A few extra crackers from Scotland
Civil Service Strollers
Burntisland Shipyard
Inverurie Loco Works
and we shouldn't forget that Livingston began life as Ferranti Thistle (via Meadowbank)
In Europe there is also of course
PSV (Philips Sport Vereniging) Eindhoven
...and we should not move on without an honorary mention for the close shave that was Coventry Talbot?
Nice one, flicktokick! I must admit to having a soft spot for Civil Service Strollers. A marvellous name if ever there was one!
And well done for spotting PSV too. I was going to include it but left it out as Phillips isn't generally mentioned in full during your average conversation about Dutch football. It's there if you look for it, though!
Coventry Talbot doesn't even bear thinking about... :)
