Topic: What football club would Bond follow?

I ask as a non-Brit, what football club would Bond follow?

Taking into account where he was born... where he currently lives (literary and films)... maybe what the fan base is like...

He wouldn't follow any football club I don't think.

It was either that.....or the priesthood

Re: What football club would Bond follow?

Bond slammed the gearstick into top, savouring the Aston Martin’s throaty roar. He had an hour to get to Dover, that gateway to Europe, and intended to do it in half that leaving him enough time for a drink at the quiet but elegant hostelry he frequented in that area.
The traffic ahead seemed to be slowing. What the hell? He dropped down a gear, then another one as the cars and lorries moved ever more languidly. Ahead he could see several buses, brightly coloured flags flying from their windows. He could hear the sound of coarse singing.
Bond groaned, muttering a curse under his breath.  It looked like he would be here for some time...

Re: What football club would Bond follow?

What sports would he follow? Golf, I think. Swimming and judo?
My guess is he would follow golf in the media.  Judo and swimming are sports he does himself because it keeps him in shape and they're useful for his job, but he doesn't follow it in the media.
I can also picture him following winter sports, especially downhill. I can absolutely see him attending a downhill skiing championship in the Alps, Glühwein in one hand and a beautiful lady in the other  ajb007/bond

Re: What football club would Bond follow?

I think this question came up before, and all we really know is that Bond lives in Chelsea, and that Daniel Craig supports Liverpool.

Bond also usually succeeds in his missions, so that would mean he must root for Germany  ajb007/shifty

Oh, well, I guess, let's say pre-2018 Germany   ajb007/crap  ajb007/wink

Re: What football club would Bond follow?

Sean Connery liked football and indeed he was a useful player himself. Book Bond wouldn’t have liked football, in those days it was a working class sport. Now it’s for millionaires and Chelsea would be his team as he lives a short distance from Stamford Bridge.

Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Re: What football club would Bond follow?

Agree with Barbell here.

As others mentioned, golf and judo. He remains terribly efficient that way.

a reasonable rate of return

No winter sports when he's in the Alps?

He wouldn't.
