If he attends Bramall Lane for the game, he will join a long list of celebrities to have spent time in the Steel City over the years.
Sheffield is a beautiful city which attracts not only visitors looking for a great city break – but also some famous faces as well.
Over the years, The Star has pictured many of them, with snaps over the years showing international stars ranging from Paul Newman in the nearby Peak District to Olivia Newton-John at a school fete in the city.
Other sighting included the Beatles outside City Hall, at the Sex Pistol at a local radio station.
These pictures show big stars who visited our city, which has been named as one of the best places in Europe for a city break, and its surrounding countryside.
