Famous Fans

[SelbyBlade]

I have been writing a quiz for some friends in Durham who are big Sunderland fans. I was trying to find a famous fan question for them, I found Peter O'Toole and Kate Aidy but thought our list of famous fans to be far more impressive. This is the list from wikipedia I wondered if anyone wanted to add to it. Their "boards" listed Sugar Ray Leonard as a fan but it turns out he likes Stoke so sometimes confusion exists as to who supports who. The one I envy is Fulham who have Margo Robbie as a fan.

• Sean Bean, actor[53]
• Kell Brook. boxer[54]
• Richard Caborn, Labour Party politician[55]
• Joe Elliott, singer-songwriter and musician[56]
• Jessica Ennis-Hill, Olympic gold-medallist[57]
• Flea, singer and actor[58]
• Matthew Fitzpatrick, golfer[59]
• Mick Foley, author, actor and former professional wrestler[60]
• Paul Goodison, Olympic gold-medallist[61]
• Paul Heaton, musician[62]
• Ding Junhui, professional snooker player
• Mark Labbett, Chaser on TV quiz show The Chase[63]
• Michael Palin, writer and television presenter[64]
• Joe Root, England cricketer[65]
• Juan Sebastián Verón, former Argentina international footballer

What happened to Anna walker btw ?

Don’t watch it any more, but she retired and Bet Lynch took over I think. There’s been quite a few changes since then. Hope this helps.
