Cheesehead Origins: Brian Carlson’s UK Fandom Long Predates NFL’s London Series

This UK-based Packer fan is no newbie to the Packers.

Welcome to Cheesehead Origins, an offseason series geared toward showcasing Packer fans with interesting fandom origin stories! CheeseheadTV is devoted to Packer fans worldwide, and we want to hear (and share) your stories.

The very first person I featured in my Cheesehead Origins series this year was Mark Oldacres, a CheeseheadTV contributor based in the UK. Mark is on the younger side, and his fandom began around the time the Packers won Super Bowl XLV.

This week’s feature is also from the UK, but his origin story stretches farther back, long pre-dating the NFL’s series in London to a time when there were not a whole lot of other NFL fans around in England.
