Then I pick up the latest issue of When Saturday Comes, there's an article on the American Soccer League in season 1926-27 and there's teams called: Springfield Babes Fall River Marksmen Boston Wonder Workers Providence Clamdiggers Newark Skeeters Indiana Flooring None as good as Heart of Midlothian but all better than Motherwell or Dundee or Kilmarnock or Cowdenbeath........

You're not wrong, plus their very name has given us the term Hibsed it. You would have struggled to do that if they were called Leith United or Edinburgh Rovers. Pioneers, way ahead of their time.

If you don't like any of those, there's always Eleven Wonders. Meanwhile in Sierra Leone, you could go to the East End Lions v East End Tigers derby.

Well, at least to be consistent after they named their team after natives of another country, they then named their ground after a road on which their stadium ISN'T located. A bit like our team being called Cymry and our ground being called Ardmillan Terrace Stadium. And that would just be stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
