    Ah...forgot about Wrexham.


    This is turning into a football trivia thread....not that there's anything wrong with that.
    Back in the day (well, my day) there were 5 teams with an 'x'. Halifax Town aren't around anymore, although FC Halifax Town sprang from their ashes. Still not in the League, though.

    Were Oxford United mentioned yet?

    The tube stop was called Arsenal when built in the 30s after the soccer club. It’s not an actual place. The Soccer team are from the Royal Munitions Arsenal in Woolwich and only relocated to north of the river a few decades earlier.

    Crystal Palace was a massive structure built in 19th century to house some international event. The bbc had a massive aerial there and at some point it stopped being the crystal place and became Crystal Palace.
