    Named after a school/college founded by one Isaac Newell.

    Good shout


    Or, the grand old duke of YORK, he had ten thousand men, he marched them up to the top of the hill and he marched them down again.

    Do nursery rhymes count?

    I think Crewe are named after the hotel where the club was founded. Presumably the hotel was named after a person so they are indirectly.
    York is a good one! Lateral thinking- like it.
    Neither are the one I was thinking of though.

    I should probably have said there is at least one English one!

    The 'Alexandra' is named after Princess Alexandra. So they are named after a person directly! Good eh?

    It looks a tad like Yakubu, but I don't think it's him.
