Someone who supports a team (especially a football team) that is neither based in or near the town of their birth nor is even anywhere near where the 'supporter' resides. Although family connection is often cited as a reason for said support, essentially glory supporters' only reason for supporting a team is them having a history, and future chance, of winning trophies. Typically, a glory supporter knows little about football and has rarely, if ever, been to watch 'their' team play.
99% of Manchester United fans are glory supporters, coming, as they do, from outside of Manchester.
"My Grandad was a Liverpool fan, so I have to be". Notice how such a glory supporter will automatically follow the most prestigious team that any other family member supports.

A person who supports which ever sports team (football, basketball etc...) is doing the best. He/she will say that they have supported that team for 'ages'. This is not true.

A redundant insult that is used by fans of poorly performing football clubs to call out fans of clubs that perform better than their own in order to make excuses for their own petty bitterness.
Look at all those Arsenal, Man Utd/City fans, they're all a bunch of glory supporters and only support them because they're constantly winning. My team is facing relegation each season so that makes me a real football fan, unlike those posers.
(This particular fan's team was in the top 3 regularly 10 years ago, so at one stage that insult would have been used against them.)
