Names like Ed Sheeran, Adele, and Harry Styles, along with countless others, have been public about their love for the game.

Shaquille O’Neal supported a tier 4 team

Shaquille O’Neal is a big star, and it is very easy for him to support big teams and famous players. But six years ago, he surprised everyone when he sent a message to a tier 4 team in the English soccer system.

The team is Northampton Town, and they play in EFL League two. The message from Shaq came after they won the league championship.
