I would say Arsenal but I've never heard of Emma Wright
Sad that Leicester City's ground no longer stands as a monument to 1970s you-thought-he-was-Kenyan-but-in-fact-Tanzanian miling legend Filbert Bayi.
Kenyan athletics celebrated in Rotterdam at De Kuip Keino.
Isn't there a ground in Holland named after a bloke called Philip?

Did West Brom name their stadium after a woman of ill-repute?
Taunton Town possibly unique in that their Wordsworth Drive ground actually is named after the poet.
I think Kidderminster Harriers already named their ground after her, Aggborough. They even dropped the "H" in tribute to her cockney roots.
In recognition of a goalie who once saved three penalties in a game for them, Halifax named their ground after Shay Given.
Forget the grounds, the gooners have been renamed after their manager Arsene Wenger.
I understand that Mansfield Town named their ground after Birkenhead MP Frank Field and 19th Century philosopher John Stuart Mill.

Actually HH you're right in respect of it celebrating less enlightened days, but you may not be aware that the Spurs ground actually commemorates the little known (and entirely made up) mid 1970's 'love that dare not speak its name' tryst between corpulent soul legend Barry White and the aforementioned Tony Hart
Tony was a generous and committed lover by all accounts, but was left 'on the shelf' by Barry after Barry two-timed him with Johnny Ball, however 'The Shelf' terrace at the ground was named after this entirely fictitious act of duplicity by the bass-baritone lothario.
....or something.

I believe the home of Young Boys, the W@nkdorf was named after a George Michael gig there a few years ago.
I thought Coventry's ground was named after Bruce Rioch (Derby and Scotland)
