Following Arsenal FC's drought-breaking (nine years is a long time without major silverware if you're one of the world's largest clubs) nail-bitting, come-from-behind FA Cup victory today, we've picked 10 famous Gunners fans.
Gooners who've made Wikipedia's list include terrorist Osama Bin Laden (from his London days, apparently), racing car driver Lewis Hamilton, director Spike Lee and Hollywood Walk-Of-Famer Colin Firth.
For the record, Arsenal FC
• are the longest-serving residents of the top tier of English football• have now won the FA Cup the most times (equal with Machester United)
• prior to the drought, Arsenal won the FA Cup in 2002, 2003 and 2005.
• In 2003/04, they played the entire domestic season without losing a game, a feat which hadn't been achieved since 1800s — earning that side the moniker of The Invincibles.
• fans somewhat unsportingly celebrate St. Totteringham's Day each year — the day on which it becomes mathematically impossible for their near neighbours, and arch-rivals, Tottenham Hotspur to surpass them in the League for the current season.
