10) Young Boys Berne: The Swiss Axpo Super League side, in Champions League play-off action against Spurs after knocking out Fenberbahce, have won 11 titles and six Cups. Have significantly reduced their comedy potential since knocking down the Wankdorf Stadium - leading to the classic headline 'Young Boys plan new Wankdorf erection - and replacing it with the less gigglesome Stade De Suisse.

9) Wankie FC: Zimbabwean Premier League side who brought rare moments of comedy to Robert Mugabe's fiefdom before "pulling a Wankdorf" and changing their name to Hwange Colliery FC.

6) KFC Winterslag: Dutch side who merged with K. Waterschei S.V. Thor Genk in 1988 to become Racing Genk. Have won the Belgian league twice since.

5) SC Feucht: Bavarian side whose name mirrors their attendances - they averaged 154 spectators per game in 2007/08.

2) Deportivo Wanka: Peruvian team named after an ethnic group, the Wankas, based in the Andes who speak the language Wanka Quechua. Haven't played in a league since 2004, when they pulled out after protesting their relegation. Still play in the Copa Peru.

1) Semen Padang: Indonesian Premier Division champions, named after the local Semen cement firm. The hardness of their product is not in doubt.
