Jonathon Meades is a rambling fruitcake
Some of us like fruitcake! On a serious note his TV series are generally excellent but I don't touch the nonsense he writes for the Guardian et al.

Everton???
Everton don't play in Everton, hence not named after the town they play in.
What on earth was Meades doing talking about Scottish football? Laugh
Will pick that up as he's very good.
It was more about architecture really but it was interesting to see the clubs. As per normal with JM, it's best watched with a dictionary to hand then you get to find out what 'neo-brutalism' (etc, etc)is!!

Feynoord?
Look at their badge 
lol yeah, it says "feynoord rotterdam" but is that are they officially known as?
Young Boys Bern story (I promise this is 100% true!!):
It's long been remarked as ironic that Young Boys play in the Wankdorf Stadium. On a similar point, they were playing Spurs a couple of years ago and a Channel Five commentator (can't remember who) said: "Spurs should win this. Young Boys very rarely keep clean sheets."

There's Swallows, Leopards, Chiefs and Pirates. Plus Celtic, Ajax and Amazulu - which of course was an 80's girl-band who had a major hit with "Too Good To Be Forgotten".

Port Vale is an abbreviation of the previous name Burslem Port Vale, which was named after the town, and the Port Vale, I think, is a reference to the pub in which the club was founded. Or something like that.
