I have had the same thing happen to me with made up football names. There are of course many people who are supporters of other clubs who still like to refer to Arsenal as "Woolwich Arsenal" so maybe Arsenal fans ought to start using the oldest names of other teams. I must look up what Tottenham's earliest name was. It is years since I saw Sheffield Wednesday, but I do recall way back in the 1970s their supporters still chanted "The Wednesday, The Wednesday" Geoffrey – nice one.

For a comic project I'm working on, I actually used "Sheffield Rovers" as a fictitious renaming of Sheffield Wednesday! I had no idea about the real one, or that it had been sort of validated by history! (FWIW, Sheffield United is "Sheffield City" in this comic) HOLY CRAP!
