How long have you been a fan of your club and are there still players in the squad that have been there since then?
I’ll start with myself. I started supporting Bayern in 2011/12 and the only players left are Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer (both contract until 2024). Actually a weird thought, that when they decide to end their careers, I will be supporting a completely different team than back then, just the club name and stadium will be the same.
Luke Shaw. He has been playing for United for almost a decade now. Doesn’t that make you feel old?
Does Edu count? Probably not but anyway
Yes, Dani Carvajal and Nacho Fernandez.
Now that I think about it, no. I mean, youve got Bart Nieuwkoop who comes closest to it, he made his debut a year after i started supporting Feyenoord, but he left in 2021 and came back this summer, so he doesnt really count
Well, there was Issiaga Sylla but he left last year.
It’s rare for fans of smaller clubs (like me) to see players stay for 5-10 years. If they are good enough, they leave. Older players are more expansive to pay so, if they suck, they leave.
Not only have they long left the club, but some of them have also been retired for over a decade.
My favorite player retired now I don’t have one
