Subject nicknames of British football clubs is very interesting and, although quite often rises as the press and the Internet, but to collect all the decoding of nicknames in one place, it seems no one has yet tried. Will attempt to fill this gap by a series of materials about the nicknames of clubs of different leagues. Let’s start from the top – with the Premier League.

Chelsea

Nicknames: “blue”, “retired”, “Aristocrats” (only in the CIS)

Well, with “blue” is clear – Chelsea play in the form of royal blue color since time immemorial, and call them “blue” was logical and justified. Nickname “retired” due to the first emblem of Chelsea, which flaunted a veteran of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, which is located in the same area as the “Stamford Bridge. Nickname “retired” for the time it was considered offensive, but now, when the first Russian-speaking fans of Chelsea are understood to be applied quite broadly and gently replaces it is not clear who had taken from the nickname “The Aristocrats,” which appeared exclusively in the territory of the former Soviet Union (there are version, that the will of a respected and well-known newspapers).

Arsenal

Nickname: “Gunners”

Here everything is simple – the nickname “Gunners” went from the first emblem of the club, which (as the club) was established workers armory Royal Woolwich Arsenal. Three guns first became one, then disappeared for a while to come back and do not leave the logo of Arsenal to the present day.

Manchester United

Nickname: “Red Devils”

Relatively youthful nickname, which was copied by the famous Matt Busby at the rugby team “Salford”, which “MJ” lived in the same hotel during a trip to France. Nickname stuck and replaced the old “Busby Babes”, which are consumed only in relation to that famous team, crashed in a plane crash. In 1970, the Devil was officially placed on the logo of the club, and since then the nickname is inextricably linked to mankuniantsami. Incidentally, in recent years on the Internet is widespread misconception that mankuniantsami can be called only fans Manchester United. This is plainly wrong, for so-called all the inhabitants of the city Manchester, because of the ancient Roman name of the area – Mankunium.

Liverpool

Nickname: “red”

Red form – the “red” nickname, all the banal. But at the same time, it is worth noting that to ensure that the mention of Nick’s “red” in the color turned to England, recalled in the first place Liverpool had to try very hard. Nickname “skauzery” – this is not the monopoly of the fans, Liverpool are thought to enter for many “red” and the names of all the inhabitants of the city. That is, the fans and Everton too. All because of the terrible promiscuous, even for the English dialect of the inhabitants of Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur

Nicknames: “spurs”, “purple-white”

In the north London area of Tottenham in ancient times lived in semi-legendary Sir Henry Percy, nicknamed Harry Hot Spur for very impulsive temper. It is known that he was born in Northumberland and became famous as a brave warrior in the battles with the Scots and the French, frequent at that time – XIV century. Harry was a regular member of the royal intrigue is not without its assistance to the future King Henry IV was able to throw off the throne of his cousin Richard, but then he himself was killed during an uprising against the same Henry IV in 1403. During the battle, Harry raised his visor to breathe the air and immediately got an arrow buried itself in the face. Immediately after the battle, King, do not hide tears ordered to bury Harry, but later, after rumors began to circulate about the fact that the rebel Hotspur alive, his body was dug up and separated into four parts, sent to all parts of Britain, his head pinned to the gates of York. Exactly he gave Tottenham Hotspur nickname “spurs”. It is said, not only them, but many other teams in the area, but since have survived until our days, only “Tottenham Hotspur”, then all the others, such as older “London Hotspur were forgotten. “Lilac and white – the color forms, is used very rarely.

Everton

One of the most unusual nicknames for Everton. There are several versions of its appearance. According to one of their nickname has gone from the tradition of the nearby shops Mother Noblett sell match day menthol candy with the name of the club, which now give away during the match for free. According to another legend, the nickname has gone from the confectionery Everton toffee House “, which is located near the” Goodison “. “Black Watch” – because of the black form, which was a spare for Everton since time immemorial (it is now the club had reverted). “People’s Club” – at times appearing and disappearing nickname, which like to use on their banners “evertonians. “Blue” – everything is clear, by analogy with “Chelsea” – the color of the form, royal blue.

Aston Villa

The most common nickname of “villein,” which went from the name of the club, which in turn comes from the name of the chapel Villa Cross Wesleyan. “Lions” – because of the presence of a lion in the logo of the club, but this nickname is used very rarely.

