LONDON \u2014 As a teenager growing up in Scotland, Chris Fellowes watched NFL highlights each week during a one-hour television show.<\/p>\n
Rams quarterback Jim Everett was among the players that caught his eye, as did the team\u2019s bright colors.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlasgow is very dark, gloomy and wet,\u201d Fellowes said on Sunday, \u201cso, a beautiful contrast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fellowes and friends Tom Sloan and Georgia Gorham were among fans in Rams regalia streaming into Wembley Stadium to watch Rams coach Sean McVay lead his team against the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n
Fellowes said he started a team and played American football for 20 years. He has attended more than a dozen Rams games.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt defines my emotions and well-being,\u201d he said of his fandom. \u201cIt\u2019s very important.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sloan adopted the Rams because his local soccer team in Darby County is nicknamed the Rams. He said Gorham had no choice but to become a Rams fan as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then when we got engaged, it became time to get a jersey,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Claus Rasmussen and his son, Rasmus Kiebitz, traveled to the game from Denmark.<\/p>\n

Rasmussen said he has been a Rams fan since 1999, enjoyed watching Torry Holt and the \u201cGreatest Show on Turf\u201d teams from St. Louis, and once saw the Rams play the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.<\/p>\n
Puka Nacua and Matthew Stafford are Rasmussen\u2019s current favorite Rams players, and he still holds a soft spot for retired defensive lineman Aaron Donald.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope he comes back,\u201d Rasmussen joked. \u201cHe looks fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tommie Fawkes, his wife Kate and Simon Batten all had different roads to becoming Rams fans.<\/p>\n

Kate was born and raised in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
\u201cHometown pride always,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Fawkes said he used to follow the Tennessee Titans, but dropped them for the Rams when he got married. The couple attended a Rams game last year when they visited Kate\u2019s family in Southern California.<\/p>\n
Batten, a farmer, said that when he was in school he was going to choose to support either the Houston Texans \u2014 because of the bull\u2019s head in their logo \u2014 or the Rams.<\/p>\n
He opted for the Rams.<\/p>\n
\u201cI nearly dropped them when they moved to L.A.,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I came back when McVay came in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONDON \u2014 As a teenager growing up in Scotland, Chris Fellowes watched NFL highlights each week during a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12830,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[10834,11708,10141,4611,10949,11536,48,52,51,3556,47,50,49,3554,11706,10947,776,315,780,11535,11707],"class_list":{"0":"post-12829","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-davante-adams","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-grove","11":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","12":"tag-jaguar","13":"tag-jordan-whittington","14":"tag-la","15":"tag-la-headlines","16":"tag-la-news","17":"tag-live-update","18":"tag-los-angeles","19":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","20":"tag-los-angeles-news","21":"tag-odd","22":"tag-ram","23":"tag-rams","24":"tag-sunday","25":"tag-time","26":"tag-touchdown","27":"tag-tutu-atwell","28":"tag-watford"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
