An absolutely sensational site is the Football Club History Database. It's an archive job on thousands of sides to have played senior football (soccer) in the UK.
A few of my favourite team names found so far,
Abergavenny Thursdays
Birmingham College of Food
Birmingham Corporation Tramways
Black Lane Temperance
Derby Carriage and Wagon
Folkestone Invicta
Gascoine Estate Crew
Giffen Wheathampstead
Hawker Sidderley Dynamics Hatfield
Jarrow Roofing Boldon Community Association
Little Bloxwich Strollers
Middlesborough Ironopolis
National Smelting Company
New Brighton Tower
Number 23 PTC
Parliament Street Methodists
Post Office Telecoms
Rank Xerox
Washington Chemical Works
Wiltshire County Mental Hospital
An awesome piece of historical reference. Even if only to highlight team names that entertain me. I'm such a sucker for these sorts of things.
