The BBC TV series Bottom featured the character Eddie Hitler (played by Adrian Edmondson) as a supporter of the team. In the show, he once asked the barman of his local (called "The Lamb and Flag,") if it was true he had a trial with the team. **** Head, the landlord replied that he was decked by Les Ferdinand for kicking the ball in his own net. He was expecting to get applause from his team mates, as he was unaware he had scored an own goal.

I saw on the football league show that Adrian Edmunson was a Chelsea fan. He said he used to be a fan of Chelsea but is now an Exeter fan. (I think it was Exeter). I was convinced he was a Qpr fan.
