Ian Holloway mentioned this website in his column on the Beeb site and I think we need to improve the STFC list which at the moment is just Wille and his mates plus Jamie Cullum.

I've submitted David Howell the golfer, but there must be a few others?

Elton John was known to watch Swindon in his younger days when he wasnt supporting Watford. Think his dad was based at Lyneham or something.

  Surely if Hollowhead mentions this website, then we've already enough famous fans?

 Wilson ceased being a  Town fan, when he got upset because some fans were beastly to McMahon.   I read it in his autobiography, Wilson's that is, it remained on the WH Smith shelf, just checked for STFC stuff.

Lamarr has grown on me quite a bit over the last couple of years. I used to get the impression that he would have loved to been able to say that he was born and brought up in the East End, hence the 'cheeky cockney con man/50's throwback image', and that he was gutted by the fact that actually he had been born and brought up in the totally non-hip/trendy cultural vacuum that is Swindon.

I think it used to be really hard for him to even admit he was from Swindon but these days he makes quite a few references to it. I reckon he's mellowing out with age and is coming to accept what he is and where he's from.

As for being a Town fan though??? Not a chance. He's not even slightly interested in football, let alone STFC.

There is a bloke on Radio 2 called Tim Smith who really is a Town fan though.
