    Well, following on from the question regarding body parts, how many teams in England top 4 divisions have a body part in their name ?
    I should add that I am the arbiter of this question - and I can accept slang, non-technical and possibly rude names !

    I would say 15 - including 'chest', 'mouth', 'ham' and 'liver'. 16 if we include Arsenal and 17 if we are very vulgar and include Scunthorpe ?

    I've got more , including the very vulgar one. I'm sorry if anyone is offended by that inclusion.

    Since this question proved to about as popular as treading on a dog turd, I'll push it along.
    I have got 22 + A*senal & Sc***horpe. I reckon most people will find 19, but 22 ... ?

    I thought 'Bristols' was slang, not sexist. I am certainly not trying to offend anyone.
    Anyway, What have you got that isn't mouth,chest, ham,liver, or Bristol ?

    I thought about that - but assumed that human body parts had been implied from the Scottish version.
    However, that puts me in a bind regarding my 22nd. body part. It is an animal body part , referred to in a familiar phrase as a human one.
    Anyway, have a go - and it's over to you whenever we wrap this up.

    Or, a body part replacement, Wigan?

    Ramsbottom aren't in the league are they <laugh> I can only come up with the steptoes ! Unless Watford foot ball club counts. I do remember that some animals have a craw (something to do with the digestive tract) so Crawley Town ?

    Yes - I believe a birds throat is known as the craw. So Crawlry town it was - in my system.
    It's a goodob I didn't trawl every club name looking for foot !
    I didn't know about the slang meaning of wig - sorry.

    Anyway, over to Cologne.

    All yours BB. Coming from the official marching song of the French Foreign Legion 'Le Boudin'. The rolled equipment above a Legionnaires rucksack of the 19th Century resembled the form of a French blood sausage and the song refers to the Legion going to war where the Belgian members of the Legion remained in Algeria at the behest of King Leopold of Belgium. Over to you.

    Just as an aside, my neighbour makes boudin, and they are very tasty and filling. There is also a white version that we are told are not worth buying.
