The West Midlands is home to some of the biggest football clubs in England and home to some brilliant stadiums.
Villa Park is without doubt one of the best grounds in the UK, and a large number of famous people have attended games at Villa Park, Molineux, St Andrew’s and the Hawthorns over the years.
Our region’s clubs have a number of famous fans who regularly attend matches, so we’ve decided to take a look at some of the most best known celebrities to have attended games at our clubs stadiums.
1. Tom Hanks, Villa Park
Mr Hanks is Villa’s most famous supporter, alongside Prince William, although he is definitely the most surprising. The Forest Gump Oscar-winner attended Villa’s 4-2 defeat against Arsenal and seemed to love the atmosphere
2. Prince William, Villa Park
Prince William has been at Villa Park numerous times over the years. He chose to support Villa because he wanted to support a team different to his friends at school. Here he is watching Villa v Sunderland at Villa Park in 2013

Wolves’ most famous supporter is the iconic Led Zeppelin frontman. The West Bromwich-born rock star has been a lifelong supporter of Wolves and is often spotted in the crowd at Molineux. Here he is during Wolves home game against Manchester City in 2018
4. Ian Bell, Villa Park
Cricket star Ian Bell is a big Villa fan. Here he is showing off the LV County Championship trophy as players from Warwickshire CC do a lap of honour during Premier League match between Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion at Villa Park in September 2012
