Premier League celebrity fans: Who do the likes of Usain Bolt and Barack Obama support?

The countdown to the new Premier League season is underway - and it's not just normal fans who are looking forward to August.

England’s top flight is the most watched in the world - and it's also got some pretty high profile supporters.

From Snoop Dogg and Jay Z to Prince Harry and Catherine Zeta-Jones, celebrities the world-over have revealed their club alleigances.

Here, we take you through a selection of each team's most famous fans.

Arsenal

Prince Harry - Prince Harry is a renowned Arsenal fan, and the Queen apparently met Cesc Fabregas in 2007.

Jay-Z - He was rumoured to be a Manchester City fan but he set the record straight during an interview in 2010.

Aston Villa

Prince William - William told Gary Lineker in an interview for BBC Sport last month that he decided to support Aston Villa because of their great history and to be different to his friends. Having not won a single thing since 1994, it’s fair to say that since Prince William started supporting the men in claret and blue in 1996, there hasn’t been a lot to shout about.

David Cameron - The British PM is a Villa fan (in the broadest sense of the word). Just take a look at this video. Cringe.

Tom Hanks - The Oscar-winning actor revealed that he chose to support Villa because he liked their name.

Ozzy Osbourne - In fact, Osbourne's bandmates Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are also Villa fans.

AFC Bournemouth

Jayne Middlemiss - The CFelebrity Masterchef winner and former Top of the Pops presenter is reportedly a fan of the Premier League’s fairytale new boys.

Christian Bale - Alright, this one might be debatable. We don't actually know if Batman is a Bournemouth fan, but he definitely used to live there.

Chelsea

Jeremy Clarkson - The TV presenter regularly attends games at Stamford Bridge and was most recently present at the game where the side were knocked out of the Champions League by PSG.

Michael Caine - Unlike his Batman co-star Bale, Caine is a big fan of the Blues.

Damon Albarn - Frontman of Blur, Gorillaz and other bands, the legendary Brit Pop singer is a huge Chelsea fan.

Crystal Palace

Eddie Izzard - An avid Palace follower since 1969 he became a director in 2012.

Bill Nighy - Described in an interview earlier this year as having a "fairly manic obsession" with football and Palace in particular.

Maxi Jazz - Rapper and lead vocalist for English band Faithless, he was even named an Associate Director of the club in 2012.

James Buckley - When he's not boasting about fictional girlfriends, the Inbetweeners star likes to spend his time at Selhurst Park.

Leicester City

Gary Lineker - the BBC Match of the Day presenter makes no secret of his affection for his former club, and was actively involved in praising last season’s great escape against relegation on social media.

Basil Brush - OK fine not the puppet himself but the man whom operated him was a huge Foxes fan, so Basil is by association.

Liverpool

Gary Barlow - the Take That star recalls his favourite memories are on the Kop with his Dad Colin as he and his family grew up in the city.

Daniel Craig - More than a plastic fan, the James Biond actor goes to games whenever he can.

Manchester City

Noel Gallagher - Last month the famous musician announced he’d let David Silva sleep with his wife - a bold statement, but an indication of his love for the club and the Spaniard’s admirers at least. Images of the former Oasis frontman in the plush seats at the Etihad stadium are now commonplace.

Andrew Flintoff - He once said: "'I'm a Manchester City supporter. I go to see them, but it's more about a day out with friends than the game."

Manchester United

Usain Bolt - Famously renowned for once claiming he ‘wanted to play’ for Manchester United once he had retired from athletics, the Jamaican Olympic gold medal sprint sensation then changed his mind earlier this year claiming that England was ‘too cold’ - an astute observation. In August 2012 the athlete was presented to the Old Trafford crowd with his medals from the London games, and he also took part in Rio Ferdinand’s testimonial too - likely to be the only two circumstances where he’ll find himself on the hallowed turf.

Floyd Mayweather - Famously taunted Hatton before their huge Las Vegas bout in 2007 by donning a United shirt at a pre-fight press conference.

Rory McIlroy - World No.1 McIlroy is a big United fan and is occasionally seen at Old Trafford.

Southampton

Craig David - The singer is from the Hampshire city and has supported the Saints since childhood.

Sugar Ray Leonard - American former professional boxer attended a game at the Britannia Stadium in 2008 where the Potters lost 2-0 to Chelsea.

West Ham

Barack Obama - A 2003 trip to London is cited as being the watershed moment when the US president decided to nail his claret and blue colours to the mast and support the east London side.

Russell Brand - Famously a Hammer, Brand has been a fan since he was a boy.

David Cameron - Or is it Aston Villa?
