Tom Holland to Adele – Tottenham’s top five celebrity fans
Tottenham have built a following of some pretty well-known faces over the years.
Tottenham’s Europa League triumph brought some new fans to Hotspur Way and solidified some older ones.
It is hoped that the dismissal of Daniel Levy as Spurs chairman and the Lewis family’s prioritisation of Tottenham’s sporting results will help the Lilywhites explode in more ways for now.
But for a club founded 142 years ago, its fan and celebrity fan following does not come as a surprise. Here, Tottenham News puts together a list of their top five celebrity supporters.
Tom Holland
Tom Holland was ecstatic when Tottenham won the Europa League, and had nothing but praise to offer former Spurs striker Harry Kane at the time.
The actor who portrays Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe said to Tottenham‘s website in September 2023 that he was a fan of the football played under Ange Postecoglou during his first season.
While Cristian Romero is a player the Hollywood star has always admired. “I’ve always thought [Cristian] Romero was absolutely mustard,” he beamed. “So it is nice to see him peaking and doing really well.”
Adele
Having been born and raised in Tottenham, it is no wonder that British icon Adele is a Spurs fan.
The singer has been pictured at White Hart Lane on several occasions and never misses a chance to tell fans where her allegiance lies.
Famously, on 17 November 2021, Adele made clear she was one of Spurs’ own when she was filmed singing Tottenham anthem ‘Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur’ to the amusement of fans.
Michael McIntyre
Comedian Michael McIntyre is a long-standing Spurs supporter and has made his love for the club known over the years.
His support for the North London club can be traced to 2010 and beyond, when he sat down with Spurs TV Online in November that same year, to discuss Tottenham’s 3-1 over Arsenal the season prior, as well as his participation in the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation’s Charity Wristband campaign at the time.
He said: “Every time I come here, I supply Harry with the information to beat the opposition, and this time it was quite simple – give it to Gareth Bale!”
More recently, McIntyre was spotted hyping Spurs supporters in their 2023/24 Carabao Cup game against Fulham.
AJ Tracy
British grime icon AJ Tracy has been a supporter of the Lilywhites ever since he was young.
The music artist sat down with Soccer Bible on 19 September 2017, where he spoke about his earliest and fondest memories of Spurs.
He said: “My dad used to live in Tottenham, and a lot of my Caribbean family support Spurs. My mum is Welsh, so her team is Cardiff, but her English team is Tottenham, probably because of my dad.
“That’s how I started supporting them. You know the purple Pony shirt? That was my first proper kit. When I got that, I was gassed.”
Since he has performed at Spurs’ 2019 Nike kit launch. He has also been spotted in the dressing rooms and has even taken a couple of pictures with the players.
Mark Wahlberg
Mark Wahlberg, who is best known for his roles in “Ted” and “Daddy’s Home”, has visited the North London club on numerous occasions.
The actor is Spurs through and through and has voiced his dislike for fierce rivals Arsenal several times.
After decades at the top of their game, it is no wonder that Tottenham is so popular among celebrities around the world.
