Young Boys is one that I don't think I'll get my head around. A youth team who evolved into a professional team?

Michael Jackson was their most high profile celebrity fan.

Deportivo Wanka is even better.

Who wouldn't want one of these?



We went trekking in the Andes a few years ago, and ended up in Huancayo. We tried to take in a Los Wankeros game but after driving round for a bit the taxi driver admitted defeat. Turns out the team had moved to play their games a few thousand metres higher in the Andes to try to gain themselves a cunning advantage. Even higher than The Hawthorns apparently.
