These are the top five, die-hard, greatest fans of the beautiful game. This will take you through the best of the best, fans that would do anything for a La Liga, EPL, or Scottish Premier League title, or the all-important Champions League.

This show will be on the most loyal fans of all-time, and there are no others that can stand up or out-sing these fans.

Barcelona

Barcelona has been known for stylish play and their fans expect nothing less. They are looking for a La Liga this year, and the team will be below expectations without it.

Newcastle

Newcastle has great fans. They have been through tough times and still are going at it.

This season ('08/'09) in the prom, they're in the relegation battle, and still the Toon Army shows in the cold and rain, hoping Shearer can be as effective as a manager as he was a player.

Celtic

DUNDEE, UNITED KINGDOM - MAY 22:   Celtic fans celebrate after Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink of Celtic scored the first goal during the Clydesdale Bank Premier League match between Dundee United and Celtic at Tannadice Stadium on May 22, 2008 in Dundee, Scot

Celtic has a long great history, and the fans are wild. The Scottish club has great fans and they help them dominate the league along with the Rangers.

England

When the England fans show, its not worth trying to talk while "God Save our Glorious Queen” is being sung. England expects the best from their team and they are crazy about the team. Hopefully they can win a World Cup in South Africa.

Liverpool

When Liverpool sings "You'll Never Walk Alone," the stadium starts to shake. These are the most dedicated, reliable fans in the world.

You can't help but wonder what goes through the Liverpool players heads when they listen to the incredibly overwhelming crowd. They are really the top fans.
