Bowie lived in Sundridge Park during his teens before moving to Beckenham. Stayed there for quite a few years too.

There’s also this. See the section on “Some Are”

Would Bowie have mentioned Crystal Palace if he wasn’t a fan? Or had he just found an old ticket thrown away on the pavement and referred to that?

Luke Harvey is, former jockey who presents the racing on itv.

 

[Palace Old Geezer]

I thought this thread was about Weller, but as it's now extended to other celebrity supporters, I want to know whether there's been any word from Bill Nighy, my favourite Palace celeb fan.

An arsenal mate of mine had a box at Wembley for a cup final years ago and said mick jagger was there supporting arsenal , so not a palace fan

I would guess Paul Weller is either Walton & Hersham or Arsenal or possibly both.
I had extended family in Addlestone and they were all Arsenal.

Surely Woking? I used to go & watch W&H when they played at Stompond Lane with my Dad

Yes - of course. I got him mixed up with the bloke from Sham 69.
The Arsenal angle I think might still be right.

 

[TheGreatGorbo]

Yep Timothy is and his son Raph , saw him and the cast from trying in my local pub working at Shepperton studios , didn’t realise who he was until a few days later said Eric the Ninja got them into supporting us

Ĥe is definitely (unfortunately) a Chelsea fan, he has mentioned it on various interviews and there is a big Chelsea flag at Black Barn. I am somewhat of a Weller fan and as such Happy Birthday Sir Weller of Woking

Spall senior lives near Honor Oak Park station. Handy for train to Askes in New Cross where son went to school

 

[Wolfhound]

Weller is a lifelong Chelsea fan

Yes I think anyone of a certain vintage coming from Northern Ireland swung towards Man U because of Georgie Best

And because it is considered a statement of political neutrality (like the brother in law)
