Is there actually a list of Football journos and the clubs they support?

[hola gus]

It's not Paul Jiggins, is it? He writes for the Sun and contributes to our matchday programme.

Thats the bloke! Cheers

 

[brakespear]

alan green - manu

I thought he was Liverpool?

 

[Horsham Gull]

Ian "moose" Abrahams - west ham

 

[joeinbrighton]

alan green - manu
john inverdale - oxford united
hawsey - swindon

Alan Green is definitely not a Man United supporter. He claims to support Macclesfield, but he lives on Merseyside and his sympathies seem to lie with the red half of Merseyside.

 

[catfish]

David Lacey is an Albion fan.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I always get the impression that Alan 'this is dreadful' Green doesn't actually like football

 

[Se20]

Charlie Catchpole - Narrich

 

[KJP]

Alan Green is probably the most anti Man Utd "journalist" in the country

 

[lawros left foot]

I think Jonathan Pierce, although he lives in Brighton, is a Brizzle City fan

When I worked in Croydon and commuted, JP was on my train home a few times. He got off the train at Hassocks, so assume he lives near there. He does indeed support Bristol City. The BBC's main commentator Guy Mowbray I gather is a York City fan.

A few other ones I can think of:

Amy Lawrence - Arsenal
Mihir Bose - Tottenham
Brian Viner - Everton
Jim White (Telegraph writer, not SSN presenter) - Manchester United
Rod Liddle - Millwall
Brian Moore (Telegraph writer and former egg chaser) - Chelsea

 

[Jesus Gul]

Stuart Hall - Young Boys Bern

[el punal]

Paul Hayward of the Guardian, late of the Telegraph when he did a wonderful piece on the match/story when we played Hereford in THAT game. 99.9% certain that he's an Albion fan.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Danny Griffiths of the Metro is a Spurs supporter.

 

[el punal]

Richard Keys - Coventry City

Andy Gray - Rangers (the Scottish variety)

Alan Brazil - Celtic

Will Greenwood - Man.City

David Lloyd - Accrington Stanley

John McCririck - Newcastle

These are all TV/Radio commentators/pundits or presenters rather than journos.

Lewes over Brighton as far as I know, but that's splitting hairs really as he's a big fan of the Albion too

 

[MJsGhost]

I think Jonathan Pierce, although he lives in Brighton, is a Brizzle City fan

Wickham Hill, Hurstpierpoint (strictly speaking Hassocks if you're going to be picky) rather than Brighton. No idea who he supports, but he likes a dog walk!

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Lewes over Brighton as far as I know, but that's splitting hairs really as he's a big fan of the Albion too

He was at the Lewes/Albion friendly last season.

Hayward has been back at the Telegraph now for about the past 2 years.

 

[joeinbrighton]

He was at the Lewes/Albion friendly last season.

I remember him being stood a row in front of me at Lewes' match at the Dripping Pan on New Year's Day 2-3 years ago.
