Adam Johnson became a soccer fan by accident.
During a visit with family in London, Johnson’s brother-in-law handed him a Tottenham jacket. And when he put his hand in one of the pockets, he found two tickets to a Spurs’ game.
At the time Johnson may have preferred a root canal to a soccer game, but he went along anyway. The experience proved life-changing.
“It was just really exciting,” he said. “The fans blew me away. The singing and the atmosphere, it was just so incredible that I was on board right away.”
