Glückauf everyone! My Schalke story.

I was brought up in Gelsenkirchen and my mother milk was blue and white. ‘Nuff said. 🤣

Father and brother were Schalke fans, though no regular stadion goers. I remember as a small child having family walks around Parkstadion. First match 1977 against Cologne. Friends and schoolmates were mainly Schalke supporters, except one black and yellow sheep. Magic moments in the 80s in both divisions, 6:6 the most notable one of course. First season ticket and membership in 1991. Fast forward, moved to the UK in 2008, joined Schalke UK afterwards. Now back on the Continent in Vienna since a year.
