Shakespeare once wrote in his story of star-crossed lovers, ‘What’s in a name?’ as spoken by Juliet to Romeo to suggest that a name is nothing but a convention and has no meaning. However, there’s almost always a story around why a football club has a nickname and more often than not it’s endearing or interesting.
This mini-series will explore the what’s, where’s, who’s and why’s of our Berkshire clubs and their nicknames.
If you’ve got a story about your club’s nickname that you’d like included in our spotlight on your team, do get in touch either via our socials, X or Instagram are your best options, or drop a line here.
