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

[Seagulls4life]

Wolves for me!

 

[RexCathedra]

Actually, you can't beat "Brighton Hove Albion Seagulls." It scans as the end of a hexameter verse -- BRIGH•ton Hove AL•bi•on SEA•gulls, like something out of Homer or Vergil. Very epic.

As a boy over here, I used to love listening to the results Saturday night on BBC World Service shortwave. I knew nothing about the pools at the time, and could just revel in the poetry...

"Wolverhampton Wanderers, nil; Tottenham Hotspur nil..."

 

[WhingForPresident]

Zimbabwean side Wankie FC, Insurance Management Bears from Barbados and apparently Botswana has Botswana Meat Commission FC, Naughty Boys, Killer Giants, Triple Action, Home Sweepers, Golden Bush and Man Machine

"University of Texas Longhorns 17; Syracuse 17
Michigan State 38; Ohio State 48...."

 

[Yeovil Saint]

I was always partial to a couple of team names in the Welsh Alliance League, Locomotive Llanberis and Penmaenmawr Phoenix. The Phoenix are still going on but Locos have dropped the name and now go by CPD Llanberis.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

FCC metalist Kharkiv

I read that as mentalist....what a brilliant name for a team.


Hamilton acedemicals
