Forget Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United, the most popular football team in the British Isles is Inter MENAN.
But we're not talking about old ladies enjoying a kick-about. The cheeky club name is the one adopted most often by the tens of thousands of players who enjoy a weekly competitive game with their mates.
Scores of small-sided teams are turning their backs on tradition and choosing hilarious handles in the hope it will inspire them to get pun over their rivals.
And a survey of more than 3,000 teams that turn out weekly to play in Soccer Sixes leagues nationwide has revealed full the extent of the naming craze.
The more inventive teams include: A Game Of Throw-Ins, Club Tropicana Drinks FC, Finding Neymar and AC A Little Silhouette Of Milan.
And variations of the most popular have been compiled into a Names Championship league table that has Bayern Neverlosen and Unathletico Madrid vying for top slot.
Six-a-side soccer is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK. Soccer Sixes operate the UK’s largest network of FA-affiliated leagues, with more than 30,000 active players.
Ross Spacey, Soccer Sixes Managing Director, says: “Our players put a lot of time and effort into their team names. It’s a big thing for them.”
“Whether a name makes them play any better is debatable, but it always puts a smile on people’s faces.”

At Soccer Sixes, we get football. That understanding comes from our love of all aspects of the beautiful game: the good, the bad and even the downright ugly.
Every game is different, but we also know that wherever and whenever you play, there are certain things that will always be true.
From 5pm on Saturday December 12th, football fans from England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic will be frantically making travel plans for France.
The 24-team draw for the UEFA Euro 2016 championships will dictate which of the ten venues, from Lille to Lyon will play host to the home nations.
Unfortunately airline bosses will be watching the draw as closely as the most dedicated fans. Within seconds of a team being placed, the price of flights is going to jump.
So if you’re a gambler and are determined to bag a bargain, you should get in quick and book tickets before you know where your team will play.
Of course that could all go horribly wrong so, just for fun, why not try out this Euro 2016 Draw Simulator and predict where your favourites could be playing.
When we checked, England had to take on Russia, Wales were facing off against Belgium and Northern Ireland were drawn in the group of death against Germany, Croatia and Poland.
If only football and real life were as easy to predict.
Teams from the Uckfield Soccersixes league on a Monday evening at Uckfield Leisure Centre are part of an exciting pilot scheme to test the new look Soccersixes website.
