Hi,


Placido Domingo is a huge football/Barcelona fan and he actually schedules his singing arrangement in a way so as to not interfere with the World Cup games.

I recall seeing an FSC "Hi, I'm ??? and you're watching the Fox Soccer Channel" segment involving two singers from Depeche Mode. I can't remember their names but one was a Chelsea supporter and the other was for Arsenal.

They're not an EPL team but actor Patrick Stewart is a hard-core Huddersfield Town (HTFC) fan. On one occasion he went on the pitch at the Galpharm Stadium to wave to the crowd and was greeted with a chant of "Picard is a Town fan" and the Vulcan salute.

There is a Canadian musician, Matthew Good, who is a die-hard Arsenal supporter. He's done segments on MuchMusic (Canada's MTV) wearing an Arsenal jersey and even once did an interview at a local stadium where he made the VideoJockey play footie with him.


Too bad he's an irrepresible c***, otherwise, I'd probably be a big fan of his.

In the Fox Soccer spot with the two Depeche Mode members, the Arsenal fan is Martin Gore, and I believe (but am not certain) that the Chelsea fan is David Gahan.

Johnny "Rotten" Lydon is a big time Gooner!
So is Roger Daltrey of The Who. He even sang during the last match at Highbury. How you missed them with some of the ponces that made this list is beyond me. I also think one of The Rifles is a Hammers fan as they had a West Ham Flag draped over one of their amps when I saw them in London last year. But we won't hold it against them.

Anyone that watches socceram would see the whole thing where celebrities without clubs pick out of the hat.

I think Seth Rogan got Bournemouth and Evander Holyfield were on a few weeks ago can't remember exactly think he got Tranmere.

Paul Greengrass is a spurs fan im pretty sure. He talked about bourne ultimatum and the possibility of a fourth edition on the Mayo etc with Damon...

To correct Lynne K's post above (a year after she posted it but what the hell...):

Depeche Mode's Martin Gore is not an Arsenal fan, he supports Chelsea.

Singer Dave Gahan is also a Chelsea fan, but he isn't into football very much

Keyboardist Andy Fletcher is a Liverpool supporter.

Finally, Alan Wilder, who left Depeche Mode in '94, is a QPR supporter.

And yes, I am a *huge* Depeche Mode fan.

Damien Lovelock from the 'Celibate Rifles' is an Arsenal fan. He does commenatary in Australia now. His old man used to play for Arsenal. A good family for sure. Pretty funny though, his band was called 'Celibate Rifles' and his old man played for 'Gunners'.

Snoop Dogg and Kobe Bryant(LOL, I know he's not a musician) are reportedly huge Barcelona fans. In fact, Kobe is said to be good friends with Ronaldinho.
Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns is a huge Spurs fan .
Luol Deng of the Chicago Bulls is said to be a huge Inter fan.

Paul Bestall · 1 year ago

Yeah, there was a lot in the British media regarding Steve Nash after he said it was his dream to one day own Tottenham.

Pete Doherty (Libertines and Babyshambles) is a QPR fan.
Jarvis Cocker, Nick Banks and Richard Hawley (Pulp) are all Sheffield Wednesday fans.
Pete Tong ( king of British Dance radio) is a Gooner I believe as is Benny Anderson of ABBA and Chris Lowe of the Pet Shop Boys!
As for my beloved Spurs, we have the following
Phil Collins, Bruce Foxton (The jam), Lush ( mid ninties indie band), Status Quo and Lemar.
Dont forget Derek Smalls of Spinal Tap, who supports Shrewsbury Town.

Surely the strangest is Jon Anderson, lead singer of Yes and Jon and Vangelis, who supports Accrington Stanley!!

Saw this on your comments... I always find it funny who Morrissey supports... There was word that he liked Man U, even wrote a song about the Munich Air disaster.. Then he went on his Bobby Moore kick, and wore the West Ham Boys club. I think its more about being an east end hard man. And recently it was reported he supported Millwall of all teams. again wanting to line up with so called 'hard' men.

West Ham is the English team for Rod Stewart, David Essex, Nick Berry ( if you call his album music), John Cleese ( sang a bit), Phil Collen of Def Leppard, Roger O'Donnell of the Cure, Louise Wener of Sleeper, Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters, Chesney Hawkes, Keith Flint of the Prodigy, Jo O'Meara of S Club 7 ( yeah I know), Russell Brand ( he at least played a rock star)

and yeah and Obama ( they called him a rock star)

THFC4LIFE · 11 months ago

Warren Mitchell, Phil Cornwell, Paul Whitehouse, Patsy Kensit, Jerry Springer, Peter Cook and Paul Merton are all Spurs fans but seeing as this is about musicians then so are Jeff Beck, Donny Osmond, Bob Marley, Shania Twain, Chas 'n' Dave and the band 'Ride'.
