Celebrity Fans

[Carheenlea]

Surprised Cicero and Kenny Richey never made the list, but then again it is a a list packed with proper A Listers.

How to lose any street cred you may have in about 3 seconds.

'I'm actually a Hearts fan, you know the famous'.

Wee Ronnie Corbett, if you include the dead ones.

Then they'll no doubt moan we're copying them and they were the first and hugest team to ever have celebrity fans.

[Roxyhibee]

Well although he was a few years older than me, Alan Wells stayed at the bottom of my street and was in my BBs and I have no recollection of him being a Hearts supporter or even having the slightest interest in football at all. You knew all the guys in your area back then and you definitely knew if they were supporters and of which team. Someone probably took him along a handful of times or something and that’s enough for the desperate Gorgie morons to claim him as one of theirs.

[donno]

EEN struggling for stories, it'll be the Hibs ones tomorrow.To be fair, we both have crap celebrity fans.
It's not like Ryan Reynolds bought the club, and comes to the games.

I mean we have Iain Stirling for a start and I have no even started yet 😀

I wonder if this the type of article the journalist had in mind when he was a fresh faced youngster studying hard to get to the top of his profession? FFS ....... hahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Surely Ferdinand Foch and Douglas Haig should be there. If not for them, we'd be speaking the Kaiser's German.


As an aside, Grant Hutchison yes, but Scott told me he didn't give a **** about football.

[SHODAN]

Do I count as a famous fan? My Twitch streams usually get over five viewers.

I worked beside Alan wells back in early seventies and he was definitely a jambo but he probably didn’t go due to being into athletics.

Rather bizarre that a list of famous Hibs fans has Lloyd Quinnan (an ex STV weather presenter.........) on it, and doesnt have Ian Blackford, leader of the SNP at Westminster there.

Never used to like Ian Blackford used to think he was an annoying little toad but now I know he is a Hibby great guy and really funny with it :greengrin

If he's ever doing a TV interview from the house there tends to be some Hibs items in the background of the shot.

It’s a good laugh, but seeing as Logan Roy is from Dundee there was a better visual joke to be had there, given the proximity of the two clubs.

[JimBHibees]

Yes I know I have seen it before. Brian Cox seemed to be quoted as saying he didn't really support a team but his cousin I think Bobby Cox played for Dundee. So many double entendres with that name :greengrin

Good shout. Also, later on Roman and Stuart turn up at what was meant to be hertz training but no maroon anywhere, black/ dark blue gear being worn, dark blue for Dundee?

As another poster pointed out better laugh if it was Dundee/Dundee United as they are only a street length apart

The Americans probably wouldn’t get it though

Wee Boaby Cox spent his entire pro career at Dundee and was a central part of their greatest ever side in the early sixties.

Managed by the great Bob Shankly,Boaby Cox along with team mates like Bobby Seith and Bobby Wishart, was part of a team full of exceptional ball players................................

......And Gordon Smith :greengrin

Edit:
Lol
Bobby Cox ran a pub in Dundee called "The Sliding Tackle!:greengrin
And of course a big stand at Dens bares(sic) his name.


Seriously. as usual back then when SFA "picked" the national team, Bobby, like many others who did not play in Glasgow got ignored.He deserved to represent his Country.

I believe the Scottish/Edinburgh guy who's on the show this year is a grandson of a former Hibs player - he might be a Hibs fan...

Yes, that is the sound of the barrel being scraped you can hear.

Aye !
Reminds of the feature film of the tv comedy Porridge.

Football match
Cons V Various TV Celebrities
As the celebs came off the coach someone asked Fulton Mackay which one was the Goodie (they didn't show)
Also spotted was the guy who read the weather forecast on BBC Radio Anglia.

PS
Watching Fulton Mackay reffing the game in the film reminded me of our own referees qualities and sense of fair play.

I'm sure Elton John's guitarist Davey Johnstone is a Hibby. Sure I read he's an Edinburgh boy.

No but before he was ‘Celtc daft’ he was pictured in a Hun strip a couple of times. At least once was when playing in a charity match. This was when he was still a big Scotland fan, before abandoning them for Celtc as it got him more publicity.

[Northernhibee]

Just asked him on twitter and the comedian Mark Watson is now a Hibby :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Not an expert on RS but is there not a line from one of his songs from 70s ( so probably about time Scotland started run of qualifying for WCs ) " you`re my Celtic , United " . Celtic fan for a long time . Maybe like many since 1967 .

Off topic slightly but I'm always surprised at the number of people down south who have Hibs as their Scottish team. Actually surprised is the wrong word we're cool as ****.

[IberianHibernian]

Off topic slightly but I'm always surprised at the number of people down south who have Hibs as their Scottish team. Actually surprised is the wrong word we're cool as ****.I worked in various places in England in 1980s and 90s and Hibs were always popular with football fans but mainly for Irish name and history . Beyond UK , results in European competitions bring recognition though less so now with so many clubs playing in competitions . When we were playing Juventus or Sporting Lisbon in 1970s there were less than a 100 clubs in European competitions , now there seem to be hundreds and most are unknown for most fans in other countries . Outside Scotland , I`ve found very few folk know Hearts for example and if they know them it`s for something funny like Romanov era or in England for results ( I was in a pub in England on night they were drubbed at home by Spurs and I remember locals laughing about them ) .

Your in my heart is the song.

Hibs do appear to have a fair share of celebrity fans. Another is the bassist of the Aussie band Five Seconds of Summer, Callum Hood. In one of their videos he appears in a Hibs top. I believe his dad is a Hibby from Edinburgh.
