Seorang peminat bolasepak telah bertanyakan kepada 92 kelab bolasepak Inggeris mengapa dia perlu menyokong mereka dan hanya 10 pasukan yang menjawab pertanyaan beliau itu.
Peminat bolasepak Bosnia, Aldin Karabeg memerlukan sebuah pasukan bolasepak untuk disokong dan beliau telah bertanyakan kepada kesemua 92 buah kelab bolasepak Inggeris.
Tindakan beliau itu adalah untuk menentukan dan memilih pasukan mana yang harus disokong beliau.
Daripada 92 kelab ataupun pasukan, hanya 10 pasukan sahaja yang membalas pertanyaan beliau. Ini bermakna 82 buah pasukan lagi tidak menghiraukan pertanyaan beliau.
Beliau turut membuat tampalan mengenai pertanya beliau pada reddit.
I already posted it yesterday in comments, now posting it here; I sent emails to all 92 clubs from the first 4 tiers of the English league system asking why I should be a fan of their club. 10 clubs responded. - Aldin Karabeg
Berikut adalah maklum balas diterima beliau setelah menghantar e-mail kepada kelab-kelab bolasepak Inggeris.

2. Everton
Thank you for writing to Everton Football Club.
Everton……The best team in the world. Evertonians are born not made. You don't understand what it is to love Everton unless you actually do, they're more than just a football team.
The history of Everton Football Club is so much more than the players who have graced the hallowed Goodison Park turf.
There's more to Everton than the trophies in the cabinet; the Toffees have been constant innovators in the footballing world, ceaselessly striving to be the best, and the first to accomplish new feats, while establishing new norms. The Nil Satis Nisi Optimum ("Nothing but the best is good enough") motto could not be more appropriate.
From becoming one of the founder members of the football league in 1888, right through to present day when we announced a new service which allows fans to purchase match tickets through text message,
Everton have always been at the forefront of new ideas.
Did you know we were the first to wear numbers on our backs, the first to have a purpose-built football stadium, and the first go on an overseas tour?
Below is an extensive list of some of the significant landmarks that Everton Football Club has accomplished since its birth.

➠First club to be featured in a TV game in August 1936 v Arsenal. Not live (pre-recorded).

Kind regards,
Is there any mail in here that seems genuine, and as not an automated response?
Pasukan mana yang menjadi pilihan Aldin?
Pada mulanya, Aldin seolah-olah telah memilih kelab Barnet kerana sambutan dan balasan email yang memikat beliau.
"Saya mungkin akan membalas mereka, mereka menyebut negara saya dan semuanya. Ianya kelihatan seperti mereka membaca e-mel saya."
Bagaimanapun...
Kisah Aldin kini telah dibaca dan disebarkan secara meluas. Sehinggakan pemain tengah Everton, Mo Besic yang berasal daripada Bosnia (negara yang sama dengan beliau) telah menghantar mesej berikut:
"Hei Aldin, saya hanya mahu mengatakan hi dan memberitahu anda bahawa saya sangat gembira kerana anda adalah penyokong Everton sekarang. Dan saya berharap, jika Tuhan mengizinkannya, saya akandapat melihat anda di Goodison Park menyokong kami. Sekali lagi, tahniah untuk pilihan anda, dan itu sahaja. "
Kini Adlin adalah 100% penyokong Everton!
