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.

The author Darren Shan, known mainly for the Cirque du Freak and Demonata series, is a huge Spurs fan. My favourite writer as a child, we're regularly featured in his books, he's talked about us loads, and did half time on the pitch at WHL a few years back.

Rez, add neil pearson and lush to your list, I'm sure a google will confirm these as spurs.

Indeed. Although it's not every member of Lush - it's the lead singer, Miki Berenyi and (now deceased) drummer Chris Acland. Interestingly, I've discovered that Simon Raymonde from the Cocteau Twins and Kevin McKillop and Russell Yates from Moose are also Spurs fans. These five formed a short-lived supergroup in 1991 called the Lillies. They recorded only one song entitled, David Seaman Will Be Very Disappointed About That. The track was a free flexi-disc given with the September 1991 issue of the Spur fanzine and commemorated the 3-1 beating of the Scum in the previous season's semi-final. Brilliant!

Neil Pearson is also confirmed and I'll update the list when we have a few more names.

John Cena is not a fan, that was just a publicity stunt to promote the 2008 Royal Rumble whilst he was injured.

I’ve seen talk about this a few times as if it proves he’s not a Spurs fan. Whilst he might not have been until that promotions, I’ve seen and read interviews where he talks about that sparking his interest in Spurs and how much he loved the stadium, coach etc. There’s nothing to suggest he didn’t become a spud after the initial thing.

Interesting. I shall do a little internet research. Although given my recent lack of success in another thread, not sure how good that'll be....

I have never read or heard any interviews saying so, apologies if he has. My take was if the 2nd leg was at Arsenal he'd be holding up their shirt etc. Also many reference him being there that night holding shirt as proof he is a fan, he may have become one afterwards, however him being there in the first place was just promotional work for Royal Rumble not any interest in us per say like a Finn Balor visit.

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

 

[oohaahedgar]

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

 

[mabolsa_ritchey]

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

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

Would certainly help to explain & understand the drug dependence then.
