Millwall and I've always thought any team with a lion rampant in their crest (Villa, Middlesbrough etc) Probably wrong, right enough - a lion rampant isn't exclusively Scottish.
no-one researched barca's roots? I'm pretty sure they was formed by a bunch of proddies from england hence st george's cross on the badge one struggle
nah he was swiss http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Gamper (still a proddy though) edit: The founders included a collection of Swiss, British and Spanish enthusiasts. no surrender
The pronunciation of Celtic with a "k" sound wasn't popularised until the 1950s. Previous to that, the word Celtic was always pronounced with a soft C. Interestingly on Rangers name - it's always said that one of their founders saw the name of an English rugby team in a book (in a book ) Bob Crampsey used to have a whole page answering football trivia questions in the short-lived Weekend Times. According to "Mr Football", Rangers were amongst a host of teams at the time who took their name from not having their own ground. Names like Wanderers, Rovers, Trotters and Rangers were used by teams who didn't have a permanent home, apparently. Some might go a little further and suggest that, in that case, the name is simply a euphemism for Tinkers
Rangers formed in 1872, Northern ireland formed 1922. First kit was blue shirt, white shorts and blue and white hooped socks. The shirt changed to blue and white hoops until the mid 1880's. The black socks with red tops didn't appear until the early 20th century.
OK, Rangers historians - what the **** was your first shirt crest all about? please log in to view this image Should've re-introduced this while Bougherra and Kerkar were on the books
Correct. Moses McNeil one of the founding fathers of Rangers and a young fella at the time read about a rugby team in a book and liked the name. Whats wrong with that? I don't think you can laugh when your club was setup by a priest.
That would be Celtic considering the Scottish slang for Pikeys was considered Tinkers for a long time and still is.
Celtic weren't started by a priest, dumpling - he was a headmaster. I know "Brother" and "Father" are the same thing around your way but try and learn about the world around you.
