Football (soccer) pop quiz - Team Names

AlexB · 11-09-2006, 02:16 PM

Inspired by the QPR question in the FM2007 thread, there are 22 [no there's not, there's 21 - the fact the 22nd doesn't exist made the last one a little hard to get!] team name endings in the English Football League & Premier League. Can you name them all?

Names like Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, etc do not count - it has to be a distinct suffix.

Edit - it would help if I actually typed the number of names wouldn't it!

Edit 2 - I'll update the List in this thread - all 21 found!

Albion
Alexandra
Argylle
Athletic
City
County
Dons
Forest (often followed by 'scum')
Hotspur
North End
Orient
Palace
Rangers
Rovers
Stanley
Town
United
Vale
Villa
Wanderers
Wednesday

Doh! I'll edit the top post - there's 23 team suffixes...

Edit - I've taken on more than I can cope with - Dons were there, there are only 22!

Butter · 11-09-2006, 02:29 PM

"Motors", isn't there a Vauxhall Motors? Or does that not count because it's a brand?

SirFozzie · 11-09-2006, 02:29 PM

Alexandra (crewe)

ISiddiqui · 11-09-2006, 02:30 PM

Is a team, but they're not in the league (League 2 and above is the 'Football League')

SirFozzie · 11-09-2006, 02:32 PM

Orient.

ISiddiqui · 11-09-2006, 02:34 PM

Harriers (Kidderminister - my fav city name

)

AlexB · 11-09-2006, 02:35 PM

AlexB · 11-09-2006, 02:35 PM

No longer in the league... Also had to check this one - i really should have put more research into this!

ISiddiqui · 11-09-2006, 02:36 PM

Does the Palace in Crystal Palace count?

ISiddiqui · 11-09-2006, 02:41 PM

Hmm.. I think I'll try for an assist. I seem to remember a team called Port.. something. For the life of me, I can't remember the suffix. Hopefully I've given someone a hint they needed.

PraetorianX · 11-09-2006, 02:42 PM

lkklj

Katon · 11-09-2006, 02:43 PM

(Port) Vale

Butter · 11-09-2006, 02:43 PM

There's a Port Vale, but that's a place name, isn't it?

SirFozzie · 11-09-2006, 02:44 PM

Ipswitch Town amongst other

Vale is 21. One more out there

ISiddiqui · 11-09-2006, 02:49 PM

Manchester United Dirty Cheating Bastards

Oh... that's not an official team ending? Well, it should be!

PraetorianX · 11-09-2006, 02:51 PM

Only thing I could think of is Borough (Stevenage Borough...but they're in Conference), everything else is mentioned or F.C./A.F.C.

AlexB · 11-09-2006, 02:54 PM

My bad. The other team I had down have been relegated as well. I was thinking of Rushden & Diamonds... Waht with a false quiz and decapost, this hasn't been a good ten minutes

Grabs coats and runs from pub....

PraetorianX · 11-09-2006, 03:15 PM

Well, regardless, I think we can all agree, HOTSPUR is the best.

Follow up could be the old question about which three English League Soccer teams have a swear (cuss) word in their name?
