Famous faces who follow Burnley Football Club from the NFL, politics, entertainment and the Catholic Church
To help celebrate the Clarets gaining promotion this season back to the Premier League we thought it would be fitting to have a look at some of those celebrity fans from the newest – NFL legend JJ Watt – to some of the oldest and perhaps most unlikely.
