Spike Lee is a Gooner, and it’s down to one man…
Hollywood director Spike Lee has revealed that he is an Arsenal fan while speaking to Labour MP and self-proclaimed Spurs fan David Lammy, as per Joe.co.uk.
Lee joins a number of well-established list of famous entertainers who’ve picked Arsenal as their favourite football team after Jay-Z claimed that he was also a Gooner.
The rapper once toyed with the idea of purchasing shares in the club and while that notion has passed, he recently did a commercial deal with his club through his streaming service TIDAL.
A deal worth £1m-per year was announced in June which will see our players create playlists for the streaming service as well as other promotional campaigns.
Just like Jay-Z, it was Gunners icon Thierry Henry who drew them to the club, the Frenchman was the definition of elegance.
Why does Spike Lee support @Arsenal? Well, @ThierryHenry of course!

“I’m going to the game tomorrow!” Lee said to David Lammy when he brought up the topic of Arsenal.
A weirdly bemused Lammy asked how the Malcom X director came to support the Gunners and he simply replied: “Thierry Henry, Thierry Henry. You can’t blame for me that, though.”
We’re still the biggest club in London. Lammy would do well to remember that.
