Hornby
1) a ‘johnny-come-lately’ football fan. 2) the ‘prawn sandwich brigade’. 3) a ‘celebrity’ who claims to have supported ‘x’ since they were knee-high but in reality wouldn’t know a goalpost from a corner flag. 4) a person who treats a premiership game as an alternative to a trip to the theatre/art gallery etc. 5) a camera-swinging tourist.
typically white, liberal, middle-cl-ss, professional, higher than average income, university educated, lives in the home counties or the more desirable areas of most cities, and had only the most marginal of interest in/no interest at all in football until 1) after the taylor report, 2) the advent of all-seater stadia/the premiership/sky, 3) the repositioning of football as ‘entertainment’. drinks in wine bars rather than pubs.
taken from nick hornby, whose first novel ‘fever pitch’ introduced the game for the first time to a whole cl-ss of people who had never even thought about going to football before reading his book, and consequently set in motion the complete snd utter commercialisation of the working-man’s game, whilst at the same time pricing the working-cl-ss out of the game altogether.
“excuse me, my wife and i cannot see the field if you insist on standing throughout the game? would you please sit down?”
“do want a slap you c-nt? f-cking hornby’s..”
post 1989 supporters of -rs-nal football club. derived from the novelist ‘nick hornby’, author of fever pitch. a book about how he was such a huge -rs-nal fan, he couldn’t be -rs-d to travel 200 miles to watch them win their first t-tle for 18 years.
the hornbies have developed a case of wengervision again.
