Celebrity Evertonians

They may have fame and fortune but there is a select band of celebrities who are as badly off as we are when it comes to football. Below is a list of people in the public eye who are either known to or are believed to follow Everton. 

Some of the following are tenuous, others disputable.  Please feel free to write in and challenge a listing or suggest others.  Remember, sports broadcasters are notorious for hiding their true allegiances; what someone heard them say in a bar one night may not necessarily be true! 

There is obviously a grey area to this feature and we haven't listed famous ex-players and managers who haven't gone on to post-football careers in the public eye, nor are we listing current or former Everton players, even if they are known Blues like Tom Davies, unless they remain in the public eye and are vocal in their support of the club.

Unsubstantiated Connections

• Arthur Askey
  Liverpool-born comedian who many believe is a Chelsea fan but may well have been an Evertonian who watched the London blues because of the colour of their strip
• Justin Bieber
  The teen pop sensation raised eyebrows when pictured playing in Everton's third kit on Robert Earl's island in the Turks and Caicos in January 2015 but he's been snapped in Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona gear before.
• Helena Bonham-Carter
  Actress (Planet of the Apes, Fight Club, numerous period dramas)
• Neil Buchanan
  Aintree-born Art Attack presenter who, we're told, is a Red
• Robert Carlyle
  The Scottish actor rose to fame in Cracker playing a Red-loving nutter and repeated the feat in the film, 51st State, but rumour has it that Everton are the English team for this Rangers fan (or is it Celtic?!).

• Frank Carson
  Irish comedian who we're told could have been more into Arsenal
• Helena Christiansen
  Apparently the Super Model's Blue credentials were in The Echo, but along with Bonham-Carter, could be made up
• David Coleman
  BBC presenter and MotD commentator for many years, when presenting Grandstand on FA Cup day in February 1966 that "his team" Everton had just beaten Bedford Town away 3-0.
• Dickie Davies
  Badger-haired Sports TV presenter
• Les Dennis
  Family Fortunes host who we're told is a Red, though his ex, Amanda Holden is a Blue
• Nate Dogg
  A reader writes: "In a recent magazine interview, Nate Dogg said when asked Liverpool or Everton: 'Everton. I actually saw them play when I was a little boy; they are my team.'"
• Andy Gray
  If he could have two favourite teams, Sky's loud-mouthed summariser would choose Everton and Aston Villa, but his real soft spot does appear to be for Villa, although he increasingly says "we" when referring to Everton these days.
• Sam Kelly
  aka Warren in Porridge
• Jay-Z
  A reader writes: "The rapper loves the colour blue and this was shown when he joined in the chants at a recent Charlton game when he was over here last."
• Ken Jones
  aka Ives of Porridge and The Golden Vision
• John McEnroe
  There is more than one photo of the tennis legend in an Everton shirt from an event at Calderstones a few years ago but it's not clear whether his solidarity with compatriot Tim Howard extends to him being an actual fan of the club.
• Gerry Marsden
  Of "Ferry cross the Mersey" fame who, like Cilla Black, apparently started out Blue but was enticed to the Dark Side.
• Shane McGowan
  A reader writes of The Pogues's lead singer: "I recently saw the Pogues play in Manchester and Shane McGowan announced his utter dissapointment at Man United's win over Everton and branded Rooney as a traitor."
• Nas
  The New York rapper was pictured in 2014 with an Everton shirt in the wake of Tim Howard's heroics in goal at that year's World Cup. It's not clear whether his allegiance to the Blues has been a lasting one, however.
• Brian Nash
  Guitarist with Frankie Goes To Hollywood; the only 'Bluenose' in the band we thought, but his cousin writes to tell us that he's a Red.
• Stephen Norris
  Conservative MP, Mayor of London candidate. Evertonian by birth, he is now a Fulham season ticket holder.
• Tom O'Connor
  We've had e-mails insisting he's devout a red and yet more attesting to his Blue leanings:
  1) His Everton memorabilia was on Through the Keyhole recently
  2) "A couple of years ago I met him at the match of the day exhibition. As I was walking out he came over to talk to me because I was wearing my Everton shirt. He said whilst giving the talk he had spotted me on the front row because of the shirt and wanted to talk to me. He also asked if I had seen a stand that was selling Everton shirts, so he could buy one. I had my photo taken with him and then, later on, I saw him again he said (holding up a an everton shirt), 'got one,' smiled and walked off." - Andy
  3) I challenge the fact that Tom O'Connor is a Blue. He was my teacher in a distant past and wore a Red badge in his lapel. Always!
  4) He is definitley a Blue, he said so in a column in last Saturday's Echo 01/10/05. I was suprised as I thought he followed the team from the crypt.
• Michael Owen
  Along with Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Jamie Carragher and Ian Rush. All boyhood Blues who were lured to the Dark Side, so it's hard to say whether any of them can be regarded as Evertonians now.
• Matthew Perry
  Could Chandler Bing be a Blue? Surely a wind-up!
• The Queen Mother
  This has neither been proved nor disproved but there is a persistent connection between Everton and the Queen Mum, probably due to vivid memories of that handsome devil Dixie Dean in the 1933 FA Cup Final and Everton's towering status being on everyone's lips back when the old girl was in her heyday.
• Mark P Sadler
  Novelist: Blood On His Hands.
• Robbie Savage
  Lairy ex-Birmingham City midfielder turned BBC pundit
• Slick Rick
  London-born Brit musician. It was claimed during his childhood that his favourites were Andy Gray and Paul Bracewell but he'd have been 20 in 1985. Jury still out on this one...
• Ian Thorpe
  According to Blue Kipper, the Australian Olympic swimming hero is a lifelong Blue. A reader insists he supports Spurs.
• Mike Tyson
  Took a liking to Thomas "Mad Dog" Gravesen after seeing him play. Whether that means he now follows the Blues is another matter.
• Venus Williams
  The tennis star fell in love with Wayne Rooney during Euro 2004 and said that she would probably support whichever team he played for. At the time that was Everton but...
• Sir Norman Wisdom
  Comic genius of another generation was a lifelong Brighton & Hove Albion supporter and a member of their Board. Did he have a soft spot for the Blues?
• Sir Clive Woodward
  England Rugby chief. Is he Everton Blue or Chelsea blue? We've had adamant proclamations both ways.

Ridiculous Assertions?

• Adolf Hitler
  "Rumoured to have lived in Dingle in the early twenties, was supposed to be that fond of the Blues that he watched them regularly and was a big fan of the dangerous 'Dixie Dean', who inspired early thoughts of aerial bombardment.  Also the Observer / Independent wrote a ditty on Everton a few years ago regarding Hitler, saying "the most hated man in the world followed the Blues."  Well, let's hope his penchant for red had him leaning the other way!
• Colonel Gadaffi
  If you believe a persistent and surely ridiculous story, the controversial Libyan leader had a thing for Everton.  Rumour had it that after the Blues played there under Gordon Lee in the late 70s, the Colonel was impressed enough to change the Libyan national strip from green to Royal Blue!  But his son's recent enquiries about Liverpool show that the family tradition does not extend to Tripoli.
• John F Kennedy & Family
  A reader writes: "Due to their Irish ancestry. Tommy Eggo was a great favourite with some of their elders."
• The Sultan of Brunei
  No one is sure where the laughable story that the world's then second-richest man wanted to buy a stake in our beloved Blues came from, but it certainly wasn't true. Ironically, though, ex-Blue Mike Lyons became the coach of the Sultan's team in Brunei in 2002, so you never know what Mick might whisper into his "shell-like".

Rejected Connections

• Sharlene Spiteri
