[@RysFootyParadise]

Thank goodness CLUB Football is back this weekend! 🤩 I’ll be at Villa Park Saturday so stay tuned for that one… 🍻

Hello Ry , i was in April in Leicester with my Bochumtrikot 😅. LCFC - Southampton 5-0 🤭🤭🤭

[@RysFootyParadise]

@@Berolinum1848 that is class! I want to do the same thing 🤩

[@Berolinum1848]

@@RysFootyParadise Good Idea, as an Evertonian I can recommend the good old Goodison Park!! 💪💙💙😁

I love how you like Bochum. Greetings from there (:

I don’t just “LIKE” Bochum Ich LIEBE VfL 😉💙

You really are addicted to Herbert and "Bochum" now😄🇩🇪🍻

[@RysFootyParadise]

@@DieFussballBrosUSA any excuse to get Herbert into a video… 🤩

[@DieFussballBrosUSA]

@@RysFootyParadise what can you do - it is a banger🤷‍♂️ Hertha BSCs anthem is also a gem. Top melody, powerful lyrics, underrated really.

[@RysFootyParadise]

@@DieFussballBrosUSA I’ll look it up now 😁👍🏾 can’t be better than Bochum’s SURELY 😲

[@ici_marmotte]

@@DieFussballBrosUSA I'm anything but a Hertha BSC supporter and I live far from Berlin in the West of Germany, but I totally agree with you. Even if the melody of the chorus is 'stolen' by Rod Stewart's 'Sailing', it's still a song of its own and I get goosebumps everytime the Ostkurve puts their scarves out to sing it loud

The Legend is Back 🥳 the most beautiful britsh Bochum fan ❤

[@RysFootyParadise]

Beautiful? 😅👍🏽 I don't know - as Herbert said "Du bist keine Schönheit..."

[@philippmarkovich5408]

As an international VfL fan for two decades now (thanks to a school exchange program there in the early 2000s), I salute your dedication to your newfound Bochum affection! Glück auf, mate!

[@RysFootyParadise]

@@philippmarkovich5408 Danke! It’s great to hear from Bochum fans like yourself from outside of the Ruhrgebiet 🤩👍🏾🍻 (Fiege) 🍻

Another great video...cheers m8!!

[@RysFootyParadise]

@@slob12 cheers for watching as always mate!

[@larscederberg8564]

There is something about VFL Bochum it draws you in for a night you will never forget, also your accent is great to listen to because you are very clear and easy to understand you should be on the radio.😀

[@RysFootyParadise]

Wow, thank you! Haha I'll try and keep it understandable now we have overseas viewers/listeners 🤩

[@jamiesmith8042]

That area of Leicester has changes so much in the last 30 years or so. There used to be Frank Berry train scrap yard near the old Filbert Street ground. Trains stacked on top of each other being dismantled. You would never imagine it was the same place!

[@RysFootyParadise]

Fair play mate, the area looks smart now doesn’t it. I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t wander opposite to the site of the old ground but will cover that in another video in a few weeks 😊 (after Bochum away in Berlin)

[@jamiesmith8042]

Yeah, worth a wander mate. Looking forward to the tour video. Leicester is good in as far as the football, rugby, cricket and basketball grounds/arenas are all in the city or very close. Makes for a good away day for people. Keep up the good work. 👍​@@RysFootyParadise

[@RysFootyParadise]

@@jamiesmith8042 appreciate the kind words mate! Always had a soft spot for Leicester, not because of Bochum or because of 2016 - but because I watched my local club Hereford United play Leicester at Edgar Street in the late 90s with that fantastic team you had - Izzet, Elliot etc

[@Maxderking45289]

Nice Video

[@michaelmueller9523]

As a F95 fan I do not really love the VfL... but I really like how you got attached to that Club...

[@Berolinum1848]

Ich liebe Fortuna auch nicht 😅. Muss reichen, wenn ich euch respektiere. Glück auf !

[@RysFootyParadise]

I appreciate that! 😊🤝 Hopefully Fortuna get promotion this season - but lets hope its not another playoff between both club 😅

[@TheDevonMackem]

Loved this mate. It’s so true that quote! In school everyone was always Liverpool, Man Utd, arsenal or Chelsea fans. They would be knocking me for being a Sunderland fan and how we are shit. But looking back today. I wonder why they were even fans of the club. I stayed true to my team and continue to support forever 😉 until maybe I find another team next week..😉😂

[@RysFootyParadise]

Can’t blame kids for following the successful teams, especially where we’re from with very few local clubs - they tend to idolise players like for me it was Beckham - but when you become an adult your football fandom evolves doesn’t it… I suppose Sunderland are fairly similar to Bochum…

[@TheDevonMackem]

@ yes apart from we’ve won six top league titles haha

[@RysFootyParadise]

Mehhh when Dinosaurs were still roaming……. 🦖🦕 JOKING

Klasse 😊

[@leboeuf05]

contrary to bergkamp's quote, i DID start supporting a club, because of a player.

[@RysFootyParadise]

I think most kids do - Beckham definitely pushed me towards United 😅 I just think an adult football fan looks at things differently than their younger self - but you can still feel a sense of belonging even after supporting a club because of a player 😊🍻

[@tombecker6790]

The football club is comming to you and very the other way round😊 Liebe Grüsse aus Wuppertal

Germany friendship Manchester city and Manchester United? This is my local team

[@RysFootyParadise]

I don’t think there are any friendships over there with the Manchester clubs but I could be wrong… 🤔

[@slob12]

Watched funny football chants recently and I don't think that there is much love lost between man city and man utd😂

So sad seeing the statue of Leicester's former owner.

[@cafeplastique890]

I WISH it was the other way round and you could just pick your club. I live in Munich and man, i could watch Champions League, celebrate triumphant wins and witness skillful players demonstrating gracious artistry every week. If only I felt I belonged at Bayern. Alas, it's scrappy, inconsistent pingball in the 3rd Bundesliga and losing 0-1 at home to teams whose names even your phone thinks it probably has to auto-correct ("Sandhaufen", anyone?). But I wouldn't, and I couldn't have it any other way. 57, 58, 59... SECHZIG! forever!

[@RysFootyParadise]

Were you cheering when United stole that Champions League in 1999? 🤩

[@cafeplastique890]

@@RysFootyParadise I know some who did. Me, I'm not that dogmatic though. Seeing my club consistently mess up kinda makes me grudgingly respect how flawlessly Bayern operate. And as a fan of football, I am not going to deprive myself of enjoying the weird genius of Thomas Müller or the graceful technique of Musiala just out of tribalism. It may not a particularly popular opinion among 1860 diehards but it's how I tick.

[@RysFootyParadise]

@@cafeplastique890I mean - I didn’t like Bayern, but that silver Champions League shirt they wore in 99 was a banger 🤩

Bayern are a footballing juggernaut that have to be stopped!!!..They have some great players mind who are wonderful to watch😊
