Peru’s Deportivo Wanka have developed a cult following, and some not unwelcome UK merchandise sales, on the basis of their name. One club official said: “It is very strange. Everyone in Britain seems to think we have a funny name.”
The club is named after the Wankas people who lived in the region but, perhaps understandably, were not introduced alongside the Incas in your primary school history lesson.
I can hear the shouts now..........come on you Wankas ! :-))
Many years ago Celtic signed a rather expensive Brazilian called Raphael Schidt, and he played at the back, alongside Oliver Tebilly, later of Birmingham. Imagine if they had signed David Weir as well, and played 3-5-3 that season?
The back line would have read Weir, Tebilly, Schidt.
