Just as some light relief from demonstrators at Arsenal (bit of a clue for a question later one),
the African Cup, Leicester City and what will happen to Klopp?,
I found a list of original club names.We all know Manchester United were once known as Newton Heath LYR FC and Birmingham was Small Heath.
What about these 10 (with foundation dates):
AFC Bournemouth 1890, Arsenal 1886, Everton 1878, Liverpool 1892, Manchester City 1880, Newcastle United 1881, Stoke City 1863, Tottenham Hotspur 1882, West Bromwich Albion 1878 and West Ham United 1895.
Bristol Rovers were known as the Black Arabs (1882)
Coventry City- Singers FC (1883)
Leyton Orient- Eagle Cricket Club (1886)
Oldham Athletic- Pine Villa (1895)
Have a look
