"It is often said that 'Queen of the South' is the only team mentioned in the Bible - but I can find many mentions of 'Bury' (starting in Genesis 23) and 'Reading' (Acts 8:28), and, stretching a point, 'Hearts' and 'Wolves' also get some space. Are there any others I've missed out?" asks George Chilvers.
There are biblical references aplenty, George, so best to get the most tenuous ones out of the way first. Psalm 80:13 mentions, "Boars from the forest ravage it and the creatures of the field feed on it", while Genesis 12:15 notes, "And when Pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace." Isaiah 41:7 even manages to (sort of) cover two Premiership clubs: "The craftsman encourages the goldsmith, and he who smooths with the hammer spurs on him who strikes the anvil."


But we can do better. Jeremiah 50:25 reads: "The Lord has opened his arsenal and brought out the weapons of his wrath, for the Sovereign Lord Almighty has work to do in the land of the Babylonians." There are also the three mentions of Bolivian club The Strongest; in Samuel 11:16, Chronicles 5:2, and Daniel 3:20, while Brazilian outfit Corinthians even share their name with two books in the bible.
"There are a few occurences, discounting the use of place names in Israel that still exist and have teams or places names in Latin America named after Biblical references," adds John Morrow. "In the New International Version you can find Grasshoppers [Zurich] a number of times (eg Numbers 13:33), while Aurora (a club in Guatemala) occurs a number of times in the Spanish language Nueva Versión Internacional (eg Job 3:9), as does Uruguayan side Defensor (eg Proverbs 23:11)."

But our favourite has to be this - somewhat dubious - suggestion from Bill Wright, relating to Proverbs 13:23: " A poor man's field may produce abundant food, but injustice sweeps it away." Something Stags fans will probably get quicker than most.
