Supporting Portsmouth
After he was thrown out of Gillingham FC's Priestfield Stadium in September 2002, one Portsmouth fans website criticised Westwood, describing him as being a "drunk yob". However, two days later they issued an apology stating they had "gone too far."
Westwood was banned from South Coast arch-rivals Southampton's St Mary's Stadium for urinating on seats in the away end and being thrown out of a derby match in 2003 for persistently refusing to sit down when ordered to by stewards. However, he was in the crowd on 13 February 2010, when Portsmouth defeated Southampton 4–1 in the fifth round of the FA Cup. along with the 2–2 draw in the Championship on 7 April 2012.
In September 2007 he played in the Premier League Allstars on Sky Sports, playing as a celebrity fan for Portsmouth.
Westwood was not permitted to take any instruments to the 2008 FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, a match won by Portsmouth.
