However, John is also a passionate fan of
Liverpool FC, and so found his allegiances tested when the teams drew each other in the
FA Cup. His
vlog of the trip to London for the fixture is a must-see, as are
highlights of the game itself (which include a fantastic free kick from Steven Gerrard).
John isn't the only football fan choosing to capture his love of the game to share on YouTube, as the past few seasons have seen fan channels and content springing up and finding success.
The Redmen TV has tracked the highs and lows of following Liverpool since 2010,
Arsenal Fan TV has done likewise for the
North London club (striking gold earlier this season when
fellow fans clashed after a loss) and the Manchester United-backing
Full Time Devils, whose post-match interviews have turned
vocal fan Andy Tate into a
YouTube and
Vine star. This season has also seen
The True Geordie get into his stride, documenting his reactions to Newcastle United's volatile Premiership run, picking up over 60,000 subscribers in the process -- six times the following of the club's
official channel.
Life as a fan is also given a more traditional documentary treatment from football specialists
Copa 90, who travelled to Seattle to capture the commitment of
the Sounders' ultras, attended the most ferocious fixtures across Europe with the
Derby Days series and sent
Football Virgin Maya Jama on a personal quest to both learn about the game and find her team.
