[Football] A thread full of famous people and which team they support

[robinsonsgrin]

Every Comedian (Eddie Izzard, Doc Brown, Jo Brand and more) - Palace. I guess you need a sense of humour.

oh no, you missed off El Presidente's mate Kevin Day... pod host extraordinaire...

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Peter Cleall (Duffy in Please Sir) - The Albion

Mark Williams (Red Dwarf/The Fast Show) - Aston Villa (although he was seen at Withdean wearing a Brighton shirt - mate of Ralph Brown's I think)

And the real reason Louise left Jamie....

 

[W3 BHA]

James Haddock, Sky Sports golf presenter is an Albion fan and is said to to take shirts/scarves with him wherever they are working.

Used to see Mark Williams at Gillingham a fair bit - even had him in fits of laugher when one of our group fell asleep during a game and a ball nearly hit him !

Week after week, clubs' 'most famous supporters' are invariably people I've never heard of! Strangely, they often don't wear a lot of clothes either ....................

 

[Bodian]

David Cameron - West Villa

 

[Guinness Boy]

James Haddock, Sky Sports golf presenter is an Albion fan and is said to to take shirts/scarves with him wherever they are working.

I hope he has a good plaice to put them.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Harold Wilson - Huddersfield
Ted Heath - Burnley
John Major - Chelsea
Michael Foot - Plymouth (and was registered in their squad as number 90 on his birthday)
Tony Blair - Newcastle
John Prescott - Hull
David Cameron - Aston Villa or West Ham *edit* Beaten to it

 

[zefarelly]

David Cameron, Villa (and West Ham)
both Gallaghers, Man City
Rachel Riley, Man U (unfortunately)
Piers Morgan, Arse (fortunately)
Craig David, Southampton
Bob The Builder (Neil Morrissey), Palace

Famous, not Infamous.

 

[Smillie's People]

Warren Aspinall (BBC Albion "Neutral"). Not rated at Griffin Park, now Kew Bridge. Dunno why though.

 

[Stato]

Some years back there was a thread that asked for celebrity Brighton fans and someone posted an unsourced suggestion that Rik Mayall followed us. I doubt very much whether its true. He wasn't from here, as far as I'm aware he never lived here and I don't know that he even watched football. However I'd be fully behind spreading this totally unsupported claim until it develops the same legs as 'vikings wore horned helmets', 'Bob Holness played sax on 'Baker Street', or 'olives are a foodstuff'.

If Palace can make up rubbish about the year they were founded, why shouldn't we get to do the same about which dead geniuses may have supported us?

 

[Baldseagull]

Famous people that I am happy do not support Brighton

Osama Bin Laden, Piers Morgan - Arsenal
Jimmy Saville - Leeds United
Stuart Hall - Manchester City
David Mellor- Chelsea
David Icke - Leicester

 

[Baldseagull]

Posh Spice - Gary Hart, so by association, Brighton

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I suspect it is more likely the joke's on you.....but I could be Ron.

 

[schmunk]

God - York City*





* and Leeds, of course.

 

[carlzeiss]

Jeremy Corbyn - Arsenal

 

[Baldseagull]

oh no, you missed off El Presidente's mate Kevin Day... pod host extraordinaire...

I also missed off, Mark Steel, Rob Newman, Ronnie Corbett, Roy Hudd, Harry Enfield, and I think Bob Monkhouse too, but on checking could not find a reference for him.

 

[carlzeiss]

John Baine , AKA " Attila the Stockbroker " , Albion and Southwick FC , of course

Ian Poulter - Arsenal
Lee Westwood - Forest
Matt Fitzpatrick - Sheff U
Ross Fisher - BHAFC (but possibly through friendship with Stocko so may well be WWFC now)
