I noticed Rio Ferdinand seemed to enjoy the Saints v Wigan match, tweeted in praise of Tomkins and Lima and actually said he wanted to go to a Pies match to see them in action.
So that is Rooney, Giggs, Ferdinand and Roy Keane exposed as big rugby league fans!! Anyone see a pattern emerging there?
Add to that Stuart Pearce and we could be looking at quite a footballing fanbase!

I remember seeing Bobby Charlton at Naughton Park many years ago. Can't recall who he was with though (maybe Denis Law?).

Aye, saw that - as ever with people who have more money than sense though, I bet they don't have to pay to get in icon_wink.gif

Loads of United lads used to go to CP back in the day; Giggs, Scholes, Keane, etc. I know some of them still go to the DW. Believe Rooney is a Leeds fan for some strange reason!

@rioferdy5 "@samtomkins1 ok, nice 1 + keep it up man because Wigan are my team since Edwards, Offiah + Frano Botika days!"

This is a sad reflection of how small time RL is, our supporters are actually getting excited that one of these amazing god like footballers has caught half of one of our matches on Sky Sports. Wooo.

Wooo.'"

Edited for accuracy.

Manchester United alone are vastly, massively bigger than the whole of British RL put together, probably by a factor of thousands. That quite a few of their lads (past and present) love our game and go to matches is something we should be proud of.

Like it or not, many footballers in this country have a bigger media profile than our entire sport so it doesn't do us any harm if they're seen to be talking it up.

Another to add to the list is Jason Lowe who's been a regular in the first team at Blackburn this season and an outside bet for the GB squad at the Olympics and is a lifelong Leigh fan and still attends games as much as possible when they don't clash with his footballing commitments.
