Prince William, Adele, Idris Elba: Every Premier League's club's most famous fan
One of the great things about football is its ability to unite fans from all kinds of different backgrounds through a mutual love of the beautiful game.
Celebrities and other high-profile figures might enjoy fame and fortune, but many of them are just as passionate as the rest of us about their favourite team.
Having millions in the bank must be a fantastic feeling. However, it probably doesn’t do all that much to comfort you immediately after your team loses a crucial match.
Recently, the folks over at FourFourTwo decided to take a look at the Premier League line-up for the 2022/23 season and name each team’s most famous fan.
According to their article, they were determined to only select celebrities “who actually attend games and screams at the telly, not just an A-list actor who was presented with a shirt once”.
With that in mind, let’s dive into their choices below.
Arsenal – Idris Elba
Aston Villa – Prince William
Bournemouth – Alex James (Blur bassist)
Brentford – Hard Fi’s Richard Archer and The Bluetones’ Adam Devlin
Brighton – Fatboy Slim
The countdown kicks off with British actor Elba who – while launching an Arsenal kit in 2019/20 – claimed he could have played for the Gunners as a youngster.

Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton’s famous fans all come from the world of music – with Seagulls supporter Norman ‘Fatboy Slim’ Cook being the most notable of the bunch.
Chelsea – Michael Caine
Crystal Palace – Bill Nighy
Everton – Dame Judi Dench
Fulham – Margot Robbie
Leeds – Russell Crowe
