Joe Public

By Simon Varwell

Thanks to this article in BBC News, I have discovered that there is a football team in Trinidad and Tobago called Joe Public.

A quite magnificent name, I am sure you will agree. I for one feel significantly richer for this factoid.

Can you think of a more off-beat name for a football team?

    I’ve always been fascinated by the Dutch team called Go Ahead Eagles.

  4. Stephen Says:

    Sorry, that should be Go Ahead Eagles.

  5. Simon Varwell Says:

    Go Ahead Eagles is a great name – sounds like something that you’d say to a group of fighter pilots on military exercises.

  6. Mark Says:

    some of the welsh ones are great. Airbus, and (excuse spelling) flexis cefyn druids being favourites.

    Nothing beats Strathcarnage and Taste of Dunfermline though

  7. Simon Varwell Says:

    Indeed it doesn’t – see the result here.

  8. Justin Says:

    Kaizer Chiefs is a good one as well.

  9. Ryan Dunne Says:

    I always liked Sky’s “They’ll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight”.

    How about “Supersport United”, South Africa? I wonder how “super” they really are.

    Or “Telecom Wanderers”, Malawi…
