David Moorcroft was Honoray President (or something...) of Cov City London Supporters' Club...

Not reaaally famous, but actor Martin Marquez (been a regular in Hotel Babylon, The Bill, EastEnders etc) is a Cov fan.

bloody glory hunters

I wear a sky blue and white scarf around london like that Man City manager. Okay Man City are big now but its so great to have respect shown towards the sky bue. When people ask 'do you support City?' I answer 'of course'. They have always copied us. I even remember they had green and black second kit

Jesus, especially in 87. I did hear a rumour Mugabe and Gahdafii used to watch us on Sky. But with a name like Ghadaffi (sorry spelling) I think he's welsh so I guess Cardiff were his CCFC but defo Mugabe

Jerry Dammers worked on the Highfield Rd turnstiles when he was a student and had an interest in the City, but not major. Lynval Golding looked first for the city results and was interested. Terry Hall a glory boy Man U fan. Don't think any of the other members of the Specials were much interested in footie other than all being Cov boys.

Regarding the Enemy, only the bass player is a City fan.
The singer is from Birmingham and not overly into football, and the drummer is a Man Utd fan.
They took on the guise of all being City fans though, in order to build local support.

Christian Horner. I met him a few weeks back, and asked him whether he was a fan. Apparently his Dad used to be on the Board, so he considers CCFC his team, but he doesn’t actively follow the club.

Yep,

Goodluck Jonathan became a fan when we won the Cup in 1987, had previously never heard of us, but watching the game againsyt Tottenham on a small colour TV in Port Harcourt he became obsessed with all things Sky Blue.

In fact, when he became Governor of Bayelsa in 2005, he insisted that the residence be painted entirely in Sky Blue throughout, and commissioned a staue for the gardens of the famous image of George and John holding the cup aloft.

Since becoming Prime Minister in 2010, he has becam famous for his ant-corruption drives and efforts to make Go For It City the new National Anthem of Nigeria.

Dick Cheney though of course more famous as neo-con and architecht of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, is less well known for his passionate love of Coventry City, particularly the Don Howe era, an inspiration for the "shock and awe" tactics for the Iraq campaign.

Ingmar Bergman's most famous work The Seventh Seal, about a medievel knight playing a game of chess with the personification of Death who has come to take his life is believed to have been inspired by Coventry City keeper Alf Wood.

In becoming the oldest player to start for the club at nearly 44 years old, he saw it as a fight against mortality and the God's, but could unfortunately not see a professional footballer winning a chess game against Death, so changed the setting to the Middle Ages during the Black Death and the main character to a Knight.

A shame it would have been interesting to have seen his original vision of the film set in a grimy industrial city in the English Midlands featuring a Division Four custodian of the nets(though did still intend Max Von Sydow to play the part of Alf Woods)

Dick Cheney was a Cov fan?! That’s got to be bullshit! 😂

I’ve only seen the first few replies but surprised not many people have mentioned Christian Horner. He supposedly ‘tried’ to get Neymar to sign for us…

Another Weymouth Sky Blue. He was stood behind me in checkout queue in Lidl yesterday! Was going to ask for a selfie before I realised I am a middle aged man and that would be quite a tragic thing to do.

When we came back from Alicante a few years ago we flew on the same plane as Cov, Robins and Oggy were at the back of me so my son said cockily " do you want a photo with the gaffer" I said no so he said "why not" I said I don't want to look a nob...Oggy said "good answer"

It was more Horner name dropping the club saying he tried to get Neymar to sign, possibly before he went to Saudi and he was having issues at PSG.

We’ve also got Ayao Komatsu (Haas team principle) who supports us so at one point, 20% of F1 Team Principles supported Cov!

It's not a hugely impressive list is it? If you lined them all up in an identity parade I'd be lucky to name any of them tbh 🤣

And John of Gaunt died in the 14th century.

I was thinking that. Not exactly an attractive list. We also don’t seem to be blessed on the punditry side. Any time we get on sky they pick someone who has played for the other team.
