Pedants Corner says: Although technically (if it's right, and hopefully it is) the question should be 'demolishing' piece of pork. As once it's demolished, it would be 'wrecked' ham.

Yes, I know - a play on words and all that. Still, you’re mustard!

10. is Tottenham Hotspur - Hotspur being a nobleman under Henry IV and Shakespear character.

The Bard would have been proud of you. Harry Hotspur was killed at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. Taking part in the battle that day was young Prince Hal, later to become Henry V.

When formed, by a group of schoolboys, the club was named Hotspur Football Club after the historical figure and then became Tottenham Hotspur.

4. Modernised fortress - Newcastle

5. Feminists would argue about this name - Mansfield

I don't know if its the norm on other coaches, but on the ST coach to the Spurs home match the steward on the coach always tells us about the history of the club we are playing and went through the history of Spurs at length, it was probably the longest I had heard.
