Charlton Athletics most famous supporter...

[little al]

And Little Al, you've got it wrong about Kelvin McKenzie being a Charlton supporter. I have the book about The Sun, Stick it up your punter, which makes much of his support for Millwall and their working class roots.

I was always under the impression he was a Clown. I stand corrected.

famous palace supporters

Ronnie Corbett is a HEARTS man.

I must admit, it saddens me to think that Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard and Sean Hughes are all Palace fans. Not surprised that Neil Morrissey, Mark Butcher and David "Kid" Jenson are all on the list of SHAME though.

Club Page looks to me like Wigan are really struggling judging by their "famous" fan

Just to clear up the Kelvin MacKenzie debate, as is it is I feel the most important thing to be talking about at this monent in time:

Kelvin switched allegiance - a cardinal sin amongst football fans, obviously, but he did so - from Millwall to Charlton around 15 years ago, because (a) he'd started going to games with his kids, and wanted a more 'family friendly' environment, and (b) he'd become a bit matey with Alan Curbishley, who was the regular guest on L!VE TV's sports show.

I worked at L!VE at the time and though Kelvin's politics make me want to vomit in my own face, he was always a nice enough bloke in the flesh, and bought me many a beer. Just so you know.

Now carry on talking about some inconsequential football match or something.

Well, that's cleared that up that. I didn't know that.

How the hell does someone above the age of 14 switch football teams? It's not something you do unless there's a compelling external factor (eg Wimbledon fans supporting AFC Wimbledon).

It's particularly bizarre in McKenzie's case as, the book makes clear, supporting Millwall was part of his make-up and he saw The Sun as appealing to the average Millwall fan. There was probably some need to compensate for his public school upbringing by stressing his 'working class' credentials (see Rod Liddle) but it certainly didn't seem to be fake.

McKenzie is an utter arse, that's how.
