Unusual Football Team Names

[piggynose]

Mighty Blackpool, they play in the Sierra Leon league.
Greater Tomorrow, they play in the Gambia league.
Do you know any others?

I suppose there are lots of foreign teams whose names sound rather odd (Odd play in Norway) to us. During the close season in English football, i concentrate my accumulators in the minor European leagues and the weirdest name i've come across is Hafnarfjordur, an Icelandic outfit.
Could have been worse though as the official name of the area is Hafnarfjardarkaupstadur.

Chimney Corner, from Antrim town. Now in the Ballymena and District League: named, (as several other places in the locality) after a book by Alexander Irvine: the "chimney corner" was in the author's small cottage in the town, which has been preserved)

Hole in the Wall used to be a team in Mid Ulster, but there appears to have been a team with the same name in the Darlington area.

Slightly off topic, but just as East Fife 5, Forfar 4 may or may nor be a real score. I always wondered if Verdun 2, Troyes 4 had every happened in France.
