Glory Boy

A football supporter who has jumped on the bandwagon of a currently successful club in order to bask in their reflected glory.

Particularly true of Manchester United supporters, due to the terrace chant,"Glory, glory, Man. United!" and the high proportion of its supporters with no real geographical, historical or familial allegiance to the club.
Manchester United and Liverpool supporters from London, the Home Counties and abroad are just glory boys
