Who's the most famous fan of your club?
 
Everton - Paul McCartney apparently, but I find that highly dubious as I've NEVER heard him mention us once, so it's probably out of English rugby player Austin Healy or ancient English comic actor Norman Wisdom...
 
Makes me want to become a celebrity, just so I can be Everton's celebrity fan!
 
 
What about your club? Got a genuine superstar? Or someone cringeworthy?

The Queen is a Gooner. So is Prince Harry.  
Outside of royalty there is the ever so lovely Dido, Roger Waters, our own Neil Finn and Kevin Costner. I could go on really.
 
My favourite pair of gooners no doubt is the 'Buffy' pair, of Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar (who was obviously Buffy). Legends.

Three for me, and two for them.

Funny how no one has mentioned that Osama Bin Laden was a frequent vistor to Highbury in the 90's Should probably keep that one a bit quiet.

Paul Mac is definatly a blue. John Lennon dug his toes in and said he liked Rugby. George was a redsh*te and Ringo was Tranmere. On Sergent peppers cover there is a pic of Dixie Dean and some Liverpool player who slippes my mind. So you are right Pie!

Sure is. He attended a University or something in London in the early 90's.

Hey Scottishbhoy, think you'll find that Justin Currie from Del Amitri is a Thistle supporter. Don't you dare try and take our only celebrity supporter off us!

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I think Sean Connery supports whoever has got him in the VIP box that week, he's at Ibrox as often as Parkhead, occasionally Tynecastle as well.

Not sure if anyone can definitely say - but being a Foutainbridge boy I would have guessed he's a jambo

Danny Baker!  Thought we were talking about celebrities, Skaman

I remember that great show he did where they had highlights from the Sunday pub league games at Hackney Marshes. Classic stuff.  I like old Danny. Funny bloke.

I was reading an issue of Four Four Two today and it had an article in relation to the validity of whether Osama Bin Laden actually ever attended Highbury. He is supposed to have attended a ECWC quarter final game against Torino in 1994 and there were reports that American soldiers found a ticket stub in a cave in Afghanistan in 2001 which was from an Arsenal v PSG game which was the 1994 ECWC semi final.
 
Apparently after that Arsenal fans came up with the chant of "Osama, oh oh oh, Osama oh oh oh, he's hiding near Kabul, he loves the Arsenal..."
