Older than your team
Sister MarÃa Calvo Casares of a convent in Valdemoro near Madrid is one fan who's older than the team they support.
Real Madrid were founded in 1902, making them 104 years old, but Sister Maria is one year older, not that she has many memories of life before Los Blancos: "I've supported Real Madrid since I was a little girl and all I want is for the team to win," she said. "I've prayed for Madrid so many times before important matches but it doesn't always work!" Club president Ramon Calderon presented her with a club scarf and signed football recently to pay homage to her long-lasting support.
