9 famous Man City fans gallery and their net worth including David Threlfall and Martin Lewis
After City boss Pep Guardiola bemoaned the fact actress Julia Roberts was a Manchester United fan, we decided to look at famous Sky Blues supporters.
Pep Guardiola raised a few eyebrows this week when he stated that winning the Champions League with Manchester City would not compare to his disappointment of Julia Roberts snubbing the Sky Blues in 2016.
The glamorous Hollywood actress famously visited Old Trafford to watch Manchester United take on West Ham and declared herself a fan of the home team. Guardiola quipped this week that Julia was his idol and he had never got over the disappointment.
He said: “Julia Roberts years ago came to Manchester, not in the ‘90s when Sir Alex Ferguson was winning titles and titles and titles, she came in the period where we were better than United, in these four or five years. And she went to visit Man United. She didn’t come to see us. That’s why this is - even if I win the Champions League, it will not compare to the fact that Julia Roberts came to Manchester and didn’t come to see us.”
However, the City boss shouldn’t be too disappointed as the club have their fair share of famous fans. Here for fun, we take a look at some of them you may not know about and what they are worth, with stats from CelebrityNetWorth and photos courtesy of Getty.
