Football is the most popular sport in the world and it’s no surprise to see celebrities taking in a game – but some have become known as bad luck omens.
Big names from the world of music, film and television have rushed to be associated with football. but their presence hasn’t always been welcome once results begin to dip.

Five years later, he bought the cash-strapped club and staged a bizarre fundraising event with cameo appearances from David Blaine and Michael Jackson.
