European Cup (thread II)

Fairplay City they were outstanding tonight. They were a one man team against Bayern, but every single City player played their part tonight.

 

Not really, Fran. The question was, "wonder what the Anglo-Saxon spelling for Basle is?" As a completely North-West Germanic language, Old English would have been much nearer(or the same) as the German spelling. Still, you have a point. It's only a matter of time before the Beeb insists we refer to "Paree" and Munchen

Actually, Chilco and Sotonist aren't too far from the mark....it derived from the Latin name Basilea (Greek Βασιλει&#945 meaning Imperial or Kingship, and the root of the name Basil, the most famous denizen of Torquay.
