I've no idea why Charlton are called the Addicks/Addicts either, but now you mention it Ian, I have heard that term before, I'd forgot.

I think Arsenal are called the Gunners because yes, they used to be located near an Arsenal. I actually think it was Woolwich Arsenal, which is where they were before moving to Highbury, but I could be wrong. Anybody know?
 
heres one for everyone which i find very amusing:

"Toffees
Everton, England
Reason: Everton mints, produced in the Liverpool district of Everton, are a popular mint toffee. Before every game at Goodison Park free toffees are thrown into the crowd by the famous Toffee Lady, dressed in a traditional skirt, shawl and hat."

i think its time i paid a visit to Goodison Park to get some yummy toffees!mmmmmmmmm

Crap! ;-)

Just kidding, Celtic get called "the bhoys". Thats just pronounced "boys" by the way.

Ah, the fun and games between the old firm!! :-/
 
Come On You Celtic!!!

(flops ducks)

Why they (Rangers) called the Teddy Bears then? They all Elvis Presley fans or summat? :)
 
Lol, rangers are called the gers, but i thought that was pretty obvious. The teddy bears is just another name for them.

Oi floppy, you are not a celtic fan are you?!!! :-(
