So What Football Team Do They Support? Quiz

Answer: Arsenal

Season-ticket holder Sir Keir is unashamed in his devotion to Arsenal - "The Gunners". The Arsenal team completed the 2003-04 Premier League season, of 38 games, undefeated. They were dubbed the "Invincibles". Managed by Arsène Wenger, the team won the League with 90 points, recording 26 wins and 12 draws - and no defeats. Other Arsenal fans include the actor Hugh Laurie, the four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Mo Farah, former Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn, and media personality Piers Morgan.
The incorrect answer options are all other teams in the north London area.

Answer: Aston Villa

David Cameron's uncle Sir William Dugdale was a former club chairman of Aston Villa, and took him to his first match at the age of 13; he's been a keen supporter ever since. However, during the 2015 election campaign he mistakenly told an audience that he supported West Ham United! - perhaps he got the teams confused as both play in claret-and-blue.

He quickly clarified that he was indeed a Villa fan, blaming his error on "brain fade", but he did attract a deal of mockery because of his slip. Other notable Villa fans include Prince William and Tom Hanks. The incorrect answer options are all other teams in the Midlands.

Answer: Raith Rovers

Gordon Brown is a lifelong supporter of the Scottish club Raith Rovers, based in his hometown of Kirkcaldy. He went to his first match on New Year's Day 1958 when he was about seven years old: he says that he can still remember the Raith team line-up from that day.

Delia Smith has supported Norwich City - "The Canaries" - for many years. For 27 years, she and her husband served as the joint majority shareholders and directors, rescuing the club from the brink of bankruptcy in 1996. In 2025 she became Honorary Life President of the club after stepping down from the board.She demonstrated her commitment in her passionate, on-pitch, microphone-wielding rallying call to her fellow fans during a 2005 Premier League match against Manchester City: "Where are you? Where are you? Let's be having you! Come on!".

She was the driving force behind the catering operations at the club's home ground, Carrow Road, for decades - the food there was legendary! And yes, Norwich City are the only Football League team in England to play in yellow and green shirts.
The incorrect answer options are all other teams in the East Anglia area.

Answer: Watford

John bought Watford FC in 1976 when they were in the Fourth Division of the English Football League, and by 1982 he'd guided them to the First Division (now known as the Premiership). The input of his financial assistance and the leadership of long-term manager Graham Taylor saw them finish the 1982-83 season in second place to Liverpool - their highest-ever position.
The incorrect answer options are all other teams in the London area.

Answer: Manchester City

The Gallagher brothers are lifelong supporters of Manchester City, the team that play in pale blue. Their cross-city rivals, the Red Devils of Manchester United, are now known for their dressing room and boardroom problems rather than for their performances on the pitch; this is very pleasing for football fans like myself who are members of the "Anyone but United" club! Success attracts success, so City also enjoy the support of people such as actors Timothy Dalton, Jackie Chan and Michelle Keegan, chef Marco Pierre White, broadcaster Clive Myried and musician Johnny Marr. The incorrect answer options are all other teams in the Manchester area.

Answer: Newcastle United

Newcastle United is one of the great names in English football. Blair's former parliamentary constituency, Sedgefield, is in the area, and he made frequent visits to St James' Park for public discussions about the club's fortunes and to run local sports and coaching initiatives. The club's anthem is "Blaydon Races", an old music hall song written in about 1862. Blaydon, where the original foot race took place, is a small town about four miles from Newcastle.

For years, critics accused Blair of lying about watching the Newcastle United legendary striker Jackie "Wor Jackie" Milburn at St James' Park. Blair's critics claimed he was making this up in a cynical ploy to appeal to ordinary fans, as Milburn had stopped playing before Blair was born. However, recordings from a 1997 BBC radio interview proved that he never made the claim - he actually said that his time as a Newcastle supporter began "just after the Jackie Milburn era". Other prominent Newcastle fans include broadcasters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly (Ant and Dec), musicians Sting, Jason Donovan and Jimmy Nail, and actor Robson Green.
The incorrect answer options are all other teams in the north-east of England.
