In this thread we post weird football team names - there are some
beauties out there.
I just stumbled across the "Go Ahead Eagles", which play in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.
Yours please.

Buffon
It's actually Young Boys of Berne
Heart of Midlothian - if not a weird name - is certainly owned and staffed by weirdos
Actually, I'll take that back Buffon - on wiki it's FC Young Boys - but they do play in the Wankdorf stadium
Third Lanark, is also a quite unusual name, it orginating from Third Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers

Quite a few funny Croatian ones, but my favourite would be Hrvatski
Dragovoljac, which translates to Croatian Volunteer.
And one of the biggest clubs in Bosnia is called Zeljeznicar, which translates to Railway Worker.
And all the teams named after Greek gods/demi-gods always cracked me up.

After 'Deportivo Wanka' how could you get better than that?! This

I went to a match outside of Dakar, in Senegal, between Xeulu and
Jocko.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

yes Stewsmum were one of our nemesis teams in div 8- such was the rancour in team emails that stewsmum became our substitute for a bad word to get around workplace email regulations
as in you wouldn't stewsmum believe it-
We always thought it was a biot like stifflers mum from American Pie- so we'd always look out for Stew in your team!
no hard feelings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, Capital Soccer list us as MW's on their website to keep a family friendly image.
Also, don't forget another great Karori side, the Slapperz.
