Help... football question

marksparks999 (Elite) posted this on Wednesday, 25th January 2006, 07:06

Apparently there are three teams in the Enlish Leagues that have a name that has nothing to with where they are based/named after their town/city... i have two...

1. Arsenal (named after the Woolwich Arsenal)
2. Port Vale (actually no such pplace they are in Burslam)

so who is the third team?

Anybody :x

I always thought they were named after the mints. Hence their nickname - `the toffees`. Dumb scousers. :D

Its most likely to be Queens Park Rangers. There is an area called queens park, but it it the other side of london to where they play.

It could be manchester United, as they are in Salford not Manchester.
