The UK sports media have got excited this weekend with reports that Will Ferrell is the latest movie star to bring his celebrity, and his wallet, to English football.

While Leeds FC have refused to confirm Ferrell’s arrival in its boardroom, saying they never comment on individual stakeholders, The Sun reports that the comedic actor had paid the club’s US owners 49ers Enterprises, that his involvement will be unveiled in a few days and quotes an insider confirming: “It’s true – Will Ferrell owns a share of Leeds.
The 49ers will be announcing his involvement in the coming days and he’s looking forward to sprinkling a little stardust on the club. “He loves soccer and has been particularly impressed by the passion of the English game.” Already a co-owner of Los Angeles FC, Ferrell’s love of English football is well documented.
