Thread title is a shocker.

Assuming you mean celebrities that follow the Lions...

Neil Diamond
Kevin Rudd
Robbie Williams
Jerry Lewis
Peter Hollingworth (former #1 ticket holder)
Greg Norman (former #1 ticket holder)
Julie Anthony

"Follow" is a subjective term though. I'm sure some of them couldn't name 5 current players.

I thought Greg Norman was a Richmond fan and I thought Bert never followed the lions post merger. I remember on grand final day 03 he said he would be barracking for Collingwood

I think you might be right about Bert, and for that comment he will unfortunately be going straight to hell.

I Know this will be a little controversial but I really don't understand Fitzroy supporters that don't follow us. If its good enough for Kevin murray ir should be good enough for anyone

This post has the potential to derail your own thread.

Potential? Damned near certainty....

oh god now I have gone and subscribed to it...

Bert Newton

Over the years when Bert has been asked about going over to the Brissy Lions, he has said he never could do it, that he lost interest after Fitzroy folded...

 

[Tim the Toolman]

I know that John Blackman definitely dropped off supporting us when the merger happened but who remembers:

- Gil Tucker of The Cop Shop fame
- Amanda Duncan now of Spray n Wipe fame!
- Wally Masur posing in Fitzroy guersney before a Davis Cup tie vs the United States c.1995
- Kylie Minogue's first ever public performance as a singer was at a FFC Family Day!

Really??

Where do you want me to start?

While there are many good reasons for Roys supporters to follow the Lions, (I do, although my interest has waned recently) there are plenty of good reasons not to, as well. The Lions should be maximising the reasons for and minimising the reasons against as much as possible. Unfortunately at various stages they've done the opposite.

Shall we go through the events of 2010 to start with and work our way back to 1996?

If its good enough for Kevin murray ir should be good enough for anyone

What about Bernie Quinlan and John Murphy?

Craig Huggins (sports reporter, radio DJ & TV voice-over man) is a mad Lions supporter

 

[Hollow Knight]

Think I remember someone telling me that Craig "Voice of the AFL" Willis is a Lions man too.

 

[Chasing the Dream]

Think I remember someone telling me that Craig "Voice of the AFL" Willis is a Lions man too.

Yes, I believe this to be true

 

[CarloLion]

Matthew Hayden i believe is a lions fan....

I remember him being interviewed on the Cricket Show at lunch i think in 2003 and him saying how stoked he was that Brisbane had won the premiership...
How nice it is to know that the greatest batsmen ive ever seen watches the greatest CHF ive ever seen at the mighty Gabba where he spent many a summer carving it up!

 

[Tairy Greene]

Yeah he is, I actually met him through a friend. Had a pow wow with him about the Lions and then asked him what he did to earn a crust, he said some TV and radio work. I asked 'Anything I would know?'

Go to 1:09, plus he's with Dora the Explorer, so maybe she can find the remnants of our season.

 

[dlanod]

I'd hazard a guess and say Jodie Henry might have a soft spot for the Lions as well.

 

[mikey127]

I know the late big Kev was a lions fan but not liked by the club as was only ever seen on grand final day

John Faine who presents mornings on ABC Melbourne is a big lions fan

Someone Brisbane based may be able toconfimr but I have a feeling Kieran perkins might be a lions fan but I;m not sure

 

[mikey127]

Oh and how could I forget big Wendell Sailor is a lions fan

 

[Mr Ripper]

- Amanda Duncan now of Spray n Wipe fame!

Any relation to Paula Duncan?
