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?

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.

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
