[QUOTE="ChrisC, post: 72194, member: 561"] Hi there PWT! Thanks for the welcome. You're right - it wasn't the win/loss record back then that was so attractive :wink: I started to enjoy the game once we got a bit more than the very brief snippets we had previously seen on TV over here. But why the Packers? Well, the first game I saw was GB v the Steelers, and I had to pick one team to support! I soon learned that the Packers had a tradition and I appreciate that. (Though I could have done worse than picked the Steelers in that regard!) My brother and I started to try and follow the games live on the Armed Forces Radio Network - some weeks it was a real treat - a Packer game! We began looking out for Lynn ****ey, Coffman, Lofton, Jefferson ... I didn't know anything about Defense then (and not a lot about the running game either, as you can see!) Anyhow, we had some fun - and eventually a good team to support. My brother had the great good luck to be in the States for the Ryder Cup golf the same Monday Night when the Pack beat the Redskins 48-47!! Always envied him that :roll: The most recent Superbowl win was something really special, even for a Brit and relatively new Packer fan - but you folks must have been ecstatic!! Thanks again for the warm welcome - I'll be back for info and the "inside track" on all things Packer!! Chris [/QUOTE]
