If you'd like to understand this strange obsession, or maybe share the experiences of a fellow-sufferer, read this real-life adventure of an extreme fan who has followed his team through thick and thin and was selected by his club's players, manager, directors and other supporters as their all-time Superfan. It doesn't matter which team you follow, the dedication and irrational behaviour will always be the same.
