Re: Lincoln - Facts.
Footy club nicknamed The Imps after a stone sculpture of one such on the cathedral. Legend is that a real imp was sent to Lincoln to do mischief but was turned into stone by an angel.
Seems a plausible story- I'm sure Lincolnshire was full of imps and angels back in times of yore.

When I last went to thier ground they had a Muppet who would sound an air raid siren every time they got a free kick or corner. I bet he has progressed to a drum.

Re: Lincoln - Facts.
Lincoln once had a player named Willie Gamble, who came on as sub in a 4th division game at the Turf when they pasted us 4-1(?). B****rds! Willie got a massive cheer from the Clarets fans when his name was announced. Think it was around 1989?

There is a silent "L" in Lincoln, and therefore it should be pronounced Incoln.

Lincoln is a prick
Re: Lincoln - Facts.
We played them away in the mid 70's , might have been a cup game. One of their guys fought one of our top guys and wiped the floor with him on a village green outside a pub. Afterwards, he thanked our prostrate hero, as he told us that no one else down there would fight him!
Another of our supporters who was never involved in any trouble was hospitalised after the game when around 10 of theirs jumped him.
We aren't looking for revenge now we are all in our sixties!

Re: Lincoln - Facts.
Lincoln was formed after invading hordes from the North en route to a race meet at Market Rasen stopped for a pint in the locality. After becoming disorientated due to the lack of a hill of any note they decided to return home, but not before naming the place after their home town "Colne"

Lincoln used to play in green but Robin Hood and his Merry Men stole that colour and they had to switch to red stripes.

Re: Lincoln - Facts.
Fittingly for a city which started out as a fortress, Lincoln’s contribution to modern warfare was the invention of the tank. Built by William Foster & Co during World War One, the very first tanks were tested on the area now occupied by Tritton Road.
