Glory Hunter

Someone who chooses to support a team that is from nowhere near where they live or were born.

Often Liverpool or Manchester United fans that live as far away as a London and the South Coast . This will also include most Chelsea fans as they didn’t have any before Bates invested some cash
London Liverpool supporters, typical Glory Hunter

glory-hunter

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'

glory hunters

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.
