Which European football club has 5 vowels in its name, all alternating with a consonant and all these 5 vowels are the same letter...?

I expect someone will get it straight away but I was amazed when I first heard it.

Yep.  

As someone pointed out GTFC used to have a ground (or two) in Grimsby. And I deliberately said 'town' so Manchester doesn't count.

Ah, true but they're not called 'Town' and I'd count Wimbledon FC as the same club (morally) and they did play in SW19 before going to Selhurst.

Wimbledon might have been the answer to the cemetary question - they're very close to Kingston graveyard.

Jurgen Klinsmann (Tottenham), Andre Schurrle (Chelsea) and either Karl-Heinz Riedle (Liverpool) or Fredi Bobic (Bolton). I would say Riedle is more likely, but his spell at Liverpool was fairly average so I'll go with Bobic. Unless Ballack got one?

OK,  how about a Town based question to get your teeth into?

If you listed all the players who have scored for Grimsby since dropping down to the Conference in alphabetical order (by surname), who would be at the top of the list and who would be at the bottom?

I'm fairly sure that Zhang Enhua never scored in The Conference/National League for us.

Andrew Wright scored at FGR when we drew 3-3 there, first season at this level. The game was on a Thursday night and was shown live on TV.

I'm guessing Aston Villa.

Louis is Prince William's last name and August is the sort of name that these German royals like.
