What famous fans do we have?

LS Lowry.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

I've played a lot of cricket with Freddie since we were kids at Lancs. He never showed the slightest interest in City (or football for that matter) when we were kids but then Dexter Fitton who was a big Blue on Lancs books until the early 90s got Freddie interested. He's a City sympathiser and I remember him talking about PNE when he was younger so the above poster is probably spot on.

Sat next to Phil Defretas and Clive Loyd in the main stand at Maine Rd back in the day, mind you also set next to Gordon Strachan and his lad.

I’m a bit of a big thing in Canada.

Daffy was definitely a blue, met him a couple of times, no idea about The Cat though would love it to be true

Mike Pickering - M People

I used to sit the row behind him at Maine Road and when we switched grounds.

Steve penk ex dj at piccadilly radio , does anyone remember on the match commentary in the eighties everytime a goal was scored they would say ITS A GOAL and go straight to the ground , also he went on to do a few tv programmes of his own .

My god I used to love that on a Saturday afternoon when I was a kid. Music was playing then suddenly you’d get ‘it’s a goal’ or ‘oh noooo’, which 9 times out of 10 was us conceding.

Plus I'm sure Freddie in his biography says he's a blue but I may be wrong. I know he's from Preston.

Yeh my cousin used to go drinking with him in the 90s and he said he was a blue.

We're starting to get a few international celebrity fans. I don't know remember most of them by name, but I've seen quite a few US sport stars have City supporting tweets.

I remember these baseballers being at Anfield

Noah Syndergaard and Robert Gsellman cheered on Manchester City in personalized jerseys

Here's a couple that are off the wiki:


Although he might just be wearing City gear in the same way some of us may have worn a Real Madrid shirt when we were younger.

I heard him on Talksport one night and he said he followed Brentford. Are we talking about the same fella (YES)

A passionate football fan, Wakeman has supported Brentford F.C. since he was a child, and later on he also became a director of the West London club.

It was his lad who is a blue and his manager (used to post in here, his manager that is).

Wakeman used to sit in G block (side) in the Main Stand at Maine Rd.

In our poorer days you could see him all round the ground with actual empty seats all round him and his big blonde hair.
