I always get the impression that Alan 'this is dreadful' Green doesn't actually like football

Brighton
I think Jonathan Pierce, although he lives in Brighton, is a Brizzle City fan


When I worked in Croydon and commuted, JP was on my train home a few times. He got off the train at Hassocks, so assume he lives near there. He does indeed support Bristol City. The BBC's main commentator Guy Mowbray I gather is a York City fan.

A few other ones I can think of:

Amy Lawrence - Arsenal
Mihir Bose - Tottenham
Brian Viner - Everton
Jim White (Telegraph writer, not SSN presenter) - Manchester United
Rod Liddle - Millwall
Brian Moore (Telegraph writer and former egg chaser) - Chelsea

Paul Hayward of the Guardian, late of the Telegraph when he did a wonderful piece on the match/story when we played Hereford in THAT game. 99.9% certain that he's an Albion fan.

Richard Keys - Coventry City

Andy Gray - Rangers (the Scottish variety)

Alan Brazil - Celtic

Will Greenwood - Man.City

David Lloyd - Accrington Stanley

John McCririck - Newcastle

These are all TV/Radio commentators/pundits or presenters rather than journos.

Lewes over Brighton as far as I know, but that's splitting hairs really as he's a big fan of the Albion too

Wickham Hill, Hurstpierpoint (strictly speaking Hassocks if you're going to be picky) rather than Brighton. No idea who he supports, but he likes a dog walk!
