According to the British press, Prince William, also known as the Duke of Cambridge, is a man who loves sports and the guts of the prince is also the guts of the very many english footballers. Prince William has been president of the Football Association since 2006, when he was only 24 years old.

However, the lesser known is the Duke of Cambridge who loves the Aston Villa club, a club that is currently just average in the Premiership and has even nearly come down to play in the First Division. the last ball. Prince William often enjoyed visiting The Villains, such as the 2000 FA Cup semi-final between Aston Villa and Bolton. He then went to the dressing room to congratulate his favorite team as they won the penalty.

You really only just found this out?

It's very public knowledge. He's been to Villa Park loads, been on the news talking Villa loads, been wearing Villa scarves loads.... sorry mate, but I think you are the last person in England to find out. :19:
 
Vassos Alexander is a Fulham fan. I tweeted him about this a while back, and he didn't know where the Villa links had come from!
 
Vassos was a Villa fan, but living in London he found it easier to take his son to Fulham.

But yes he now considers himself a Fulham fan.
 
I’ve seen Joe Calzaghe in this list before but I highly doubt it being from South Wales with Italian heritage, I don’t see how there’s any link to Villa. Strange one in the list for me Jeff

I think he supports Cardiff. And as Merd says Juve too.

Also I can't find any Greg Davies Villa evidence.

I wouldn't argue with him though . He can support who he wants.

(What a fighter he was by the way )
 
Be very surprised if Justin Hauwood was a Villa fan. He is from Swindon, and only joined the band when the original line up broke up.

He has no links whatsoever to Birmingham,or the Villa.

As for Greg Davies, having seen all his live shows, the entire 9 series of Taskmaster and various interviews, he has made it abundantly clear he has no interest in Sport what so ever.

As for half of Duran Duran, what do you mean the two Bluenoses, the Geordie or the guy from Essex ?

Ozzie has also said he had no interest in Sport

And Calzaghe - ey ?.

In fact, most the list looks made up twaddle, and the one of the few celebrity fans that is a Villa fan is not on there....

Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy (unless that was the Duran link.
 
Calzaghe

I've supported Juve since I was nine or 10, I remember crying when they lost 1-0 to Hamburg in the European Cup," he said.
"I remember players like Rossi, Roberto Bettega, and Platini playing under Dino Zoff, so I have always been a Juve fan, including when we got relegated to Serie B.
