The Glory Hunter

2 points behind the leaders in League One is a very satisfying place to be. A respectable away draw against Oldham yesterday was enough to give me a feeling of general contentment and security.

What we all know of course is the only thing certain in the world of football is the uncertain. For every up there is at least one down, and the price you pay for the euphoria you feel when your team is doing well is the utter despair when things go horribly wrong.

One Tottenham fan has decided to go to great lengths to always be supporting the winning team (or at least avoid supporting the losing one). He calls himself The Gloryhunter, and has put his support for Spurs on the back burner (just as well given the season they are having!), to try a new approach which ensures he never has his week ruined because his team lost.

Starting at random with Grimsby at the beginning of the season, he moves to the area of the team he is supporting at that time, then continues to stay there and support them until they lose. He then upsticks and moves to wherever the team that beat them come from.

And so on.

Even more remarkably, the fans of the various clubs seem to regard him as something of a celebrity. Apparently, during the time he was supporting Brentford fans were heard to sing "There's only one Glory Hunter" during matches.

By my reckoning he is in Darlington at the moment, having been to Brentford and Luton since leaving Grimsby. It will be interesting to see if he stays in League 2 all season or crosses over at some point.

If he ends up at Leicester I will probably advise him to get some more permanent accommodation as judging by current form he will probably be there for while.
