[WATFORD zero]

Some famous names from the world of music off the top of my head:

Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris - West Ham
Slash - Stoke
Ozzy, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath - Villa
Alex Turner - Sheffield Wednesday
Bastille's drummer Woody - Plymouth
Justin Hawkins - Presumption is usually Norwich as The Darkness are from that neck of the woods, but pretty sure he's a Man United fan
Dani Filth - QPR
The Proclaimers - Hibs
Nina Hagen - Union Berlin presumably, as she recorded the club's official anthem for them.
Brian Johnson - Newcastle
Roger Daltrey - Arsenal
Scroobius Pip and Rancid's Lars Fredriksen - Millwall
Paul Weller - Chelsea

Steve Ferrone, drummer with AWB, Tom Petty, loads of top acts - Albion
(Wore a seagulls beanie when he did the Superbowl half time show with Tom Petty)

Huey Morgan had a section on his 6 Music show called "The Player's Ball" which was a tribute to session and studio musicians who had been on loads of great tracks. Ferrone was one of them and Huey mentioned he's a Brighton fan. He's played on so much good stuff I immediately googled him and I'm sure have seen him at games before, though I guess he lives in the States?

 

[Weststander]

Jeremy Corbyn, John Bercoa and Keir Starmer all Arsenal
Gordon Brown Raith Rovers
David Lammy - Spurs
Newcastle MP, Chi Onwurah - Newcastle (natch)

and on the other side
Jeremy Hunt - Chelsea
Ken Clarke - Notts Co and Forest

John Bercow’s also a rich Tory. Belatedly changing parties.

Steve Ferrone

Good shout...had forgotten that Superbowl appearance!

Steve Harris bass player from my fave band Iron Maiden is serious West Ham fanatic. You can buy official Maiden themed Hammers shirt produced in collaboration with West Ham. His fave bass guitar is in the colours and has the badge. As a youth he had trials with them but decided to go with the music. Probably made the right choice!

I was incredibly tempted to post that picture of 'Arry with Zabaleta when mentioning him. That image lives rent free in my head

Brazilian football shirt manufacturer WA Sport also have a deal with Maiden to produce shirts based on every single album (https://ironmaiden.wasport.com.br/). A pain to get shipped over here because Brazil, but I think EMP stock a few of the designs as well. Have got one of the generic Maiden football shirts from a few years ago that I wear to the gym every so often...among too much other Maiden merch

Yes I've got a football shirt from the Brave New World era. Top man and never forgets his mates. On most of their world tours he pays for his old mates to fly over to play in a charity football game

both Gallaghers, Man City
