Thread: Greetings and salutations

I'd just like to make a quick intro before delving into the forum. Quick summary about me? Well I'm a thirty-something guy born and raised in the UK but have been an avid Broncos follower since 1996 due to my dad playing the sport at an amateur level over here and gaining a subsequent interest - ironically his allegiance is of a fouler, silver-and-black variety which makes for some interesting clashes twice a year!

Although I am a Brit I am not the ones you'll see portrayed in US shows (spit spot old chap oh I say old bean yada yada). I'm from northern England which is a much nicer part of the country.

As far as my Broncos CV goes I used to stay up as a kid watching the games with my dad (the games usually being on around 9pm our time) and of course he would have me watching and soon being bored by the dreariness of Jeff Hostetler's Oakland so I decided to pick my own team. Having watched the league for a season as a neutral I felt repeatedly drawn towards the likes of Elway, TD, Sharpe, McCaffrey and defensive legends like Atwater, Braxton, Romanowski etc.

Believe it or not the game that sealed it for me was the huge playoff upset against Jacksonville after going 13-3 with the #1 seed. I was only 10 at the time but I already felt a real sense of injustice - it was only by sheer luck that I got on board just before the Super Bowl wins but it didn't matter, I've been hooked ever since then and I'm stuck through thick and thin.

Enough of me rambling on anyway, hope to make this my home for this season and many more!
