have been a Saints fan ever since. Like all my family, including my partner and my son, who may even be more tragic than I.

33. Linton Street Oval.

My family dragged me along there in a pram.

Got my football education and one eye situation developed either in the members or in the outer, in between the scoreboard and time clock.

I will remember that place fondly until the day I die.

37. Always followed the underdog. Saints were last on the ladder when it came time for me to pick a team (late 1977)

The opposite sex always looks more attractive wearing Saints colours.

No arguing just tell your partner how its going to be a Saints family end of story.

Oh and I just love the saints but was born into it, the whole family are now sainters and getting bigger as the kids/grandkids come along.

46: The feeling when Roo soccered the ball through in the Prelim last year..or when Troy S kicked that long goal v Brisbane, or when Gardy took that mark v Geelong...or when Plugger kicked the goal v Carlton in 89
