Who are our well known/celebrity supporters?

The new Pope Francis Bourke. It is considered a controversial name, but he chose it because he is a massive tigers fan who is inspired by by the humble beginnings of this son of a Nathalia dairy farmer who was notoriously tough and uncompromising on the footy field. Pope Francis Bourke said today " Como Francis Bourke snr y Jr., vengo desde sus humildes comienzos y espero que puedo jugar 300 juegos para la iglesia como para los poderosos Tigres St Francis"
 
Carlton and Richmond in a Twitter battle to get the Grauniad's inaugural Oz editor, Katharine Viner, as a supporter.

Not too sure if I'm posting this in the right spot, but according to the RFC twitter account, the new Number 1 ticket holder for the Tigers is a businessman by the name of Ken Grenda. Here's an article on him from The Australian, published early last year - http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/the-man-with-the-golden-handshake/story-e6frg8h6-1226292128380

Mad tiger man. The family owned bus company.
He gave his employees a massive Xmas bonus..
 
Yes, great tiger man. He and his son Scott have done a lot for the club and the community over a number of years. Great family.

Would have picked him as a Blue.

Bet he's a Grigg hater - he plays on the left wing.

Me!
I hope he's a paid up member. They come from all walks of life. Happy to have him.
If we all had to pass a personality test or only show a typical political allegiance, it would be a poorer place.

Greg Norman.................but only because we and he were at their peak in popularity in the early 80's

Great call. Interviewed by Tim Watson before todays Anzac game. The audio cut away for a moment but pretty sure Norman said he was a "pie guy"
 
Not sure anyone has the definitive answer on Greg Norman.

While I certainly haven't seen him around the club as any sort of presence, he was the face of setting up the Jack Dyer foundation.

If he made a donation to the foundation, then I'd think he atleast has a soft spot for us. Does anyone know for certain if he contributed?
 
To be fair to Norman, he might have been suggesting his allegiance was for today. It's not like he's in Australia much to closely follow any team.
