Dingley Dell F.C.

  • ... that the short-lived English football club Dingley Dell F.C. was named after a fictitious village in The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens? Source: Curry, Graham (2017) "Football in the capital: a local study with national consequences", Soccer & Society, Volume 20, 2019 - says: "Dingley Dell is a fictitious English village in The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens. The author’s popularity, the existence in The Pickwick Papers of a cricket match between Dingley Dell and All Muggleton together with the fact that Dickens’ son, also named Charles was a keen sportsman (he was a rower and athlete), may be among the reasons for the choice of name for the club."
