    Vale. Though like Palace that forms part of the name, rather than being a suffix, so I don't usually count that.

    That’s 9

    Some of them aren’t ADDITIONAL to the ones in England. So you can’t have four of them. :smile:

    +county so at least 12 in Scotland

    Yeah, but you didn’t read the question properly... :smile:

    Some obvious one's that has been forgotten about because you don't really associate them with a last name...

    (Crystal) Palace
    (Sheffield) Wednesday
    (Leyton) Orient

    Then some others I thought about
    (Port) Vale
    (Stevenage) Borough
    (MK) Dons

    I will concede, on reflection, that there are 7 ADDITIONAL last names in Scotland, not 6. I think.
    Also, due to the source I used listing Stevenage BOROUGH as simply Stevenage, there are 21 last names in England.
    Apologies. I am appropriately ashamed...

    Think Stevenage dropped borough. But may have kept boro as a nickname

    I think Stevenage have dropped the Borough bit actually.

    Fair enough. Looks like Borough is out and it’s still 20 in total.

    Ok, spoiler alert if still playing, but if you’re wondering, here are the 20 (+ 6 7 in Bonnie Scotland)...













    England:

    Albion
    Alexandra
    Argyle
    Athletic
    City
    County
    Dons
    End
    Forest
    Hotspur
    Palace
    Rangers
    Rovers
    Stanley
    Town
    United
    Vale
    Villa
    Wanderers
    Wednesday

    + additional Scots names:

    Academical
    Fife
    Midlothian
    Morton
    Park
    South
    Thistle

    Incidentally, until recently we also had:

    Orient
    Redbridge

    which could feasibly be back next year, or we may see some new additions like:

    Moors (Solihull Moors)
    Waterlooville (Havant and Waterlooville)
    Wood (Boreham Wood - yes, two words)

    There are plenty of other unique names in the divisions below the National league, so we’ll be waiting at least 2 years for any of those.
    Which leads me to a follow up question....

    There’s another last name that has been in the football league this century which is now floundering 2 divisions below the league, in the 6th tier.
    Can you name the team?

    Surely some of those are place names IE Fife

    Yeah, I agree - I didn’t count it originally because I, (like you I think,) viewed East Fife as a similar case to St Mirren, for example. But I didn’t explicitly say East Fife wasn’t allowed, hence I added it in later.

    Bradford Park Avenue

    No. They’re in the 6th tier, but not played in the league this century.

    Middlesbrough Ironopolis

    Er...no. :smile:

    Millwall is actually the second part of their name.

    WankyWankyWanky Millwall being their actual name.
