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.."

Get the Glory Huntermug. One who lacks the imagination to support their own local football club, and so jumps on the bandwagon of supporting whatever (usually lucky) team that happens to be winning trophies at the time - especially Liverpool FC but also occasionally Man Utd FC or Chelsea FC. Would never go near a real life football match - prefers to watch on Sky TV, whom as we all know, invented the sport in 1993.
'Now let me see. I come from Cornwall, I'm good at shitting in my hand and throwing it at people, and I'm looking for a football team that have the entry rules for competitions changed simply to allow us to enter. I know, I'll support Liverpool FC. Eh, glory-hunter? What's that, never heared of it'