Birmingham

Nicknames: “blue”

Besides the traditional nickname for the color and shape is sometimes used in another – “sinenosye, but this is more offensive option, as used by fans” villeins. ”

Blackburn Rovers

Nicknames: “vagabond”, “blue and white”

“Rogue” – is actually the second half of the title, ie “Rovers” – a very popular nickname at the time of the birth of football, which are several English clubs. But the most famous “tramp” – is, of course, “Blackburn. Second nickname of “blue and white displays a half-blue and white T-shirt of the club, which in fact has never changed its design.

Bolton

Nicknames: “trotters”, “wanderers”, “white”

An interesting legend in the nickname “Bolton. She says that at the dawn of existence of the club field located near the pigsty, where players are often at a trot to run after the ball flown away. Also, “Bolton” in ancient times very often changed stadiums, he chose his nickname – “Wanderers”, ie “wanderers”.

Those lands, where “Craven Kottadzh” has long belonged to the family Krevenov, in particular Baron William Kreyvenu, and later – the famous Anne Boleyn. Also the area where based Fulham has long been dacha, and only later, when London had grown up to excessive valuations, was actually the center of the city. Since “white”, I think everything is clear.

Hull

Nickname: Tigers

Throughout its history, “Hull” wore black and amber colors, and the emblem of the club was a tiger, hence the nickname “Tigers”. For a time the Tigers were toothless, representing the largest city, which has never played in the Premiership, until finally in the 2007/08 season is not broke in the Premier League.

Manchester City

Nicknames: “citizens”, “Blue Moon”

C “citizens” all clear – the prefix “City” always carries with it the nickname virtually all clubs. But Manchester City has another background in this nicknamed – the fact that the fans of this club believe (it is worth to say that quite rightly) that in the city of Manchester, their club is more popular than Manchester United, for which more ill in London and around the world. “Blue Moon” – a traditional song fans “MC” (not to be confused with a work by Boris Moiseyev) – a rather melancholic, but at the same time referring to the heroic ballads. She seemed to display the essence of team, such a thing as “typical City” – is when a team wins a strong club, but the next game “merges” the underdog, or place in Champions’ Cup, and then flies out of the team third division.

Portsmouth

Nicknames: “Pump”, “Blue Army”, “Turks”

One of the most interesting and mysterious is the story of the emergence of nicknames Portsmouth. Here again, as in the case with “Everton”, there are several versions. The first – the nickname has gone from the name of a French ship which was hijacked and taken to Portsmouth. The second – a group of sailors from Portsmouth, landed in Alexandria, where is the famous Pompeian column, which gave the name “Pompeian guys. The third version says that everything went on indications that the sailors calling at Portsmouth put a note in the journal “Pom P”, which could be read as “pump”. In general, versions of one another enigmatic, and the truth, most likely, we will never know. As for the “Turkish” nicknames, it is used rarely, and went from the image of eight and a star and crescent, which are traditionally associated with Islam. According to legend, the city of Portsmouth gave King Richard I, when he returned from Cyprus – the characters are taken from the standard governor of the island Isaac Komnenosa.

Stoke

Nickname: “Potters”

Nickname stuck to the club from time immemorial because of the highly pottery industry in Stoke-on-Trent.

Sunderland

Finally it is drawn up, when 12-year-old Billy Morris brought the little black kitten in the FA Cup final 1937. Won Sunderland. Also, the command called “rokerity”, “rockers” because of the name of the old Stadium Roker Park, which was later replaced by the “Stadium of Light.” Mackem – translated as “delalschik”, “producer” or “davalschik” and refers only to the city of Sunderland, its suburbs and dialects. Alternative spelling – makem, maccam or mak’em. That’s because of this dialect and nickname first inhabitants of the city, and then the fans team makems.

West Ham

Nicknames: “hammer”, “hammers”, “hammer”, “Irons”, “iron”, “Academy of Football”

Nickname “hammers” or “hammer” (as in “Irons”, “iron”, “hammer”) comes from the old name of the club Thames Ironworks and hammers, placed on the emblem of the club, as well as from the incorrect derived from the word “Ham”. “Academy of Football” – a modern-used nickname to emphasize the contribution of human resources team in modern England – almost half of the key players of which – the pupils of West Ham.
