On, not entirely accurate but Daniel Craig is a Liverpool supporter :D
Each to their own. :D
BOURNEMOUTH FOREVER \m/
Part of my interest stemmed from Bond living in Chelsea. Not so keen on their recent form, but we'll bounce back.
Secondly: James Bond supporting a club owned by a Russian oligarch and managed by the most ill mannered, whiny coach ever? Yeah right!
LOL.
Yes, I've finally found a kindred spirit in @Benny! :)
My word, could Newport County use some of his gadgets, right now.
As for the actors themselves (according to certain media accounts):
Sir Sean Connery: Glasgow Rangers these days
George Lazenby:
Sir Roger Moore: Reading
Timothy Dalton: Derby County
Pierce Brosnan: Tottenham Hotspur (although one account says Fulham)
Daniel Craig: Liverpool
Hence if he were a football fan it would no doubt be Fulham. They are arguably the most middle-class club in the country.
I agree.
Much as it pains me to admit it but I think if anything Bond would be a rugger bugger.
He would certainly have only played rugby and cricket in his various posh schools.
I consider him far too much of a loner to enjoy the crowds of a football match and it's just not a world that I can picture Bond in. It's like saying 'what local boozer would he frequent? The Dog and Duck on the Kings Rd or the Red Lion on Sloane Sq?'
And even if he was a football fan he should have pledged his allegiance to a team long before then.
I would say the following clubs would have a greater claim to Bond'ms support during his formative years, given he probably didn't start living in Chlesea until after the war:
Hearts/Hibs from his time at Fettes.
FC Kitzbuhel were only founded in 1947 so that's too late for his time with the Oberhausers. The next nearest sizeable town with a club in existence at the right time would be Kufstein FC founded in 1919.
And let's not dismiss non league Pett Bottom Utd AFC!!!
To be fair though given the amount of plastic ex public school fans Chelsea has attracted in the Ambramovitch era Bond could easily have jumped on this bandwagon and joined the prawn sarnie brigade. Just as now they are shit he would join the same plastics in deserting the club and seeing the gate back down to 20k like it always was before the glory hunters latched on.
But to be honest I really can't see Bond (either in his literary or cinematic incarnations) having the slightest interest in football.
By the way am I the only one who found it incongruous that Bond had a telly in his flat?
Pretty sure Fleming states somewhere 'Bond did not own a television set'. Just as I can't imagine him watching football nor can I imagine him rushing home to watch Eastenders.
On the other hand, I'm a Bond fan because he's such a stylish fellow, and Lazio is the team that is traditionally the team of the bourgeoisie in Rome.
In England, football might be very working class, but on the contintent big cities historically have one working class and one middle/upper class team. In Rome, Lazio is the latter.
Yes http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/26/article-2529409-1A4C4A6F00000578-961_625x389.jpg

Very odd. Perhaps he just picked it up in order watch
Maybe he just watches MOTD and Jeff and the boys?
Is he a Rangers fan then? Interesting. I'd support them myself if I was in Scotland.
Well, until that Michael Jackson statue went up. But that statue seemed to bring the club good luck...since coming down, FFC has fallen on hard times.
Or Bond was watching the Rugby World Cup!
