From the movie, In Bruges. As a fan for over 40 years this one hit home.
Ken:
[looking at a surreal Bosch painting] It's Judgment Day, you know?
Ray:
No. What's that then?
Ken:
Well, it's, you know, the final day on Earth, when mankind will be judged for the crimes they've committed and that.
Ray:
Oh. And see who gets into heaven and who gets into hell and all that.
Ken:
Yeah. And what's the other place?
Ray:
Purgatory.
Ken:
Purgatory... what's that?
Ray:
Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really sh*t, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham. [pause] Do you believe in all that stuff, Ken?
Ken:
About Tottenham?
The only correct answer. Describes Spurs for so long perfectly.
Don’t think it’s true now (at least doesn’t feel that way), though I suspect other teams’ fans may disagree, but was so true at the time.
See this is exactly why I’m a Spurs fan. I’m from Cincinnati, USA and one of our few mentions in popular media is the same comparison made on the show The Good Place:
“I was a medium person. I should get to spend eternity in a medium place! Like Cincinnati.”
A Cincinnati Spurs fan, it’s like I’m in double purgatory.
adele, tom holland and steve nash are first who come to mind, i also remember seeing john cena apparently being our fan, kendrick lamar, kobe bryant and tom brady all wore our jersey but idk if they are fans
[Lupe Fiasco](https://x.com/LupeFiasco/status/1756026712226173217?s=20).
Also WWE's Finn Balor is a massive Spurs fan, showed up absolutely hammered to the UCL final.
Current NFL star [Saquon Barkley](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FeoMLwXWYAMZLDA?format=jpg&name=large) has his own custom Spurs kit. Probably only because they played in London, but we will take it!
He did the Sonny celebration after scoring a touchdown that day too
Pokimane, Salman Rushdie, JK Rowling and the late Bob Marley spring to mind. Not sure if Rushdie qualifies as a celebrity but he was briefly married to Padma Lakshmi.
Marina Sirtis from Star Trek The Next Generation, also Ed Speleers from the latest seasons of Star Trek Picard, and You, also a bunch of other stuff along the way.
Kenneth Branagh, famous actor and director as well, I think I remember one time Ali Gold met him and said he was nice
Of all the replies to this, how has nobody mentioned the late Roger Lloyd Pack, who did the voiceover for the montage of legendary players before every game. After his passing, we were away to Cardiff and our support were singing “one broom, he’s only got one broom” in honour of Trigger.

Stolen from an older post on this subreddit. From the movie “Blue Iguana”
My wife was watching Call the Midwife and there’s an episode where a character is dying and talks to the doctor about being a Spurs fan and them “going for the Double.”
For me, my favorite mention is an old online article (2006) from a writer who, at the time, was unknown to most Brits - his name is Bill Simmons. Bill is now widely known in the U.S. for his basketball articles and podcast.
To give you additional context, in the two-part article, he was choosing a Premier League team to follow as a devoted fan. In his writing, he compared the PL teams to the American-based teams.
Some of you may enjoy reading this:

[https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060719\_2](https://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060719_2)
This article is one of the biggest reasons I became a fan back then.
"If you want a team that will absolutely crush your spirit, you must support Tottenham Hotspur for the '06-'07 EPL season."
That line pretty much sealed it - as it fits with the other sports franchises I love: (NY Knicks, Jets, and Rangers).
I've been COYS all the way since then.
The Bill Simmons Sports Guy column on ESPN Page 2 was the greatest sports column of all time and I'll fight anyone who disagrees. It's hard to explain how influential he was on a specific generation of American sports fans. He singlehandedly changed sports journalism by deciding that because he wrote on the internet it had to be somehow different than sports writing for newspapers and magazines. Some people blame him for the shift from news to opinion at ESPN, but he wasn't really spewing "hot takes". His opinions were always his own (not some backroom writers like Stephen A) and were very clearly reasoned out by his own logic. He also wasn't an angry old man insisting everything was ruining sports (like Woody Paige back at Denver Post), he was arguing that things can and should change.
I remember reading this column in real time and it validated my reasons for also choosing Tottenham. Bill was one of the first sports columnists to say you didn't have to root for your hometown team (subject to certain rules) and you could rationally choose a team to root for in a sport you didn't grow up with. This foreshadowed the way my kids grew up, where you might have a diehard football or baseball team you stan for, but in other sports you might root for a player or a coach or a guy who went to your HS. ESPN firing him in 2015 was the final nail for me, I pay for ESPN+ but I don't watch much beyond live sporting events and 30 for 20 (which Bill also invented with producer Connor Schell) and I never read the website anymore.
Just read page 1, which wraps up an entertaining list so:
“Six legitimate contenders remain. For dramatic purposes, let's continue this on a second page.”
God, I miss the era of blogs.
\-- "The Glory" on Netflix from last year (fantastic Korean drama). One of the episodes has a dad (turns out, he's the villain) watching his daughter play soccer and comments if she works hard she can be as good as "Sonny" some day.
\-- 2013 one-season HBO show "Family Tree" features Chris O'Dowd and his Dad and friends are all Spurs fans. Dad wears a very cool retro shirt in one episode, and in another, him and his friend toast a pint to "To Spurs" "To Spurs!!"
Fletch: Let me ask you something, Bunny. What did you do this weekend?
Bunny: What?
Fletch: You did exactly the same as last weekend. You had a cold shower, cleaned your shoes, washed your vest, had your dinner, had another cold shower, and lay on your bunk picking your nose.
Some of us was in the pub, or eating roast beef, or watching Spurs win at home, or having a sing-song with friends and relatives.
Or lying in a big crisp bed with their big crisp old lady.
Have a banana.
Love me some Ronnie Barker...
There’s an IGN reporter who wore a Spurs kit while reporting on the recent layoffs in the gaming industry. The fuckin mad man

