yes they r called the ADDICKS. i think its got something to do with their football.........


i know why they call Arsenal the gunners its because be4 Arsenal football club were in Highbury there used to be a Gun factory there or nearby! interesting isnt it!


anyone know what they call Leeds? thats a big question!

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
