A glory hunter is a sports fan who mainly supports their preferred club just because of their success. They will usually have little to no knowledge of their club, such as chants, inside jokes, culture and in-depth history. When you question them about some of the things that i have just listed, they will nervously blurt out some memorised facts that they learned from a Wikipedia page about their club. Oh, and they will never buy merchandise.
"So, when did you start supporting Manchester City?"
"AfTeR tHeY wOn ThE lEaGuE. I uSeD tO sUpPoRt BaRcElOna....AnD cHeLsEa... AnD jUvEnTuS :) "
"Wow... you're the biggest glory hunter i've ever met.."

A new supporter of a Premier League team thats doing well. Also known as 'jumping on the bandwagon'. Usually the team will have lots of money and big name players, such as Manchester City.
So youre a Glory Hunter

1. Someone who supports the most successful clubs at the time
2. Has little knowledge of the club's true history, and has never been to a game
3. Overuses phrases and mottoes (ie: YNWA)
4. Right now, they are Manchester united, Barcelona, and AC Milan fans who mainly live in the US.
5. Someone who will switch from one team to the next once they start losing
6. Someone who gets deeply involved in petty internet fights (ronaldo vs. messi, soccer vs football, etc.)
7. Someone who tries to justify when their team did not do well, even though they probably haven't even heard of them at the time (ie: Franco helped Real Madrid)
8. Gloaters
9. Most of them support every single team who's top in the table of their respective leagues at once

Barcelona fans who rant about how much messi is better than ronaldo (BOTH AMAZING PLAYERS), not need to get all fired up. Most americans support Barcelona, as well as AC milan and manchester united....glory hunters just want to gloat

These people have NO interest in their national team UNTIL the team becomes successful. All of a sudden millions of insecure souls CLING to every victory. It's a sorry sight, but quite common in England! Glory Hunters only follow a team while the successes roll in .... once the team does badly they look to another sport or team!
The England football team is very average. The glory hunters can't get their fix from soccer so they look elsewhere. Cricket was unpopular in England before August 2005. All of a sudden the England team does well in The Ashes. WHAM! Millions of people become temporary fans, until the success fades away. These people are glory hunters! In 2003 England won the Rugby World Cup, and many people jumped on the bandwagon. By 2005 most of these people had lost interest in Rugby, as the national team wasn't performing as well.
