Chasetown might not have many famous fans but the most well known is an absolute cracker!

Comedian Frank Carson, 81, is a close friend of chairman John Donnelly and has been a fan since the Scholars played Oldham in an FA Cup tie in 2005.

"If I get my way I'll be going into the dressing rooms before the game and at half-time - to pep up our Chasetown boys and also to give the Cardiff lads some stick," said the star of The Comedians.

Referee Alan Wiley often attends games with his family, while Dr Samuel Johnson, although not strictly a fan of the team, was born in nearby Lichfield.