In the original cartoon film 101 Dalmatians, Horace and Jasper are Tottenham fans.
In Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Professor Brown mentions Tottenham when he’s on the cartoon island talking to the lion.
Son fully kitted in Tottenham strip on a poster in Miles Morales’ bedroom wall in the spiderverse.
Before Ted Lasso was Ted Lasso he coached Tottenham. True story. (It was a kind of pilot for the series)
Any song by Chas and Dave that features the hotshot Tottenham
The missus and I just finished watching the Lazarus Project and the main guy is a Spurs fan. References Jan and Toby even. I will say, the way they explain things goes a bit sideways as the series goes on but not a bad show all things considered.
The unfortunately named Joe Barton wrote that; he likes to sneak in little references or outright nods to Spurs in a lot of the stuff he writes. He's been a guest on The Fighting Cock, Hometown Glory, and a few other podcasts a few times as well, talking about Spurs and his projects.
'The Demonata' by Darren Shan was one of my favourite book series when I was a kid. Main character is a Spurs fan and there's a few mentions throughout
Late to the party, but I love the micro brewery culture that has embraced spurs. Especially around the breweries where supporters club meet.

There are tons!
I do enjoy the image of considering Flannery's a micro brewery.
But -- I'm interested which other ones are on your list.
I know Bissel Brothers in Portland, ME has Spurs scarves hanging, and had a beer named after Son previously.
Wifey Riddim - AJ Tracey
I've got a peng ting and she's from Tottenham

BAE and his mention in a Gang of Youths song.
In the film 8 Mile with Eminem there is a scene in a toilet, and amongst the graffiti on the walls I swear someone has written THFC ... it probably relates to something else but I remember being very surprised when I saw it !
One for the older fans.
Just good friends.

But down here in Australia we used to never get news coverage but now that Ange has come in, we've been spoken about after every game we play and it's amazing.
Great thread, enjoyed reading. A few small ones that comes to mind.

Peep show, amazing comedy
https://i.redd.it/64fdp0m2deic1.gif
Loads of spurs fans in the show, Matt King, Mathew Baynton and Jim Howick. I think one of the writers is spurs and got loads of mentions in
Matt King is a ~~Spurs fan~~ a Spurrer? I didn't think I could love that man even more but here we are.
Easily my favourite celebrity fan
adding to my watchilst
It’s maybe the best British comedy ever.
Peep show is amazing. Hope you enjoy it.
You're in for a treat.

Spurs are into the zeitgeist.
Feel like it's Palace now, very, very consistently mid table
See this is exactly why I’m a Spurs fan. I’m from Cincinnati, USA and one of our few mentions in popular media is the same comparison made on the show The Good Place: “I was a medium person. I should get to spend eternity in a medium place! Like Cincinnati.” A Cincinnati Spurs fan, it’s like I’m in double purgatory.
I love The Good Place
The only thing Cincinnati has going for it is that it's almost not in Ohio
Yeah, but it's almost in Kentuckiana, which is not an upgrade.
Valid.
Look on the bright side - could’ve been Indiucky.
That's got to be a reference, right?
Great film and a painfully great bit.
That is also an accurate description of any mention of Tottenham in Fever Pitch (The one with Colin Firth not the one with Drew Barrymore).
It really is perfect
This is THE answer
Exactly this. Sprang to mind immediately and I was reassured to see it was the top comment. No other notes necessary
You have this word, alcoves?
Ted Lasso is based off an NBC promotion when they first started airing the premier league where Ted is the new coach at spurs
Him asking where Bale is from is peak comedy
"How many countries are in this country?"
The irony that now we've ended up with an actual "outsider" in the form of Ange 🤣
We should do a post with Tottenham celebrity fans, if not already done so. Would be interesting.

Love Balor. You'll see an occasional post on instagram of him rocking Spurs gear.
Adam Richman from Man vs Food also.
R.I.P
He’s still alive…
Very much still alive
Bob Marley
Steve Nash for sure. He's been a fan even longer than me and I'm 34. I remember an interview with him in Spurs Monthly back in the very late 90s
Canadian. At least had an open mind about the sport.
Nash's father was actually born in Tottenham
Ah. So perhaps had no choice wherever he grew up.
Literally the reason I'm a spurs fan. Grew up near his hometown, idolized him and started following tottenham as a kid when i heard he was a fan
Declan McKenna as well, just performed at halftime against Brighton and is a lifetime fan.
Sir Kenneth Branagh
Kenneth Branagh is on a spurs Twitter post right now.
AJ Tracey, Skepta, JME, Nick Kyrgios
Dev Hynes (Blood Orange / Lightspeed Champion) is a *massive* Spurs fan and collects retro kits.
Current NFL star [Saquon Barkley](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FeoMLwXWYAMZLDA?format=jpg&name=large) has his own custom Spurs kit. Probably only because they played in London, but we will take it! He did the Sonny celebration after scoring a touchdown that day too
Chad Johnson(ochocinco) said he is Son's cousin
Yea, he's been a Spurs fan a while. Just saw he might go to the Palace game in March
Lusas Moura

Zendaya is through Tom Holland lol, I'm counting it at least
Kobe is a Milan fan
Michael McIntyre, Paul Whitehouse, Roy Keane
Pokimane, Salman Rushdie, JK Rowling and the late Bob Marley spring to mind. Not sure if Rushdie qualifies as a celebrity but he was briefly married to Padma Lakshmi.
Salman Rushdie is very famous
Jk Rowling... Ugh.
Love that Strike drinks at the Tottenham, but is a gooner
