Musicians, television stars and performers of all backgrounds are a part of most football club fan bases. Even at Leicester City!
They aren't the main faces who make up the numbers, but they are (apparently, in some more obscure cases) supporters nonetheless. Clubs like Manchester United, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have a few particularly famous faces supporting their teams.
Samuel L. Jackson is a supposed Red; Will Ferrell claims to support the Blues; Noel and Liam Gallagher famously actually follow the Citizens; and Mick Jagger is said to be a Gooner. While the famous Foxes might not be world-wide household names in every instance, LCFC have a decent collective of celebrated figures, so to speak.
Famous Leicester City fans
​The hierarchy of social influence begins with Manish Bhasin. The polished sports broadcaster had career at the BBC and beyond which made him a familiar, authoritative voice for football fans across the nation and beyond.

Rising through the ranks of digital prominence is the local pride of the snooker world, Mark Selby. Known as the "Jester from Leicester", the multi-time world champion is a fixture at King Power Stadium; he's paraded his silverware on the pitch to the delight of the Blue Army.

​Further up the ladder of fame is the powerhouse vocalist Sam Bailey. Since her meteoric rise from prison officer to national stardom, she has remained a vocal advocate for the club, often seen sporting the Leicester colors with genuine local fervor.

Bailey is joined in the musical vanguard by Serge Pizzorno, the driving creative force of Kasabian. Pizzorno is perhaps the ultimate "cool" Fox, famously scoring one of the greatest goals in Soccer Aid history and maintaining an image inextricably linked to the club's modern identity. The Victoria Park gig is inextricably linked to post-2016 glory.
​The global summit is occupied by the American pop sensation Jason Derulo. A surprising addition to the ranks whose massive digital following brings an unexpected international flair to the Leicester group.

Finally, the undisputed king of the Foxes remains Gary Lineker. As the city's most famous (and occasionally infamous) son and formerly the preeminent face of English sport as well as subsequently its media, Lineker's transition from a prolific local striker to National Team icon and then a broadcasting titan, and helping save LCFC at the turn of the millennium, ensures his status as the most influential supporter in the Leicester's history.
