Collingwood Football Club |
In the annals of Australian Rules football, no other team is either so loved or so hated as the Mighty Magpies. The tradition of this club is long and rich. It's army of supporters can be the most loyal and the most long-suffering - all at the same time. Collingwood was the first AFL club to launched an OFFICIAL Website. Check it out. Lots of information and pictures about this Australian sporting icon and it's updated regularly. |

Melbourne Storm RL Football Club |
Started in 1998 as an expansion team, Melbourne Storm has literally taken Melbourne by storm. If creating history by being the first expansion team to ever make the play-offs in their debut season was not enough, in 1999 they won the Premiership in only their second season! Fasten your seat belts, gang - this is the Storm Age! Check out their website - it's one of the best in the NRL! |

Sydney City RL Football Club |
My love of this club was nurtured when I lived in Sydney for three years. (Back then they were called "Eastern Suburbs"). Otherwise known as the "Roosters or "Tricolours", their home is in world-famous Bondi, just up the road from the Beach. Even though my home city now has its own team (Melbourne Storm), I still have a very soft spot for the Roosters. They've kind of been relegated to my second favourite NRL team. Nonetheless, they're still a great club! |

Melbourne Tigers Basketball Club |
This is the ONLY real basketball CLUB in the NBL in Australia. It is truly a "club" and not a privately owned franchise. It is the home of that living legend of Aussie basketball, Andrew Gaze, the coach being his father, Lindsay. To watch them play at Melbourne Park (the venue of the Australian Open tennis) as they respond to the roar of their adoring Melbourne home crowd is truly an experience never to be forgotten. |

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club |
I confess to being a life-long supporter (and VERY minor shareholder) of this icon of English soccer. This northern London club is one of the "glamour" teams of the Premier League. And yes, I have been at White Hart Lane on a mid-winter's day in a sell-out crowd and joyously watched them "KICK ARSE!!" (errrr.... I mean "defeat Arsenal in a most sportmanlike manner.") Could heaven provide anything better than that? (I think NOT!) Come on you Spurs!! |

Ajax Amsterdam Football Club |
Ajax is arguably one of the most successful soccer clubs in Europe. This is NOT the reason I support them - but it helps! Their play is spectacular to watch and you can't complain about value for money as their season is regularly extended by being in (and usually defending) one international club championship or another - that is, after having usually won the Dutch Championship first. |

San Francisco 49'ers |
I suppose that I follow this team because it was while watching a 49'ers game, that an understanding of the game of gridiron football finally dawned on me. It still strikes me as one of the less attractive codes of football (too much stop and start, also relying too much on just brute force), but if I'm gonna watch gridiron, then let it be the 49'ers! |

New York Rangers |
I LOVE ice hockey! It seems to be the only game where you can legally mug someone and win a trophy for the effort. Hey, a game like that MUST have something going for it! (I wonder what all that says about me?) Anyway, the Rangers are my favourite team and one day, I want to watch them play in New York. |
