FC Slutsk - Belarus

Plenty more out there I'm sure, and you can't have Hibs 'cos they're just shite.

I know you said we weren’t allowed Hibs, but this one is sooo similar, I had to do it.

 

Deportivo Moron, from Argentina.

 

Honestly, it’s true..

I've seen some silly names but can't remember them so I was looking around and found this one 12 de Octubre from Paraguay

 

Actually just looked a bit further and noticed there is a few from Paraguay similar  3 De Febrero and 2 de Mayo

Closer to home, (well, sort of, Coatbridge is foreign to me) Albion Rovers. 

 

Two suffixes cobbled together that suggest nothing of the identity of the club or it's town or origins.

I always thought it started as a works team after an Albion Motors/Metals/Engines whatever.  Like Ferranti Thistle?

How did I guess that the Wanka's would play in green and white.

Chin United and Shan United , Myanmar  clubs.

I've been using Shan United for my fantasy team name for a while now. It was just a play on words of Man United and then I found out it's actually a team. :lol: 

 

God bless online gambling.

Had a wee look. It was a merger of two clubs in Coatbridge: Albion and Rovers. Must have been up all night...😊

The Old Tolbooth

There's a team in Trinidad and Tobago called Joe Public, always liked that one

 

Joe Public F.C. - Wikipedia

 

The we have Botswana Meat Commission FC

 

Botswana Meat Commission - Club profile | Transfermarkt

 

Taumata FC in New Zealand, wait until you read this one! (copied and pasted)

Named after a hill in New Zealand, this 40-syllable disgrace of a town name translates enjoyably as: “The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower, who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.”

 

FC Santa Claus in Finland

And my own dream team name is Exeter Gently :)

The standard answer to this question used to Dangerous Darkies FC from South Africa but they don’t exist anymore.

Really? Must have taken up mindfulness or something.

AC Milanda and Borussia Marchmontgladbach, both Edinburgh amateur sides from the 70s.

AC Milanda were from Penicuik, weren’t they?

I'm not sure. I thought they were connected with the Milanda bakery which was at Sighthill.

Did Larry Kingston’s team not have the name ‘Hearts’ in it, before he joined the Famous Hearts?

That’s the one.

 

I think he played for them twice, once before coming to us, and again, when he left.

 

Just couldn’t get the name, thanks.  :thumbsup:

From an over 35's five a side league back in the late 70's, some of the team names which I can recall

 

The Auld Farts

Beavers

Goalie's wife's lovers

IRA/UDA United (I recall they were forced to change their name) to- Jesus Christ Superstars!!!!!!

Rentboys

Local Branch A.A.

Mandy Rice's Tongue

That's all I can remember. The league was disbanded after about 18 months by the local council  after receiving a large number of complaints!
