hello and bonjour,
i made this thread in order to know who come from where?
to see where are spurs fans on earth...
and maybe to regroup fans by country...
i would like all french people to contact me or add me as friend...it will be easier to talk with them in french about rumors, trades, salary cap etc...and why not to watch spurs games together in france or to go to san antonio...?
so you can begin ;-)
and GO SPURS GO !!!!! :flag:
can we do a poll too?
with all countries...to know the number of fans by country?the% too
me, i was borne in brest, France raised in ivory coast and mauritanie (africa) until 7 years old then we came To live in France close to paris in picardie until 20 and in val de marne(closer to paris) since 2006

You wouldnt happen to be born in Palau bidong, malaysia?

nope..I was born in Johor Bahru, the most south city of mainland Malaysia. It's actually closer to Singapore (around 3km) than Kuala Lumpur (the capital city of Malaysia).
