What has Robbie Williams said about football?

Since his rise to fame, Williams has always been very vocal about his love of Port Vale, because it is where he grew up.

He famously told fans in 2003: "The papers can talk about my personal life or whatever — but don’t mess with me and the Vale.”

Speaking to The Sentinel, he said:“The truth is I’ve been a Port Vale fan all my life.

"When I was younger I was in the Railway Paddock and I used to dream about sitting in the chairman’s box."

In the same interview, a then 29-year-old Williams appealed to the people of Stoke-on-Trent to be patient while he "grows up" — and spoke of his dream of one day !playing a key role" at Port Vale.

And in 2006, the singer stumped up some cash to bail the Valiants out of trouble.

Williams became the majority shareholder of the cash-strapped League One club – costing him £250K.

Speaking to BBC Radio Stoke in June 2023, just before he performed a concert at Vale Park, he again talked about how much the club and the local town meant to him.

The singer said: "I am just wondering what it's going to feel like for the person that used to be Robert, and now is Robbie, coming back to do this in a stadium I once sat in.
