Football club names that for no other reason than you just like them.

[Lord Bracknell]

Barcelona Bevendean?

If only ...

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

Buckey Thistle
Inverurie Loco Works

 

[deenomeet]

Clyde. Only because i allways imagine a big hairy urangutang playing on his own against 11 men!

 

[patchamalbion]

Racing Santander

 

[JetsetJimbo]

Deportivo Wanka

I was hoping someone would name-check Peru's finest, although regrettably they don't exist anymore afaik. I think Argentina's Deportivo Moron are still going though.

Bolivia boasts a club called "The Strongest" and another called "Club Destroyers". I wouldn't fancy refereeing a game between those two. Bolivia also has a "Club Always Ready", so I suspect odd team names are a bit of a thing there.

It's tough trying to decide which is my favourite club name though. Norways FL Fart is a good one, not least because they play at the Fartbana stadium. I think, though, I'd have to pick KFC (yes, KFC, not FC) Winterslag of Belgium, because there are just so many possibilities with that one. Shame they don't exist anymore, they're part of Racing Genk now. If I had to pick a club that still exists, it'd be Insurance Management Bears of the Bahamas, just for the mental image.

Page 4 and no-one has mentioned St Etienne for the abbreviated badge A.S.S.E.!

 

[Blackadder]

Berwick Rangers. English side always battling it out in the Scottish leagues. They are usually in the lowest league but I still look out for their results. Funnily enough I do not look out for the Scottish Prem results at all.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Barcelona Bevendean?

If only ...

Played them a few weeks back

Just look at the A-League there are some awful/great names there.

 

[Capricorn]

Blyth Spartans. Also, look at that crest!

 

[Leekbrookgull]

I know it is not quite the same, but Fleetwood from the BSPrem are nick-named The Cod Army. Love it.

Bedlington Terriers FC , just imagine all of them sticking their heads out of the car windows looking smug after a particularly satisfying win against Airedale United, awesome!
