Pope John Paul II was also a Liverpool fan.He and Jerzy Dudek were close friends.He was the reason why Jerzy became a goalie,as the holy father was a goalie in his younger days.Pope John Paul was Polish,and Jerzy is a devout Catholic.
Actors Clive Owen and David Morrissey are massive LFC fans as well. I remember reading something about Clive Owen having a clause in his filming contracts to say that he can stop filming to watch Liverpool matches when on set - no idea if it's true or not.
Wait, some of them I bet don't even follow Liverpool. And how can you miss out John "Jamie Carragher" Bishop? A Liverpool fan who always mentions it on stage and is a proud scouser. True legend he is and he even does pitch-side interviews when his at the matches (Arsenal vs Liverpool, Emirates Stadium 2011) And who can remember, the H&G protest [video=youtube;GNKlzirGn0s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNKlzirGn0s[/video]
The actor who plays Dr Karl Kennedy in Neighbours is a massive Liverpool fan.He was on the LFC official site on the Celebrity KOP Club. Then theres the obvious one,such as the Boardman family,Stan,Paul and Andrea. Priscilla White aka Cilla Black,(Even though she was born in the Everton Valley to a family of Evertonians). And not forgetting Jimmy Tarbuck.
Oh, and Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher Come to think of it... Sergio Aguero (Claimed, possibly untrue?) Fernando Torres.. John Arne Riise Xabi Alonso Javier Mascherano Rafael Benitez And non-footballer, if anyone knows him Adam Woodyat... Ian off Eastenders ..
Carra was an Evertonian until he was 19,He cut off his Everton ties when he got grief from his Everton supporting mates.He's now 100% Liverpool. Stevie is a bigger Red than Phil Thompson and thats saying something,He's also explained that Everton picture in his book,as he didn't want to upset his Everton supporting Uncle.His dad however went beserk,and Liverpool and Liverpool only was drilled into him. Then again theres nothing wrong with Liverpool players being boyhood Evertonians.There is boyhood reds that play or played for Everton. Peter Reid is a Liverpool fan,Jose Baxter,Leon Osman and Tony Hibbert are all boyhood Liverpool fans.Ian Rus,Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler were boyhood Evertonians,However God swapped allegiances aged 10 after getting a chance lift in King Kenny's mercedes.
One of the things I love about Liverpool is how ex-players and legends still follow the club, not by publicy saying it but by attending matches and such, it really shows support to the players and thats why the likes of Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher along with the youngsters feel honoured to play for us. It blends with the history and tradition with Liverpool really well and thats why Liverpool isn't just a football club!
Yep, anyone seen these? [video=youtube;nRjUYI1-GoU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRjUYI1-GoU[/video] [video=youtube;JqgwO4zKKkw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqgwO4zKKkw[/video] And the introduction to 'Elvis has left the building' is pure class!
Yeah, to think of players from other clubs who leave and don't give their old clubs a second thought, even when they've scored against them! (Adebayor)
KPR A bloke I used to work with was going out with Andrea Boardman at the time. She was an aabsolute babe, but a lovely girl as well. A definite massive Red!
Torres never requested not to play us last season as part of the deal, usually thats the done thing when a club has done your career well, add that guy to the list too
