I just had a quick read of the director Steve McQueens wiki page after watching one of his new anthology films today (Mangrove). In the ‘personal’ section it states that he used to be a Spurs fan but quit as it affected his day too much!

I’d never quit but I know what he means, especially on days like today. ?

It’s funny that I was watching Small Axe when I read your post.

I think it's quite well known he's a spurs fan, he did a short official vid in 2014.

Ivor novello nominee Michael Kiwanuka is Spurs, I remember him saying so on Sunday Brunch a while back.

Never heard of this guy until I saw him on the Graham Norton show tonight.

His 70s style of rock/soul music is right up my street.

Just googled him and found out that he is from Muswell Hill and is a big Spurs fan.

He has also been nominated for best male solo and best album at this year’s Brit awards.

Once again I have failed to master the thread's search function. Apologies and thanks for pointing it out.

A great musician, seems a bit of a dude, and definitely worth a second mention.

We are to be blessed with many great and admirable fans but cursed when it comes to winning things (to a degree since the early sixties -without question since the nineties). Anyone born in the eighties who chose to follow Spurs in the nineties is a bloody hero! I was in my twenties by then and had no choice.

Being a 70s/80s child, I’m not a fan of most music from this millennium. However, Michael Kiwanuka is a special talent.

Bob Marley was a Spurs fan.. Ajax just made their 3rd jersey in honour of Bob and the 3 little birds song as the fans sing it quite often during chants.

Would love for Spurs to come up with a 3rd kit and somewhat remember Bob Marley as he was a fan and how cool will that be.. Rasta Fashion

During a recent England test match when Mikey Holding was commentating, the conversation somehow got onto which football team if any, he supported, and he said many years ago, he loved Tottenham and his absolute hero was Jimmy Greaves, although in the modern day, his love for football has waned and he doesn't follow it any more. I don't know if that makes Mikey a celebrity Spurs fan, but it's a nice thing to bear in mind about him as I listen to his wonderful cricket commentaries.

No idea who this guy is, but that yellow kit really was gorgeous wasn’t it. Wish that had been the template for all three kits.
