English football quiz ⚽ 19:33 - Aug 19 with 989 views

A little quiz on football clubs and their (old) nicknames if anybody would like to have a go.

Twelve old nicknames of professional* clubs in England are given and it's just a case of identifying the correct team for each one. A few of these nicknames are still occasionally used today whereas others are not, but educated guesses will probably bring up many of the answers.

There are four minutes to try and get all 12 but do let me know if you think this isn't enough. Answers need to be entered into the corresponding highlighted boxes and you can move on to a different answer box if you are unsure of one by clicking/tapping/tabbing onto another.

As always, thank you for having a look.

* Ashington AFC of Northumberland (the most northerly team to ever play in the Football League) are nicknamed "The Colliers" but they aren't a professional club so they're not a valid answer in this quiz.

Thank you!

Average score so far is 5/12 (I've shared it on one other website) and only 18% of people know who the Biscuitmen were! That nickname needs to make a comeback.

Unfortunately, biscuit manufacturing in Reading (Huntley & Palmers) ceased in 1976 so I don't think that one's coming back.

“Arsenal” kept that part of their name despite moving away from the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich in 1913 — bring back the Biscuitmen! (though I don't mean bring them back up to the Championship as the third division is arguably their spiritual home)
