what prem club has 1066 on its badge?

[Amsterdam Albion]

Battle of Stamford Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think it is quite amazing that he (Harold) could have won against the Normans so soon after fighting the Vikings

yes thanks i have edited my post to acknowledge my poor grasp of english history.

thanks a lot again amsterdam

 

[Amsterdam Albion]

does it have to be a football club or just a premier club?

Maybe Chelsea ?

Stamford Bridge (for those that dont know), is home to one of the football Premiership teams based in London. The team is Chelsea and what a home they have! I have been there a couple of times now thanks to a season ticket holder at work. What a difference it is to some of the 3rd division side's grounds I normally visit. Firstly, lets not confuse it with the famous battle it was named after! This occured in 1066, 3 weeks before the famous "battle .

i dont understand how that has anything to do with chelsea's badge?

Exactly and those premiership footballers who moan like hell when they have to play a european game the same week and a league game

i am a f***ing idiot.

slap yourself

 

[bn3gunner]

can someone please explain - seems a bit stupid -there doesnt appear to be an answer-1066 is not on the chelski badge-which was the question

 

[sams dad]

1066 in Roman numerals is MLXVI - does any Premier League club incorporate this(or something similar) in their badge

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The Battle of Stamford Bridge was just before the battle of Hastings

An early example of the bad effect that fixture congestion can have on results.

And they had to walk between fixtures.

Leaving aside the factual error, the maths is also pretty poor. The English Civil War was well and truly over within 600 years of the Norman invasion.

From Chelsea official site

Why is it called Stamford Bridge?
The name and place of Stamford Bridge is one with great significance in English history having been the site in Yorkshire of one of the most famous battles of King Harold's reign in 1066 against the Vikings. However it is believed that this is not connected to the naming of Chelsea's football stadium.

Stamford Bridge is the name of the road bridge carrying the Fulham Road over the
railway line next to the ground. There used to be a station there!

The nearby bridge over the Kings Road id called Stafford Bridge.

I thought Aston Villa used to have 1066 on their badge

 

[Pavilionaire]

Ironically, £1066 is about the amount Frank Lampard gets every minute he plays for Chelsea - is that the connection?...

 

[northstandnorth]

just to clarify

the question i posted was from a pub quiz last night(my son tried a cheeky text to see if i knew) the answer given at the end was chelsea.

many on here are right that NO team in the prem has got 1066 on its badge so the quizmaster got the question wrong.

as many have pointed out I KNOW f*** ALL ABOUT HISTORY and got the time spacing between the various 1066 wars and english civil war wrong too.

BUT thanks to all who have tried(and succeded) to help

 

[surrey jim]

well which club is it then, just done an image search of all teams and cant work it out myself.

(assuming its the English Football Permership and not another one)
