Just listening to the legendary Wilko Johnson on BBC radio 2 - and wondering if he's a West Ham fan given his Canvey Island roots?

Never known him to mention football. I saw him the other day, funnily enough.

Is there like a list of famous people supporting Hammers? I've heard Keira Knightley, the Queen, anyone else? Apart from Russell Brand and that Coocooocoza or what is it.

Mate of mine from Canvey - on this site very occasionally - knows him, and knew Brillo quite well . . I'll find out what he says . . .

Some of these are of course a bit more legit than others. That's not to say I've made any of these up - all of them have been linked in some manner to an appreciation of West Ham United, FC - but whilst, say, Jeremy Kyle or James Corden profess their love for WHUFC on a regular basis, it's unclear as to quite how committed to the cause, say, the President of the United States of America actually is. **** won't follow me and join my lovely West Ham Family on Twitter, anyway: Jeremy Kyle James Corden Ray Winstone Kriss Akabusi Matt Damon Dave Grohl John Cleese Lennox Lewis Steve Harris Alfred Hitchcock Barack Obama Nick Frost Terrence Stamp Graham Gooch Richard E. Grant Paul Gascoigne Dizzee Rascal Keith Flint EDIT Oh FFS, boss: The ****ing words "West" and "Ham" keep b*stard-well vanishing once I post something. A bit of a ****ing **** on a West Ham website, that is. Sarge! EDITEDIT It's just done it a-****ing-gain! ****!

Ah yes I remember that in depth documentary he did about David Cross's part as a lone striker in the 1980 FA Cup Final Psycho is still regarded as a classic today. Some bloke tried to remake it with a strange plot about a bloke who thought he was his dead mother but frankly I thought he rather missed the point.

Former Smiths frontman Morrisey is a masive hammers fan by all accounts.

I consider him one of us as long he won't have a bloody blue rooster on his chest.

I think the general belief is that that was probably a bit of an aesthetic pose, connected to his Dagenham Dave days, and his continued obsessions (again, aesthetically speaking) with a) the working classes and b) "swinging" England/London of the sixties. Perhaps he feels/felt that West Ham epitomised all of that. I dunno. It's possible he's developed an affinity for us over that period of course. That said, he's also been pictured a few times in a Club Deportivo Chivas USA shirt (MLS side, out of Los Angeles), he's apparently been pictured in a ManUre shirt (I've never seen that but I've seen a Citeh fan pissing and moaning about it on Bluemoon-mcfc), he's also apparently cited Eric Cantona as his favourite player AND claimed no interest in football at all at one time or another, so who knows?
