Oscar de la Hoya (Houston Dynamo)
De la Hoya owns 25% of the MLS franchise through his company Golden Boy Promotions. De La Hoya has been seen wearing Dynamo colors on his boxing uniform with a small Houston Dynamo logo on his right leg in a fight against boxer Steve Forbes. He has also pledged to help find Dynamo a soccer-specific stadium, though he has been too busy with training to participate significantly in Dynamo decision-making.
Oona Chaplin (Arsenal)
If the Game of Thrones star were a football team she would be Arsenal, which would be entirely fitting, because she claims to support Arsenal, as does her mother, the actress Geraldine Chaplin, and as did her grandfather, the one and only Charlie Chaplin.
Justin Henin(Anderlecht)
Tennis player Justine Henin while playing in the final of the 2010 Australian Open was quite upset … because of the loss of Anderlecht in the Cup. Henin, a loyal fan, could not understand how Anderlecht managed to get beaten by Cercle.
Arnold Schwarzenegger (Sturm Graz)
The stadium Graz play their home games in was named after bodybuilder, actor and governor of the U.S. state of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was born near Graz.
Adele (Tottenham Hotspurs)
In 2011, Adele described David Beckham’s proposed move to Tottentham Hotspur as “exciting”. Adele, a life-long Tottenham fan, told The Sun she recently bumped into the team at a hotel in Liverpool.”I was so excited. I am a real Spurs fan and let me tell you, this Beckham business is exciting,” she had said.
Emma Watson (Chelsea)

Sebastian Vettel (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Earlier this year, Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel backed Eintracht Frankfurt to finish fourth in the Bundesliga.Vettel also explained how he became a Frankfurt supporter. “It started because they’re close to my home,” said the 25-year-old. “Eintracht Frankfurt are the only Bundesliga club in [the state of] Hessen. That aside, they’ve been the most successful team in the region for years. Of course 1899 Hoffenheim are around now too, but Frankfurt were always the go-to club if you wanted to watch a Bundesliga match. That’s how the connection with Eintracht started. Over the last few years I’ve got more and more interested in the Bundesliga, which is why I know my team a bit better.”
Michael Jackson (Liverpool)
Do you wanna be starting something? The King of Pop arrived at St James Park in a blaze of publicity in 2002 to lecture the locals about world peace and harmony. He did it as a favour for Uri Geller, his spoonbending friend and former Exeter chairman. Exeter were relegated out of the Football League the following season. Jackson has not been back since.
Sean Bean (Sheffield United)
Professional Northerner and former Sheffield United director is the one who is always banging on about how much he loves the Blades. He fell out spectacularly with Neil Warnock, the former United manager, last year. “At a board meeting, he made a big show of how he wanted to make an important point,” Warnock said. “We all waited expectantly and then he said that we should get rid of Captain Blade. That was it. That was all he wanted to talk about the team mascot.The fluffy thing on the touchline. Captain F**king Blade. That was the extent of his contribution.
Adolf Hitler (Schalke 04)
Hitler may have bombed Old Trafford, but he wasn’t a Manchester City fan either. The Fuhrer however had a soft spot for Schalke, who, funnily enough, were German champions six times between 1933 and 1945. “Winning a match,” Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda chief, wrote, “is of more importance to the people than the capture of a town in the East.’” He obviously never went to a Norwich-Millwall game.
