Just to qualify first - this isn't a go at KDH. He's definitely one of a very few players in recent years who has had an affinity for the club.
However, you don't support your home town or parents team and then have a back-up more successful team cos you're team aren't prolific enough. I grew up with LCFC mostly in the 2nd division (80s), but I never once felt the need to say I was a Liverpool or Everton fan (yes kiddies, Everton were once a top team!)
