Famous Spurs Fans!

[rez9000]

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

Have checked through and from what I gather he's switched football clubs a couple of times. Started as Spurs, then went Stoke before finally settling on Bristol City.

I think we can class him as no longer a Spurs fan, so I'll remove him from the list next time.

Good find!

Confirmed. Apparently, at one point, he wanted to buy a flat in Tottenham so he would have somewhere to crash on match weekends.

Sat next to him and comedian Jeff Green at the 1999 League Cup Final, both were supporting Spurs.

Wouldn’t he be better of buying a Ford Focus or something similar?

Who? Dude, the thread title says 'famous'.

I saw Ray Liotta at the Lane once.

Yes, an old chestnut. There's a 2017 interview in the Rake magazine where he puts the idea he's an avid fan to bed. Apparently, he wanted to go to a football match while in London once and chose a Spurs game on a coin toss.

Matt Horne - confirmed.
David O'Doherty - not confirmed. His twitter feed only mentions Spurs twice and in neither does he actually mention anything about supporting them. Will put him in the can't confirm section

 

[SE Spurs]

I'm sure he's been mentioned, I've not read through. But I'm naming him again, because he was so bloody funny . . . Peter Cook.

I can do one impersonation in the world, and it’s one word. It’s John Motson, the great football commentator saying the nickname of my favourite football team, Tottenham Hotspur, and he says “Spursh”.​

The comedian revealed his love of the team on a 2014 episode of 8 Out of 10 Cats.

That's helpful. And acts as confirmation.

BTW: you didn't need to give me a Disagree. Not having managed to memorise every episode of 8 Out of 10 cats on the off-chance someone mentions their allegiance to Spurs, I can only go with what I can find, yes?
