In the current day age, Manchester City have cemented themselves as perennial contenders for the English and European thrones. So due to their prestigious status, they have attracted a large number of supporters from all over the world.
But even prior to the acquisition of the Abu Dhabi United Group, the Cityzens already had a dedicated fanbase that includes an impressive number of all celebrities from various facets.
So who are the most famous Man City supporters?
Let’s find out.
Manchester City Celebrity Fans
Manchester City have a long list of celebrity fans, including Noel and Liam Gallagher, Timothy Dalton, Ricky Hatton and Martin Lewis. These men are all die-hard supporters who have been mad about the Sky Blues for decades.
Nevertheless, there are several other famous persons who are self-proclaimed City fans, even if the extent of their passion and dedication remains uncertain. This includes the likes of comedian Kevin Hart, rapper Ice Cube and even Hollywood legend Jackie Chan. But these cases might fall in the category of publicity stunts.
Most Famous Man City Fans
As we mentioned above, Man City’s recent success has attracted a wave of new supporters, including famous persons who rallied to the club’s cause after cementing itself as one of the richest teams on the planet.
But in this part, we’ll focus on five longtime Man City supporters who have proven their loyalty to the cause through thick and thin, long before their frenzy spending sprees.
Noel and Liam Gallagher
Sadly, Noel Gallagher has been at odds with his brother Liam for several years, with the brotherly rift putting an end to the legendary English rock band Oasis. Yet, the two siblings can still agree on their undying passion for Man City.
The two brothers are lifelong Cityzens, with Noel’s 1995 hit “Wonderwall” being one of the most popular songs at the Etihad Stadium.
Timothy Dalton
Timothy Dalton is a British actor best known for portraying one of the most iconic characters in cinema history, a certain secret service agent who goes by the name of “James Bond”.
The great actor is an avid Man City supporter for decades, and not even his Hollywood commitments can prevent him from keeping an eye on his beloved club.
Ricky Hatton
Ricky Hatton is one of most decorated boxers on the British scene, winning a host of belts throughout his storied career. He also fought the biggest names in the sport, including Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
The former WBA welterweight has a unbreakable bond with Man City, with both his father and grandfather having represented the club. Moreover, he adopted the club’s song “Blue Moon” as his pre-fight entrance music.
Martin Lewis
Martin Lewis is a financial journalist and columnist who became renowned for his website moneysavingexpert.com. The broadcaster was born and raised in Manchester, and has always been a City supporter – since the time when they still had to save money.
Who is the Most Famous Man City Fan?
The most famous Man City fans have to be the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam. The two siblings gained great fame and success after forming the legendary rock band “Oasis”, and their great hit “Wonderwall” is now associated with the club.
Noel and Liam might not be on good terms nowadays, but their deep passion for the Sky Blues remains a common ground. Perhaps they’ll decide to put their differences aside and reunite for a special concert if Man City ever manage to clinch the Champions League… or maybe it’s just wishful thinking.
