Is Alan Davies (Jonathan Creek) a Blade?

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Did anybody see the One Show live in Encs today?

Alan Davies was talking about his time in Sheffield and he was asked to judge a cake making competition. There were some really good cakes including one decorated with a forest scene which was superb and all the entrants were older women with the exception of pone cake baked by a young girl. Her cake was a Blades Shirt complete with red and white stripes and a thin black line on the side of each stripe.

He asked each woman about her cake and the little girl said, "I baked it because I like Sheffield United"

When asked which was the prize winner, he said, "We're in Sheffield so it can only be the Blades!"

Top man!

Great programme actually!

I seem to remember him saying he was a big Arsenal fan in an interview at some point. Might be wrong though...

From Wikipedia:

Davies is a fan of Arsenal F.C. and a season ticket holder. He says he became a fan because his "brother was a Spurs fan and he didn't want to be the same". Davies also used to host the podcast "It's Up For Grabs Now"[23] which took a light-hearted look at goings on at the club. On 18 January 2011, Alan began hosting the new Arsenal Podcast "The Tuesday Club" with stand-up comedian Ian Stone, friend Keith Dover, DJ Tayo Popoola and Skint Recordsfounder Damian Harris who sit with him at Arsenal home games.

So I think he's undecided.

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Everybody has a second team....

 

[Bladesman]

Angelica Bell's grandad (also dad of Greenwich Blade of hitchhiking and general media whoredom fame and occasional poster on here) who did the steelworks bit is also a massive Blade

He's an Arsenal fan.

He only chose the United cake because it was baked by the young girl.

Doesn't take much working out.

I'd say adopted Blade too. He also picked the Brownies as winners (that should have been my brownies there but that's another story) so I double like him at the moment

How can you be a massive Blade?

 

[judge]

I heard he is a big Liverpool fan and gives generously to the justice for 96 campaign

How can you be a massive Blade?

He's quite slight in stature actually. And I'm not such a massive Blade either these days as I've been on a diet and lost two stone in two months.
