barack obama

The former President of the United States, Barack Obama is surprisingly a West ham United fan. During the Presidency race in 2008, an advisor accidentally let it slip that Obama had followed the Hammers ever since making a visit to Kent to see his half-sister Auma in 2002.

Speaking about his love for sports, his campaign team had revealed that:

“Obama is a big sports nut and loves his soccer.

“He never really followed it, though, until he was told all about the passion of West Ham fans by some of his English relatives. He’s always keen to find out how his adopted club are getting on.”

Other famous West Ham fans include Matt Damon and Russel Brand. With the Hammers not upto the mark this season, the former President of the United states will be hoping that Bilic and his men finish the Premier League season strongly.
