    After being bored at work, I asked my work mate to find the most irregular VALID football nickname he could - and I bet him a fiver I could get it (this being because I spent most of my Child hood either reading about football, watching, playing and finding out everything I could about the game...sad, yes.)

    Alas, he came back with these - see if you can get them WITHOUT using the Internet.

    1. Which team is nicknamed 'The Flash Flamingoes'...

    2. Which team is nicknamed 'The Kangaroos'...

    3. Which team is nicknamed 'The Urban Warriors'...

    I got all three although the first one took me some time. I didn't use the internet, however I did use an old football book for the first one - the latter two I just knew.

    Have fun.

    Club teams or national?</p>

    Are we talking worldwide?</p>

    I'm thinking I should know the last two...</p>

    No and No. But not bad guesses.

    I'll give you a clue, the second one isn't Australian.

    3. kaiser chiefs? just guessing like, although thinking about it, they're probably nicknamed the chiefs!!

    I think that

    the first one is Nigerian, dont know team, but I am sure I have heard the name in connection with some Nigerian player.
    3rd one is South African, maybe Cape Town Ajax?????
    Or I might be totally wrong.
