Vincent So Chit-hon, 39, is chairman of the Arsenal Asia Supporters Club, which has just been made one of Arsenal's first official supporters clubs outside Britain. Members fly to London this weekend to see their team try to extend their unbeaten league run to 49 games.
I first started supporting Arsenal Football Club in 1979 when I was 14 years old. I had a good friend called Macdonald and Arsenal had a famous player called Malcolm Macdonald. I didn't stay friends with Macdonald but I've been an Arsenal fan ever since.
I went to see my first match at Highbury, Arsenal's home ground in London, in 1996. They were playing against Leeds and Arsenal won. I don't remember much about the game but I do remember the hamburger I bought outside the ground. It tasted really good.
I've been 10 or 11 times now and they've only lost once - against Chelsea in the Champions' League last year. Every other time I've been they have won. On Saturday, 19 of our members are going to see them play Aston Villa. I won't be going because I can't afford to, but I'll go in February to see the home game against Manchester United.
I set up the supporters club in May, 2002. When we started, we had 30 members. Now we have 150. We are still a small group and we want to get bigger and bigger. Around 400 or 500 members would be better. I spend an average of two hours a day working for the supporters club. We have to update the news on the website almost every day. I have to translate the news from English into Chinese and then update the website. It's getting lots of hits - about 10,000 a day.
My wife doesn't share my passion for Arsenal. She feels nothing in particular for the team. Sometimes she watches them on TV with me and she's okay about it - it's not a problem. I bought her some Arsenal clothes once and she does wear them occasionally.
Before last month, Arsenal had no official supporters clubs outside Britain. Now they have set up between 30 and 40. We are very proud to be one of the first. Among other things, it means we can give our members discounts on Arsenal souvenirs - members get a 15 per cent discount.
