Top 10 celebrity football fans (2021)

#6 Rihanna

Rihanna at the NBA All-Star Game 2015

Rihanna is usually known for her exploits in the music industry, with 250 million records sold worldwide. She is evidently one of the best-selling music artists of all-time. The nine-time Grammy Award winner is a big sports buff and among the many sports she likes, football is among the favorites.

The Barbados-born singer made waves on Twitter for her enticing commentary on the 2014 World Cup and has been to many stadiums around Europe. Her allegiance to one such particular club hasn't been declared because she often wears different outfits in support of various clubs.

She was spotted at the Emirates for Arsenal's game and after the match was even pictured with Mesut Ozil. Back in 2015, she was present at the Parc de Princes, the home of PSG, for their clash with Olympique Marseille. Fashion sensations Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid were also spotted alongside Rihanna.

Everyone thought then that PSG was the team that the "Love on the Brain" singer supported. But she shocked everyone by visiting Juventus at Allianz Arena for their Champions League game against Atletico Madrid. The singer was also gifted the Old Lady's black and white jersey with Riri printed on the back.

#5 Usain Bolt

Athletics - Olympics: Day 9

The world's fastest man fell in love with Manchester United after being impressed by Ruud van Nistlerooy, one of the most sorted strikers in the Premier League. If you book your tickets for one-fourth of United's games in a calendar year at Old Trafford, there is a chance you might run into him. He's that much of a supporter.

The legendary sprinter was also a special guest in one of the most important games in Manchester United's recent history, the 2011 Champions League final. However, the Red Devils ended up as 3-1 losers to an emphatic Barcelona side.

In his own saucey style, Bolt spoke of his football skills. He said if he were to play the game someday, he would at least be at Wayne Rooney's level. 'Lightning Bolt,' as he is nicknamed, was never meant to do the easy things, you see.

While promoting events at the Dubai Expo, he spoke on the club's current situation:

“Cristiano [Ronaldo] has saved us every game. One guy has to do all that work. We have not played good football in so long. It is so relaxed. We pass so slowly. When Alex Ferguson was manager, we had to win because he would demand you win.”

Bolt was of the belief that Antonio Conte would be the ideal candidate to takeover the Red Devils. But Ralf Rangnick was then announced as the interim boss.

#4 Jeremy Clarkson

Chelsea v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Round of 16

Few are unaware of the motoring genius and enthusiasm of Jeremy Clarkson. His latest contribution to television comes as the host of 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' However, his contribution from the stands to Chelsea FC is as valuable as his input on previous shows like Top Gear and The Grand Tour.

As a supporter, Clarkson is always ready to lose his voice while supporting the Blues at Stamford Bridge. He is sometimes seen even catching the action on away days. Back in 2015, he exchanged some unpleasant remarks with another celebrity supporter who isn't the most popular figure in Britain, Piers Morgan.

Morgan has been a true Arsenal follower. The two television personalities were involved in a rude exchange at the Emirates Stadium in a Chelsea vs Arsenal tie. Clarkson writes columns for the Sunday Times and The Sun. He had also written about his trip to Portugal for the all-English Champions League final in 2021.

After Chelsea lifted the Champions League trophy by defeating Manchester City, Clarkson celebrated on the streets of Porto and was caught shouting, "Fuc***g Mancs."
