One of the most successful football clubs in English history, Leeds United has cultivated a massive fan base that includes some of the world's biggest celebrities. From actors and musicians to professional athletes, these stars have been supporting Leeds for years and showing their love for this storied team.
Each of them has gone through the highs and lows that all of us have had to experience over the last couple of decades, but their support has remained as enthusiastic as ours as everyone knows it is “All Leeds arent we?” and that we “March on Together”!
But who are some of our most famous fans? Who are those that have spent time in the Elland Road stands cheering the boys on over time? Some names will be obvious as their support has been unwavering and has been known, while others may be a little more surprising…
Sir Nick Faldo
One of the greatest British golfers of all time, Sir Nick Faldo, is one of the most famous celebrities to have a passion for the Whites. If the golfer is not hanging around his residence in Orlando or on tour playing and commentating on tournaments, it is possible he will head to Elland Road to take in a game whenever he can and cheer on the team.Colin Montgomerie
Another of British golfing royalty, Colin Montgomerie is also a Leeds fan and has been spotted attending games in recent memory. Known affectionately by many as ‘Monty’, the Scottish golfer was educated in Leeds as he attended Leeds Grammar School, which is why he became an avid supporter of the football club.Ricky Wilson
West Yorkshire-born-and-bred, Ricky Wilson is perhaps one of the most famous Leeds United supporters. The front man of the Kaiser Chiefs and an individual who is able to perform on stage dressed as a Phoenix during the most recent edition of The Masked Singer in the UK, Wilson - along with his band members - also managed to perform at the Club’s centenary celebrations that were held at Elland Road where they wowed everyone who saw it. Let’s not forget, the band’s name pays homage to club legend Lucas Radebe as he played for the South African side before joining us.
