Famous Spurs Fans!

[riggi]

Haha you have to love Wiley. Bless his cotton socks :

I'll let him off as I've been a fan from day one. He's abit of a bell for that though.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Would explain why he became a piss head .

Oliver Reed, Amy Winehouse.

Coincidence?

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Actually, has this legendary nut-job been mentioned?

I fucking love this story.

Charles Bronson has described the moment he “lost it” and covered himself in butter before attacking 12 prison officers, because Arsenal won the FA cup.

Bronson, a Tottenham Hotspur fan, said he “had another rumble” at Full Sutton prison in York after Tottenham’s arch rivals beat Hull at Wembley

I saw Tony Robinson (Baldrick) at the lane once when we were playing WBA

Can confirm that Tony Robinson is, or at least was, a Spurs fan. In his autobiography, he relates a tale of meeting a girlfriend's parents and it mentions he's a Spurs supporter.

Bruce Forsyth was a Spurs fan but also an Arsenal fan. Used to go to both.
Amy Whinehouse was a Spurs fan as well.

Unfortunately, I've not been able to find anything that confirms Amy Winehouse. I did find a piece in the Mail Online that states she was seen wearing an Aston Villa pendant. So I'm going to put her in the Can't confirm section for now.

Not sure if it was a sketch, but saw a clip of Oliver Reed saying he supports Tottenham during an interview. Then offers the interviewer a fight

Like Winehouse, can't find anything to confirm that Reed was a Spurs fan. That said, I also was of the impression that I'd seen something where he confirmed that he was. Will put him in the can't confirm section for now with the view to seeing if I can find confirmation later.

Drummer from Vampire Weekend - also assuming you have the late and very great Peter Cook on the list?

Indeed, Chris Tomson of Vampire Weekend is a Spurs fan and apparently often plays gigs wearing a Spurs shirt. This is confirmed in a Lawro Predicts where the formerly-mustachioed whinger went head to head with Vampire Weekend. Peter Cook will be on the next update, yes.

+ Wiley + Skepta + SL on the UK grime/rap front

Obvs Adele

Adele is already on the list. Can confirm Wiley. Can also confirm Devlin. However, cannot confirm Skepta. There is a piece on the Spurs website about Devlin and in that, it states that AJ Tracey and Wiley are Spurs fans, but only mentions Skepta as being 'Tottenham-born' and does so after specifically mentioning Wiley and AJ Tracey as being supporters. Can confirm SL, however.

EDIT: Have now found confirmation of Skepta

Actually, has this legendary nut-job been mentioned?

Can confirm this and Bronson (or Charles Salvador, as he is now called) will be on the next update.

Ousmane Dembele, obvs

Paul Whitehouse.

 

[gushayes11]

Isn't Kenneth Brannagh a confirmed one, hence his appearance in the White Hart Lane Finale video?

He is. Sat next to him at that game.

He's quite a character isn't he. Changed his name since I think.

 

[Metalhead]

He is. Sat next to him at that game.

Ken should get himself in the dressing room next time he's there. A bit of Hamlet would go down well with the lads before the game.

 

[Metalhead]

God bless him for being a yid, but that is not Sherlock Holmes...this is:

I swear on Odin I will cage fight any mthrfkr who says otherwise.

Good man - unfortunately a lot of these young whippersnappers have probably never heard of Jeremy.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

He's quite a character isn't he. Changed his name since I think.

Yeah he's all kinds of crazy & I love him for it.

 

[Metalhead]

Yeah he's all kinds of crazy & I love him for it.

He's institutionalised now isn't he.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

He's institutionalised now isn't he.

To be honest, it's not really surprising if he is. Considering he was originally only jailed for 7 years & is still there 45 years later. The real world would probably be far too much of a culture shock for him to handle.

 

[rez9000]

Another update, chaps. I've not put Dembele on the confirmed list as the only thing I can find is the wearing of the shirt in an Instagram video by Aubamayang. There is nothing else that suggests he's a Spurs fan. If someone can find citations about those on the unconfirmed list that would be awesome.

EDIT: Updated list further down

Tony Robinson is a Bristol City fan

Tony Robinson is a Bristol City fan

Oooh, interesting. Source? I'm going by a snippet from his autobiography in which his then-girlfriend says 'yes, but you're a Spurs fan'.

 

[kneesalltrembly]

Gail emms

 

[rez9000]

I had a quick look and apparently he Robinson has described Bristol City winning promotion (to the Championship) as the 'happiest day of [his] life'.

Another Forsythesque loyalty, perhaps @Spurs' Pipe Dreams ?

I'm moving him to the unconfirmed list.

I lived in Bristol and watched Rovers, other fans told me he was + his Twitter feed
