Some football club nicknames have become as synonymous with their official team names, with the likes of Chelsea known as 'the Blues' and Southampton commonly referred to as 'the Saints'.
Premier League team nicknames are pretty self-explanatory, often paying tribute to the club's trademark kit colours or the mascot on their crest and badge.
Other nicknames, however, have a more affectionate and unique etymology, such as Juventus being called 'the Old Lady' and Koln known as 'the Billy Goats'. So what are some other examples? Goal takes a look.
