Glory Hunter

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?"
