Football clubs supported by fictional characters

[Mumpo]

I'm compiling our local pub quiz in a few weeks and I had this idea for the picture round.

Everyone gets pictures of ten fictional characters, as usual, but instead of simply identifying them, they have to say which football team they supported.

Trouble is, off the top of my head, the only character I think can of whose team I know is Alf Garnett.

Er... any others?

That's great too, thanks GO.

Sorry, if we could just go back to Taggart...

Rebus can be a nasty one. From Wikipedia:

... in the television series Rebus is portrayed as being a supporter of Hibernian. This is not found in Ian Rankin's books, he having stated outside the books that Rebus is a Raith Rovers supporter.[10] His colleague DS Siobhan Clarke's support of Hibernian F.C. is openly referenced in many of the books.

I thought Fletcher was a Spurs fan?

Alfie Moon, Billy Mitchell & Mick Carter in Eastenders all support West Ham. Not the earthy delights of Walford Town for them.

Barry in Auf Wiedersehn Pet was a Wolves supporter, and Bomber was a Bristol City fan.

Vic Wilcox in David Lodge's Nice Work supports Rummidge City, who are presumably based on Birmingham City.

The gangster in the Graham Hurley detective stories, set in Portsmouth, is a big Pompey fan.

Iain Banks was a Morton fan but I don't think he has any of his characters support them(?)

Rebus doesn't even like football, does he?

I think Dirty Den was West Ham too. At least he sometimes used to wear a claret and blue scarf while out walking Roly.
