There was a time when following a football club was seen as a no-go area for anyone in the world of celebrities.
But the boom that followed England’s success at the World Cup in Italy 1990 rejuvinated the game in Britain and changed the way supporters were viewed around the country.
Football stadiums had suddenly become the place to be seen as increased broadcasting and media coverage of the newly-formed Premier League took the game to a worldwide audience.
Of course, some celebrities had never shied away from their love and their clubs and there are some on the following list that were only too happy to show their support for Aston Villa when they became famous.
