Dana, MEP (used to go to games).

MUSIC
Phil Coulter, (former Club President)

Dana (see above :) )

RELIGION
Former Archbishop Edward Daly (well known for his role during the Troubles).

OTHERS
- David Tennant : Current Dr Who. Came to watch us whilst filming about his ancestors in Derry.
- I believe Billy Connolly has watched us play before (he has family in Derry).
- I'd love to believe that Nadine Coyle is a fan of the club :D

No doubt there's more that other City fans can fill in.

Didn't Clifford Forsyth the former UUP MP once play for Derry City. Won an IFA Cup medal in the old days if I remember correctly?

Seems there's a major infestation of hoops at the nerve centre of the nation's consciousness, despite recent foot.ie protestations (mostly aimed at disowning one individual). Do they all sit together in the RTE canteen, singing Build Me Up?

Joe Strummer

Big Dec - Rovers - Enough Said

Deromot Morgan - Rovers. He wrote a song about Rovers leaving Milltown on primetime?? With all the KRAM committee.

ASLAN - Depends on the drugs or where they are playing, - So far Pats- Rovers - Bohs as I said depending on what side of the city Christy is playing in

Damien Duff - If The Pimp Devlin tells him to show up at two dog�s having a dump he will do it, Duff couldn�t give a flying Fu*k about Irish football.

Phil Coulter - Lives in Bray , so as punishment goes to watch that shower - also suspected of owning butchers shop in Shankill shopping ctr. (Ron Eyre The Spitting Image Of Him)

Des Cahill - Whatever is the flavour of the month, see him at Rovers games in RDS and Bray, But will lick the hole off the GAA at all times.

Eamon Sweeney wrote their is only One Red Army and he knows what it is to be a LOI supporter. I gave what I considered including him now three genuine supporters for the club I supported. Reviewing this thread has lead to the conclusion some of the contributors seem to be given misleading information on their famous supporters.
