It’s been an unforgettable year to be a Tottenham Hotspur supporter, whether a humble season ticket holder or an A-lister sitting up in the executive suites.
Spurs are one of the biggest clubs in the world and this year’s Europa League triumph was the first piece of silverware for the club since getting their hands on the League Cup in 2008 and a first European triumph since a 1984 UEFA Cup win.
LondonWorld looks at 10 famous Tottenham Hotspur fans who will have been celebrating this year and why they follow Spurs, ranked by their reported net worth.
Famous Tottenham Hotspur fans
AJ Tracey, Rapper - £4 million
The rapper is a Tottenham Hotspur fan thanks to his dad. In an interview with the club’s official website he opened up on his love for Spurs. AJ Tracey said: “My dad giving me the purple Pony shirt, late 1990s, and giving me a big hug. I’ve still got that shirt. It’s tiny, but I’ll never get rid of it.”
When asked about his season ticket routine, he said: “I tend to drive in now, usually meet my younger brother along the way. He lives in a different side to London to me. He might be an even bigger fan than me - he’s got a lot of trivia! We’ll park up, walk around the front of the stadium, get a bite to eat, sit down, excited, get a drink and say ‘hi’ to everyone around me. I’m a Season Ticket Holder, so I know everyone around me. It’s like a family.”
Emma Raducanu, Tennis Player - £10 million
US Open champion Emma Raducanu came to love Tottenham Hotspur through her coaching team who were ‘desperately’ trying to convert the tennis star. She was even given a customised Tottenham Hotspur shirt to form those bonds.
That worked and after Euro 2021, Raducanu said: “I loved following the Euros last year and watching Harry Kane, who's obviously the England captain, and Son, I'm a big fan of him as well.”
Nicholas Kyrgios, Tennis Player - £8 million
It’s a pretty simple reason why Australian tennis star Nicholas Kyrgios supports Tottenham Hotspur and that’s thanks to FIFA. He said: “I play computer games a lot and I used to like Emmanuel Adebayor on FIFA. At the time, he played for Spurs, so I supported them and have never changed.”
Kyrgios was seen warming up in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt at Wimbledon in 2017. The sportsman also visited the Spurs training ground in 2014 to watch the team behind-the-scenes.
Dave Bautista, Actor - £12 million
The actor has been in several high profile films over recent years including Dune, Guardians of the Galaxy and Blade Rune 2049. The 56-year-old was born in Washington DC but found an affinity for Tottenham Hotspur while on set one year.
He told Soccer AM: “I’ve been adopted by Tottenham. A very good friend of mine who was on my make-up team for Guardians of the Galaxy talked to me about football and I said I know absolutely nothing. He said, ‘You don’t have a team? Well you do know, and came in with a Tottenham jersey.”
A cheeky Noel Gallagher, known for his Manchester City love, was on the programme that day and replied: “If I knew nothing about football I’d be a Tottenham fan.”
Tom Holland, Actor - £30 million
The Spiderman star is another who has been outspoken in his love for the club, giving an interview to the Tottenham Hotspur website. In 2021 he did an interview alongside Son Heung-min and admitted the 2019 Champions League run had converted him into a superfan.
Speaking in September 2023 as Ange Postecoglou began his work at the club, he said: "We are really enjoying it. It seems like they are playing really great football. The lads seem like they are really enjoying it so us, as Tottenham fans, right now, it feels really good."
Michael McIntyre, Comedian - £64 million
McIntyre is regularly seen at Spurs matches and featured across the club’s social media channels. Speaking to TNT Sports last season, he said: “Crouchy asked if I would come down and say hi, and I’d never say no to Crouchy.
“I woke him [Crouchy] up on the Midnight Gameshow in his holiday home, that was super fun. It’s a pleasure to be here. I sit up there, that’s why I’m in a suit and not allowed to get angry. I went to the Brighton game last week and that was a tense experience.”
Adele, Singer - £176 million
Adele was born in Tottenham and spent her early childhood there. The singer has been spotted wearing Spurs scarves and sung ‘Glory, Glory, Tottenham Hotspur’ for the club.
In 2020 when playing at London, she opened up about her love for the club. When releasing her album in 2021, the Spurs social media channel wrote: “Hometown glory. Congratulations on the new album.”
JK Rowling and Sir Alan Sugar two of Spurs’ richest famous followers
Mark Wahlberg, Actor - £320 million
How deep the actor’s love for Tottenham Hotspur runs is maybe questionable, but Wahlberg has been seen sporting Spurs clobber. He’s recorded some promotional material for the club’s social media accounts and not been afraid to land a dig at north London rivals Arsenal.
JK Rowling, Author - £800 million
The Harry Potter author is a fan of Tottenham Hotspur through her family. She once said: “I'm not a very passionate supporter and I certainly don't get very depressed if they're not doing very well but if I was to turn up to watch anyone it would be Spurs.”
Sir Alan Sugar, Businessman - £1.1 billion
The Apprentice star is one of the club’s most outspoken fans and regularly shares his thoughts about Tottenham Hotspur on social media. Sir Alan even invested in the club alongside Terry Venables back in 1991.
Sugar eventually sold his stake in February 2001 but was involved in plenty of high profile decisions during his time at the club. He went on to donate £3 million from the proceeds of the club’s sale to the refurbishment of the Hackney Empire.
