The people of North Korea suffer many hardships. But now they are being forced to watch Manchester United’s matches on the order of Red Devils fan and tyrant leader Kim Jong-Un.
After Louis van Gaal’s terrible winless start to the season – United’s worst in the Premier League for 22 years – and the cup thrashing at the hands of football minnows MK Dons this week, he might be regretting his decision. But even dictators, tyrants and terrorists need a way to let off steam and enjoy the beautiful game like the rest of us.
Robert Mugabe (Chelsea)
Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe – aka the butcher of Harare – loves to watch his beloved Chelsea when he’s not killing 20,000 people with ethnic cleansing. But even when he’s chilling out watching the footie, he still doesn’t sound like someone you want to be around. He said: “When I watch soccer, I do not want anyone to disturb me. Even my wife knows where to sit because while they are scoring in the field I will also be scoring at home, kicking everything in front of me.”
Idi Amin (Hayes FC)
An estimated 500,000 people died under the regime of brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. And the deceased despot learnt everything he knew thanks to the British. He spent 15 years in the British army where a fellow officer sang the praises of lowly Hayes FC – a non-league west London club.
Osama (Arsenal)
Before he led one of the world’s most wanted terrorist groups, he was the son of a billionaire who jetted around the world. Spending time at the family home in London, the soon-to-be Al Qaeda chief went to Highbury several times and is said to have bought one of his sons an Ian Wright replica shirt. Gunners fans even dreamed up a chant for him: “Osama, woah-oh, Osama, woah-woah-woah-woah, he’s hiding in Kabul, he loves the Arsenal.” But the Premier League club were less accommodating.
Gaddafi (Liverpool)
After the fall of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, a Liverpool mug was found among his personal remains. His son Al-Saadi Gaddafi tried to be a professional footballer and went on to invest heavily in Juventus, where he became a director. He also considered buying a stake in Liverpool.
