Newcastle United can call upon the support of a number of famous faces from the world of TV, movies, music, sport and more who call themselves as Magpies fans.
Whether it’s the well-known multiple award-winning TV duo, controversial politicians or music icons, there are more than a few big name followers of the Magpies.
