How the longest name in world football has opened doors for a Welsh club

- By Ed McCambridge

YOU'LL NEVER SING THAT!'

We've all sat next to a bloke at the football who can't get any of the names right.

Annoying as it is, there's one club at which such slip-ups have to be tolerated a little. We're talking, of course, about Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (no, FFT hasn't fallen asleep on the keyboard).

At 58 letters, the Welsh fifth-tier outfit can boast of having the longest, and undoubtedly the most complicated, name in world football.
