Equally OT, and pending a response from the Man from Uncle, you bring to mind a recent letter from The Grauniad:
I read your account of Spurs Champions League with a little sadness (
Sport, 18 August). In 1972, during a stay in Berne, I attended a football match between the Stuttgart Lions and the Young Boys. The match was completely unmemorable but the full team names on the scoreboard were not. The name of the Young Boys' then stadium, "Wankdorf", preceded the current club name. I fear that the spread of English vernacular by football fans has reduced the opportunities for such unintended and innocent amusement.
