Football Teams With Amazing Names

Recommended Posts

Basically what it says on the tin : What football teams have amazing names?

 

I think that Rot Weiss Essen is a brilliant name for anything.

 

Fao you : Yes, you. I don't know who you are yet, but everyone's already heard about Deportivo Wanka, so go away. Cheers.

Deportivo La Coruna... always liked that one. Total Network solutions is another favourite.

Think they're 'The New Saints' now, mate. :(

 

'Airbus UK' always make me chuckle. Imagine the songs.

would imagine the press/commentators would love all the plane jokes you could do i.e. "Airbus UK are flying in the league" or "they have great players on the wing." etc

there are so many cool US team names. "Red Bull Salt Lake" "The Colarado Rapids" "Chicago Fire"

 

Always amused me that hard as nails juniors would plays for teams with names like Ormiston Primrose and Stonehouse Violets. Cue 'War of the Roses' between the Bonnyrigg and Lithgae boys ;) But the prize has to go to Bill Shankly's home town team, Glenbuck Cherrypickers.

Not a club name but... :Dhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argelico_****s

 

"Some of ****s' fame stems arguably from his peculiar (at least to English-speakers) sounding name which resembles forms of the English profanity "****". This has led to a variety of double-entendre headlines including a(n)(in)famous one from Eurosport.com entitled "Argel ****s off to Benfica" [3]. This headline received press coverage itself with The Register calling it "snappy and eye-catching"[4] and football humour site Laugh FC deeming it "one of the all time greats"[5]."

Heart of Midlithuania. So there, I've said it, before a Hibby does.

Norway's Hamkameratene has always had a certain ring to me. The name means "The Ham(ar) comrades".

 

Mind you, I'm a Brann (fire) man myself.

Kaiser Cheifs. Was a great name, even before the band imo

 

Most people will of coarse realise that this is where the band get their name from. Lucas Radebe signed for leeds from Kaiser chiefs

Dynamo Mince. Well known Hibby Aidan Smith played for them.

 

There was a team at Edinburgh Uni, after Willie Johnston drug-related departure from the World Cup, called Racing Fencanphamin.
