I know Jim Corr is a Dundalk fan (not a great boast), but I sat beside Stan at a game many years ago (during his Villa days). Joe Elliott used to go to LSL games back in the late-80's, I saw him watching Ballinteer Wickham back in 1989 (I can't remember the opposition but it was southside and they were playing on the pitch next to us).

Brad Pitt was at a Pats game back in 1996 or 1997 as a special guest of Mr. Dolan, he was making a movie in Kilmainham Jail.

Michael Madsen and Patrick Bergin were at a Cork-LTFC game a few years back. Big fans of the red and black to this day. Possibly.

I take it the game was on in Cork?? Would be great to meet Michael Madsen at the chip stand in Flancare though on a freezing cold night.

Yeah they were shooting a film down in Cork at the time. I think Vinnie Jones was in it as well but he wasn't in attendance.

Well count yourselves lucky you don't get to see John Delaney (worst CEO ever) at most Blues games.

Mind that spanner could produce a few wax work replica's and nobody could tell the difference.

I remember seeing the drummer from the Sultans of Ping in St Mels for a Cork City game, 15+ years ago I'd say, so not sure if he's still a fan or indeed still the drummer in the Sultans.

Don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere on here but Samuel L. Jackson is infact a Bohs fan...

Gas. I saw him in Mels too. Morty McCarthy. Think he was involved in the CCFC fanzine too at the time but open to correction. He turns up on a few Sultans vids wearing the strip too. "Give him a ball and a yard of grass" and " No more plastic pitches" were/are to choons

Ive see Martin King & Johnny Logan at matches before, wouldn't even know what Willie Walsh looks like.

Remember seeing the bold Dermo at most Bohs visits to the old Belfield, not sure about his earlier days but deffo a UCD fan in later life.

Yesterdays Evening Helard would beg to differ ! Good picture of Samuel L complete with Bohs flag on page 12 ! Pat Ingoldsby deffo a Bohs fan in the past but not sure if he still attends, Caroline Moraghan RTE presenter was a Dalymount regular as was Eamon Carr (journo of Horslips fame) and Martin King (TV 3 and TODAY FM).

Cork City - Ashley Keating from The Frank and Walters
Some of the members of Frank and Walters or Sultans of Ping were featured in a Fanzone/Terrace Talk type early evening football magazine TV programme for one of the British stations.
They filmed them at the Shoping Centre End at Dalymount Park (HoIF), (sometime between 1983 and 2006).

The same programme had a fans-talk piece, in a port-a-loo where the fan could flush their considered comments down the bog after they uttered them.
The first match they filmed used this port-a-loo at was a Crusaders -Ards game, Crusaders were going for the Legaue.
Crues forward Roddy Collins was a spectator that day too.

Programme was called 'Standing Room Only' I think. presented by a gob****e Scouser and Neil Webb's wife (possibly called something like Shellie). I reckon it was around about 1992/1993

It was defintely the Sultans of Ping drummer (oh and he was involved in the excellent Cork fanzine NMPP)

Simon O'Brien was the presenter of Standing Room Only (also was in Brookside) - around 1991.

Not a bad little programme

Yeah, was the first football programme that wasnt presented by people in their 50s and tried to play things for laughs.

Yeah I enjoyed it as well, gave a lot of air time to fanzines and the Webb one know her stuff as well

Suprised that Shamrock Rovers other Hollywood link not mentioned though she's from an earlier era - Maureen O'Hara. Per her details on wkipedia (!!!!!) father was a co-owner of the club and she has supported them since childhood.

We finally have a celeb fan.....Ryan Sheridan. If you dont know who he is you will soon. He was at the game Sat nite and has played Oxegen, Electric Picnic and Benacassim among other festivals this summer and is doing well in the charts at the mo. Go on the Ryan boy!

Is Declan Hughes, the crime fiction writer, a Shels fan? One of his books opens with his private eye protagonist Ed Loy attending a game at Tolka before some dodgy evildoer attempts to murder a player...but the setting may have as much to do with Shels' 'associations' rather than any particular fan worship. ;)

And Sean Bean's a DCFC fan - been to one game, it's enough for me.

So you could argue that it's responsible for Soccer AM, Colin Murray on MOTD, and all the other godawful "comedy" football shows that are polluting the airwaves now?

Liam Neeson played for Bohs, not sure if that makes him a fan or not

I challenge this on the basis that I never saw him pull a decent pint in a film yet.
