Other Championship clubs boast acting royalty, ace comedians and sporting superstars, although one suspects some are probably only fans from afar.
9. DERBY COUNTY - ROBERT LINDSAY
Top-class actor Robert Lindsay (pictured left) is a Rams fan. He earned his big break in sictom Citizen Smith in the 1970s and is still going strong in acclaimed musical Anything Goes (cast pictured) which is exactly the club policy adopted by Derby owner Mel Morris in recent times. Former One Direction star Niall Horan is another famous Derby fan. That direction is now 'down'. (Photo by Tristan Fewings/Getty Images)
10. FULHAM - RICHARD OSMAN

11. HUDDERSFIELD TOWN - SIR PATRICK STEWART
Star Trek actor Sir Patrick Stewart (pictured) is a big fan of the Terriers. He was at Wembley Stadium in 2017 when the club won promotion to the top division for the first time since 1972, but whether or not he boldy went to lower division grounds in the bad old days is open to question.

12. HULL CITY - OMAR SHARIF
Egyptian actor (pictured) who starred in Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Zhivago was always linked with a love for Hull City. Went on to become an international Bridge player and apparently awarded an honorary degree from Hull University, something yet to be emulated by Grant McCann. (Photo/Getty Images)
