Who does Robbie Williams support? Find out about his love of Port Vale

If you are wondering who does Robbie Williams support – then read on for information on the world famous pop star – and his connection to the Valiants.

Since branching out into solo stardom, Robbie has remained true to his Valiant roots…

Robbie Williams, Port Vale’s most famous supporter was born above a pub, a mere two minutes walk from the Vale Park stadium.

The entertainer has proclaimed his support for the club since his Take That! days and at the height of Take That’s fame, Robbie wearing a Vale shirt on tour would guarantee an extra £1,000 weekly takings at the club shop.

Since branching out into solo stardom, Robbie has remained true to his Valiant roots. On an episode of Channel Four’s “TFI Friday” he revealed his “Port Vale” guitar case and slammed Chris Evans’ ill-judged remarks that he was a Man Utd fan with “No! I’m a Vale fan.”

A BBC documentary showed Robbie walking the Vale pitch interspersed with pictures of his first game for Port Vale. That appearance saw Robbie playing in a testimonial amongst his Vale heroes to mark the long-standing Dean Glover’s 10 years at Vale. Typically, Robbie stole the show by scoring a penalty and then being “sent off” for over-celebrating!

Robbie has undoubtedly brought Port Vale to many people’s attentions and it is surely to his credit that he has stayed true to his boyhood team rather than joining the trendy ranks of celebrity Premiership supporters.

Williams appeared again at Vale Park in testimonials for Martin Foyle and Neil Aspin – stealing the show both times.

He also purchased around £250,000 of Port Vale shares when the club was taken over by the Valiant 2001 board. However, new owners now control the club so Robbie is no longer a shareholder.

In 2022, Robbie Williams played a homecoming gig at the Vale Park stadium in aid of a number of charities. It shows that he may now be known across the globe, but Robbie Williams still hasn’t forgotten his roots.
