Apologies if already mentioned but Marina Sirtis aka Deanna Troi from Star Trek The Next Generation is a yid.

Sam Fox is definitely a gooner, despite appearing on the front of 90 Minutes in a Spurs jersey c.1996. (Wasn't she standing beside Sheringham and the headline said something about "Tottenham's twin strike force"..? Which they'd hardly try now, of course.)
Indeed yes, Cat - whereas before I Googled 'Samantha Fox Spurs', this time I Googled 'Samantha Fox Arsenal' and her allegiance to the wretched mutants was confirmed. Regardless, thanks for the info, Cat.

I’ve seen Leo Gregory (actor, Green Street) on the shelf a couple of times. And sat behind James Cracknell (Rower) once.

With the excellent info from @al_pacino , @Houdini , @Bofrok , @Kilkenny Cat , @gp13tot , @mark_2017 , and @timboyid below is a new updated list:

Can't confirm James Cracknell, timbo as there's nothing online. Not saying you didn't see him, but can't find anything to say that he's an actual fan of the club, is what I mean.

Honourable mention to @the shelf for Dick Valentine who was already on the list. Thanks for the info regardless.

@fingersinc - do you have any info that can be used to confirm Kenny Lynch? The only things I've managed to find were some rather vague things which actually link him to Man City, rather than Spurs: one is that he was very good friends with Mike Summerbee in the 1960s and that he appeared on an episode of Quizball as a member of the Man City panel, so I'm having trouble confirming his allegiance. I've also found a youtube vid where he takes the piss out of Yanited...

However, in searching for confirmation regarding Kenny Lynch, I did discover that Henry Moore, the sculptor, was a Spurs fan, so that was useful. That was in George Best's autobiography, madly enough.

Re Jessie J @kmk - I don't actually think she's a Spurs fan herself. Her Dad certainly is. There's an interview with her on YouTube where she speaks about going to a Spurs game and how her Dad was excited, but she states that she doesn't know any of the player's names (not even the captain on the occasion she went). Most telling is that she wore red (in fact, they made her change her clothes apparently). Beyond that I can't actually find anything that says she's a Spurs fan herself, only her Dad. Will put in the can't confirm section

Hang on. JK Rowling is a Spurs fan? Maybe I had the Worst Witch rip-off wrong all along.

Did we ever get a consensus on Bob Marley?

The philosopher AJ Ayer was a Spurs fan, had a season ticket.

According to wikipedia he also once confronted Mike Tyson at a party in defence of Naomi Campbell.

What I've managed to find is that Marley, after watching the 1978 World Cup, became a massive Ossie fan (Argentina having lifted the WC that year as we all know).

Because of that, someone at Island Records, Marley's label, sent Bob a Spurs shirt and he was photographed wearing that.

That said, there are pictures of Bob Marley in a HSV Berlin shirt too. All we know is that he was football mad, but whether he was a Spurs supporter I've not been able to ascertain.

I’ll take it.

I pretty much count Maradona as a Spurs fan after the Ossis testimonial and his recent tweets in his Spurs shirt. I’d imagine Maradona certainly has more affection for us than any other English club, which is one hell of an endorsement from the best footballer of all time.

The Gooners have Bin Laden.

*edit - and obviously Maradona visiting us at a Spurs game and meeting Pochettino and Kane.

I don't know what we count as famous, no disrespect to these two, but I'm pretty sure Max Rushden from Talksport (though also Cambridge) and Adam Smith (Little Elvis/Frankie Fryer) from Soccer AM are both Spurs fans

Ray Liotta.
Ah. Can definitively say that Ray Liotta isn't a Spurs fan. That's an old story that has been debunked. It is true that he attended a Spurs game, but it was only because he happened to be in London and wanted to see a football match. It was decided that he would go to White Hart Lane simply on the toss of a coin.

Will look into the Eggheads chap.

Max Rushden is a Cambridge United fan but he has a soft spot for Spurs as his dad is a fan.
