The most hilarious five-a-side football team names in Glasgow

What's in a name? Well if you're Shakespeare or a five-a-side football team, quite a lot.

And while we’re not 100 per cent sure if the Bard played in his local league, we know that if Will did happen to have a team, he would have given serious thought to their branding.

After all, selecting your squad’s moniker can be even more pressure than a nail-biting penalty shoot out.

It’s your chance to earn respect from the opposition, play some mindgames or at least give them a chuckle.

And it's no surprise that teams in Glasgow bring bags of imagination and humour to the pitch.

We’ve scrawled through the fixtures and league tables on the Goals Football website to find the best team names in the city. Take a look!

Goals Aloud

Taking their name from another ultra-talented quintet, Goals Aloud kicks things off with a pun as frothy and fun as Cheryl, Nadine, Sarah, Nicola and Kimberley. Clearly this squad don't need us to call the shots or give them any good advice - this name is an instant hit.

Fenerbackache

What's the beautiful game without a bit of pain? This team mixes the common football injury with the Turkish football team Fenerbache. Inspired.

4 and a hawf men

You’ll have to excuse this team for their inability to count properly, they were obviously too ‘Messi’ when trying to think of a name. Playing in the Premier Division at Goals Glasgow West, these lads have been inspired by American sit com and a dash of classic Glasgow patter.

Neymar Sad Songs

The Brazilian football star Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior may not be familiar with this city's five-a-side squad (or any sad Scottish tunes either) but who cares? This name is that ultimate tribute to the Paris Saint-Germain forward mixed with some classic Glaswegian optimism.

Tesco Meal Deals

Who doesn't love a Tesco Meal Deal? Good value and offering a little something for everyone - we can't think of a more boastful name to be honest. Whether their football is as good as their moniker we're not sure. But hey, every little helps.

Pathetico Madrid

Playing in Sunday's Premier League 1, FC Pathetico Madrid intertwined their ‘pathetic’ sense of humour with the Spanish football giants Atletico Madrid for the ultimate play on words.

Inter Malamb

It’s usually Aberdeen who are compared to sheep, but for this Saltyre Tuesday league team, they have chosen to combine the Italian team Inter Milan and maybe their very own pet lamb? If there is a sheepish mascot, please send pics.
