He was at Bohs - rovers last alright, but he's one of these, "if I was to support anyone it would be them"

Are you trying to get him sacked from RTE or something?

He'll have to cover 20 GAA matches now as his punishment. :D

Mark Durkin, MP, SDLP Leader (occassional fan).
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?
