I feel sorry for Charlton - Garry Bushell, Jim Davidson AND Kelvin "CUNT" MacKenzie.
Although whether those three combined or Littlejohn on his own is the worst could be considered a moot point cos again... we've got PAUL FUCKING BURRELL!
He rarely turns up to games, mind. But brother Julian LW is very much a regular.
To be fair, JLW was on the radio (somewhere on here)talking about his love for Orient and suggested that Andrew and he used to go a lot as kids and the former is still a supporter if not a regular attender.
Sting jumped ship with the emergence of the Geordie Nation in 1992.....thank fuck. He has family members still going though.
Tamsin Archer (Sleeping Satellite)(regular) Her fellers from Sunlun and took her a few times and she loved it. Hes packed it in but she still goes on her own! Drives up from Yorkshire for every game.
Going by his age, the fact that he moved to London in 1984 and the claim that his 'short-lived tryst with the Romans" was ended by this move, Bill Bailey would have been following Bath City in the early 1980s.
At that time, they were playing in what is now the Conference Premier. You can call that the "Acme Wall-Cleaner Memorial League" if you find things like that funny, but Bath City were then a good non-League team.
And this "Twerton Park was proper old-school, with crumbling walls and crap pies" crap. This was over 30 years ago. Most grounds were like that all over the country.
The "relative razzmatazz" of Bristol City and Bristol Rovers? At that time, City were going bankrupt and slipping through the divisions, Rovers were in the process of losing their ground.
I think Bill Bailey's memory's playing tricks on him. Funny how that only happens to famous people who are trying to prove how solid their non-League credentials were 'back in the day'.
If he'd wanted old-school back then, he should have gone to watch Keynsham Town, who played right on his doorstep. Now that was old-school crap, really fucking absymal shite. I know that because I was playing for them.
Well, you can shove yer AC/DC and yer James Bond where the sun don't shine, 'cos at St Mirren we have the drummer from Deacon Blue, Dougie Vipond, as well as Jocky from Take The High Road.
We also have author Christopher Brookmyre as well as actor Douglas Henshall. And that's it.
York attract the commentators, it seems - both Guy Mowbray and Jon Champion are City fans. Mowbray does at least come to the match when he's not working.
Steve McLaren went to the school that you used to be able to jib over the fence of at the Shippo End to get in without paying, but he's never mentioned any affinity.
Pretty good comic Joe Wilkinson is a Gillingham fan (he's from there and it's in his twitter handle, no idea if he goes to games). As for Chelsea, we've a panoply of shite led by former Times Tory motoring journalist Giles Smith, who now writes articles for the club site. Appears to genuinely love the club though. Daniel Day-Lewis is our coolest celebrity fan but I doubt he turns up much if ever.
Also, Craig Short went to my old school (just outside York), but I read somewhere that he now supports Blackburn because of his connections to the club.
Derby have actor Jack O'Connell and one of the One Direction lads, Nial I think. To be honest not exactly my 'thing'
Although both the sons of John Motson and David Icke support Derby.
As did Tosh off the Bill (Kevin Lloyd), and his brother Terry Lloyd, who was the ITN journo attacked by Cantona on a beach and subsequently shot by American forces in a 'friendly fire' incident in Iraq.
