It appears none other than Bjorn Borg is a Charlton Athletic fan - can't get much better than that can you? One of the greatest tennis players of all time as a fan, a real star, whooda thunk it!

This gave me a bit of inspiration to see what other celebrity Addicks we've got lurking around The Valley - sadly the results weren't quite so glamorous... here's the top 5:

• 5. Jim Davidson
  Hmmm, not a lot to shout about with this one... could be worse though, could be Bernard Manning

  4. Gary Bushell
  You'd hope this starts getting better soon really. Could be worse though, could be Jim Davidson... ;)

  3. Karl Howman
  Those of you over the age of 25 will remember Karl as the Jack the Lad painter Jacko from BBC comedy Brush Strokes. Those of you not approaching a mid-life crisis will know him as the lazy bastard in the Flash adverts
  
   


• 2. Steve Ryder
  Who can forget Steve as the anchor of the flagship BBC Sports flagship programme, Granstand? Probably everyone - it was as enjoyable as eating barbed wire and didn't have any sodding sport other than Darts, Horse Racing or Bowls. Rubbish.
  
  Better things are happing for Our Steve now though - he's the face of ITV's F1 coverage. Hopefully he can have a word about those bloody adverts
  


• 1. Mrs Trotter
  "I didn't know Rodney's middle name was Charlton."
  "Yeah it was me Mum. She was a fan."
  "Of Charlton Heston?"
  "No Charlton Athletic!"
  
  Those lovable Police-dodging Trotters are a national treasure. Forget the knock-off goods, lurid dressing gowns or the Batman and Robin outfits - these are the fine offspring of our Top Addick, Mrs Trotter. With her on board, that makes us practically Royalty!
