Given the sub title of this part of the forum is "General nonsense", I thought I'd start this to see if anyone can surprise us.

Did you know that "Dundee" is slang for idiot in Nigeria. "Dundee United" being the plural

It apparently came about when a newly appointed coach of the club, one Jim McLean, took his team to Nigeria and embarrassingly lost 4-1 to a local amateur football team called Stationary Stores FC. When Dundee Utd. left the country there was a headline in one of the newspapers which simply read,

"DON'T COME BACK"!!

A legacy I'm sure Mr. McLean would rather not have had associated with himself.

I don't recall reading that but the idea was to encourage others with, perhaps, somewhat lesser known anecdotes.
