West Ham United are 'massive' as the song goes. Inevitably for a club of West Ham's size, there are some notable celebrity Hammers fans. These come from many areas, such as music, acting, and other sports.
Famous West Ham United supporters
Danny Dyer
Many believe that Dyer, who is Jarrod Bowen's father-in-law, is the reason that the star player stayed with the club despite relegation. Dyer was born in Custom House and had been a lifelong supporter of the club. He has been a regular at both Upton Park and the London Stadium. The actor regularly plays a typical East London geezer, in roles such as Mick Carter in EastEnders.
Ben Shephard
Shephard has been a staple of television in the UK, as a presenter on Good Morning Britain and the quiz show Tipping Point. He played a big role in the final game at Upton Park, where he interviewed the likes of Mark Noble after the 3-2 victory over Manchester United.
Ray Winstone
Similar to Dyer, Winstone often plays the typical Cockney in his acting roles. Winstone has appeared in much West Ham content on the club's official channels.

Harris is in the band, Iron Maiden, which was founded in a pub in Stratford. The Cart and Horses was where they played many of their early shows. If you go there now, there is a lot of heavy metal memorabilia.
