Favourite football team is Essendon Football Club, of the Australian Football League. From the age of four I would sit on my Dad's knee, while he sat on an old box in the back yard, smoking his cigarette and drinking a bottle of beer, and listening to the "Bombers" football broadcast. ( They were called the Bombers because during World War II their football ground was adjacent to the airfield, which was often home to US military planes. ) 75 Years ago and I still remember knocking the dead ash off his cigarette with a matchstick. I've followed the "Bombers" ever since.
