Yeah but the band named after them is pretty good!

FC Jazz from Finland. They folded a couple of years back but
there's a youth club still with the name.

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.

Or does Dairy Flat have an FC?
Dairy Flat VS Stop Out
only in NZ...
Actually with all the instant names on offer these days trying to be staunch or glorious (think Glory or Chiefs or heaven forbid Phoenix) what i actually like about football is the ingogruous names and or nick namesthat have devolped over many years- i.e the Railway men or the Hatters, or the Potters
Imagine a marketing man trying to pitch that:
"yeah we'll be the potters right cos theres lots of old potterry in the hills around Stoke and itll be awesome when we play the Shrimpers"
Silence...
"Shrimpers VS Potters- Youre' havin a laugh"
