The Glaziers were founded by workers at the Crystal Palace exhibition building.

Famous fans include comedians Eddie Izzard and Jo Brand.

Answer: southampton

The Saints, so nicknamed because they started out as a church football team, were founded by members of St Mary's Church of England Young Men's Association.

Based in Birkenhead on the Wirral Peninsula, Tranmere Rovers started out as a combination of the football-playing branches of two cricket clubs, Lyndhurst Wanderers and Belmont.

Answer: everton

The Toffees, also known as the 'School of Science' (after a commentator referred to their style of play as 'scientific'), are the rivals of Liverpool, and - incidentally - the author's favourite team. The nickname is thought to have come from a local sweet shop, and it has been a longstanding tradition for a young girl to dress up as the 'toffee lady' and throw Everton mints into the crowd before a match. Famous fans include La's frontman Lee Mavers and boxer Tony Bellew (who would come out to the theme from 'Z-Cars', just like the Everton team).
