Unique football club names in this country
It never ceases to amaze me how some clubs have got their names since competitive football started in this country. In a lot of cases it's interesting to me and maybe other football fans how they originated in the first place . The latest one brought to my attention is a little known team in Es*** who play in the Isthmian League and who go by the name of Brightlingsea Regent which I am told is an amalgamation of two clubs. A bit like Rushden And Diamonds really in a similar vein. Going to the other end of the scale you could include Sheffield Wednesday as well as a few others if you took time out to look into it. There may even be scope on this subject for a radio / tv programme . The choice and stories behind some of these clubs would be endless but very interesting all the same. Anyone else want to mention a few more and the story behind the name ?
