    Who are some famous people who are soccer fans?

    Rodney Dangerfield - (anyone know why?)

    How about Rod Stewart? His is big fan of Scotland.

    Also in that old "You're in my heart, you're in my soul" song, one line starts with "You're Celtic, United..."

    Lucifer was a big fan of soccer. Most people don't know the true story about how God and Lucifer go into an arguement during a soccer game a never spoke again.

    Is Dangerfield a fan because of that Ladybugs movie he did where he coached a girls soccer team and put a boy in drag to be the ringer? I never saw the movie--too disturbing conceptually. (Can you imagine Dangerfield and Jackee as your coaches in a youth league?)

    I don't think there's anything terribly remarkable about foreigners being soccer fans. It would kind of be like listing famous Americans who like baseball.

    That kid was Jonathan Landis. He commited suicide a few weeks ago. I think he was about 25.

    Carter Beauford, the drummer from the Dave Matthews Band, is a fan as well.
    There are a few photos of him drumming in jerseys from Brasil, Metros, and some others.

    I think Magic Johnson became a fan after he watched a Real Madrid game.

    How can you forget perhaps the biggest celebrity soccer fan born here in the United States, and that's DREW CAREY, I mean, the guy professes his love for the game on the MLS Cup broadcast, and is also going to be a season ticket holder, and now will also seemingly have to switch to rooting for the new Cleveland team that is coming, or should I say, should be coming to MLS.

    No shlt???

    Then Dre should slam out a cut giving Liverpool some shout outs. Like spitting mad props to his road dog Michael Owen, Milan Baros, Harry Kewell.

    Hell, they can even guest for him and flow some freestyles with him.

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Kevin costner(who would have thought Mr. baseball would be a "soccer" fan) and that spastic British(forgot which country she's from) chick from Breaking the Waves are both self professed Arsenal fans.

    That hottie from the Pirate movie who looks like Natalie Portman is a West Ham fan.

    and I'm assuming Antonio Banderas is a Malaga supporter seeing as he's from there and is said to have installed a football pitch in the backyard of his estate.

    Actually I thought that I heard somewhere that he's been a soccer fan for a long time. I don't think its just because he did that movie.

    Oh, and I did see that movie...and yes...it is disturbing! ;)

    Agreed. The thread title should have "famous americans" in it.
