Fantasy Football League Team Names

Beezer's picture

I was inveigled to set up a fantasy league team here at work to fill out the membership last autumn. I'm currently the 'foundation' of the league. Oh dear.

I was impressed by some of the punning that goes on with these things and wondered if any members of the Massive have their own or know of any belters?

I stole mine from a friends pub team of some time ago. I recall I laughed like a numpty when I first heard it

Inter Me Nan.

Any similar?

In honour of Red Squadron from Star Wars

. . or Black Squadron from Adam and Joe, maybe, my current team name is

Taupe Squadron

But the best one I've ever seen is from a bloke called Dan Looker (that's important) - his team was

Danlooker Vialli

I like to combine my football team with my music

So was rather proud of 'Gwladys Street Preachers' a season or two ago.

Rather less happy with 'Kings of Leon (Osman)' though.

11 Moustachioed Daughters...

...would be a Word friendly choice.


Longer standing members also know that it is a natural law of threads that sooner or later the Bonzos get raised. I see you have the same problem with oyour trousers that I do.

I was proud of that one.

A mate of mine used to come up with the best ones though. He had Inter Animals one year, followed by Borussia Munchenpillowcase.

Dylan and football

My team was crap. I like Dylan. Naturally, that led to Tangled Up In Poo.

great minds etc...

There's a "Norfolkenchance" in my league too. Unfortunately for him, it's a very apt name. My team is Barnstoneworth United, which may ring a few bells if you ever saw Ripping Yarns - though I'm ashamed to say I can't name the players. Not in my league, but near the top of the overall positions I noticed "Obi Wan Kenobi nil".

A real pleasure. Enjoy your next trip to Cairo. Thanks for letting us know how the Ganges turns to soup at lowtide!

my fantasy cricket team

is called 'Interstella Coverdrive'

I run a pub quiz in the local (and do it for nothing if anyone from the benefits office is reading). The team who reguarly win it are called 'Bring Out Yer Ma's Crack Pipe'

before obesity consigned me

to the sofa and the fucking One show, I was part of a team comprising mainly Scottish lads with a pale smattering of Irish and English. We played out of London's Clissold Park and proudly called ourselves Clissold Thistle. (yes yes,when we managed to win, we'd sing our team's name to the tune of Rebel Rebel)
