Inspired by the QPR question in the FM2007 thread, there are 22 [no there's not, there's 21 - the fact the 22nd doesn't exist made the last one a little hard to get!] team name endings in the English Football League & Premier League. Can you name them all?
Names like Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, etc do not count - it has to be a distinct suffix.
Edit - it would help if I actually typed the number of names wouldn't it!
Edit 2 - I'll update the List in this thread - all 21 found!
Albion
Alexandra
Argylle
Athletic
City
County
Dons
Forest (often followed by 'scum')
Hotspur
North End
Orient
Palace
Rangers
Rovers
Stanley
Town
United
Vale
Villa

Doh! I'll edit the top post - there's 23 team suffixes... :)
Edit - I've taken on more than I can cope with - Dons were there, there are only 22!

AlexB

FC? or AFC?
Fraid not - AFC is part of some quiz question (from AFC Bournemouth), but not one of these answers...

Hmm.. I think I'll try for an assist. I seem to remember a team called Port.. something. For the life of me, I can't remember the suffix. Hopefully I've given someone a hint they needed.

Only thing I could think of is Borough (Stevenage Borough...but they're in Conference), everything else is mentioned or F.C./A.F.C.
AlexB

My bad. The other team I had down have been relegated as well. I was thinking of Rushden & Diamonds... Waht with a false quiz and decapost, this hasn't been a good ten minutes :)
Grabs coats and runs from pub....

Well, regardless, I think we can all agree, HOTSPUR is the best.
