this is nonsense, youre confusing nan kids with people with little money. surprised a silver spooner like you went to school with people like this

It’s the fantasy element of fantasy football that is Nan.

Getting into and excited about it, spending hours poring over stats you’ve no control over. WhatsApp groups about it. It’s all Nan to me.

Top trumps for nan kids.

football isn't nan but being a nerd who loves Arsenal and fantasy football and eating 6 packets of crisps a day is textbook nan

Surely calling poor people nankids is nan itself?

have to agree here. Football itself isn’t nan, but I have an ex school friend who is a proper “ketchup with Sunday roast” Nan kid who has numerous spreadsheets dedicated to his fantasy league. He simulates different scenarios each weekend etc. sad act

Nan kids don't recognise class or really even hierarchy, they just existed in a bubble. But on the subject of income, I don't remember any nan kids who came from money, it was like they had to be accompanied by a limited upbringing which meant the only thing they could ever imagine doing on a Saturday night was having an all-beige dinner and watching only fools. I think noble was the only one who was really understanding the nan kid references.

I went to school with one real Nan called Terence, again carried a briefcase instead of a school bag, off-brand blazer etc, crazy bouffant side-parting haircut but had the sideburns cut level with the top of his ears. One of the few who seemed to function in society in adulthood, someone directed me to his twitter account two years ago , where he was tweeting detailed accounts of his covid symptoms, then that he was starting to improve, then shortly after he unfortunately died. CSB but Nans were always an interesting group, they seemed to just exist without a care in the world.

I know a classic nan who is well into football but he:

- buys club memorabilia
- collects programmes
- spends ages on football manager
- likes dungeons and dragons
- asks for steak well done
- has a Velcro wallet
- loves Star Wars excessively

All of these are classic Nan I would say.
