I'll bet none of you can top that!

Well Oliver Plunkett has been known to head to United Park occasionally.

No he's not. He's a Leeds fan, I think. If he were an eL fan, it'd be Monaghan United (his home county team). Unless his days in 'Rock have gotten to him...

Jimmy Magee lives in Kilmacud and is a regular at Belfield Park.

Damien Duff's agent is Pat Devlin, which probably explains why he's at so many Bray games. He was at UCD games on occasion to watch Robbie Doyle, one of his best mates from his time at Blackburn, and presumably watched him at Bohs, Bray, Pat's, etc.

Does he use his neck to blag his way in or does he pay?

Ah no he pays, he's not renowned for having a hard neck

Yeah,

He lives out Bray way

We love fans who organise fundraising ventures which cost the club money!

Coulter is just above Felix on the disliked list round the Brandywell.

Not another team claiming Jesus.

He's Hoop though. Like Dermot Morgan who also attended Milltown on a regular basis and moved to Belfield for his live football fix.

Fintan - You should get someone to outline the basics of company law to you. Maybe Finian McGrath could ask the Minister of Finance to explain it to you.

Mother Teresa's more of a GAA person, for your information.

Robert de Niro is a Wexford Youths fan and has been to every home and away game for 17 and a half seasons

From Ardal O'Hanlon's wikipedia page:
"He is a massive football fan, and is a proud supporter of the 2006 European champions F.C. Barcelona, as well as English side Leeds United and Scottish champions Celtic FC as well as the Irish national side."

**Soper** · 16/03/2007, 6:36 PM

What a hussy

That's the sort of thing a five year old says when you ask them what team they support. No suprise though from the man who brought us My Hero

The guy who won the box is a big dundalk fan .

**R�iteoir** · 16/03/2007, 11:59 PM

Con Murphy is a Shamrock Rovers fan - and used to operate the PA at the RDS many years ago

Willie Walsh (CEO of British Airways) is a Bohs fan

Premiership referee Dermot Gallagher is also a Shamrock Rovers fan

**dcfcsteve** · 18/03/2007, 4:54 PM

This thread comes up like clock-workevery 6mths or so now, and always seems to descend to hear-say (no - not the banned) and the usual 'so-and-so was once seen at our ground or is from our town, so therefore must be a supporter of Team X....'

Besides - we all know there's only 2 types of famous football fans in the world anyway. Those who support Derry City, and those who wish they did......

I'll ask Magee next time I'm talking to him so. Helping out at the KRAM stuff doesn't make you a hoop necessarily. CTID here had Morgan lined up for a regular programme piece shortly before he died, I think. Would have loved to see what he thought of the fanzine!
