Ujpest Dosza, with apologies for the (no doubt numerous) spelling mistakes.

In the UK, the only league club with a J anywhere - unless one has been promoted while I wasn't paying attention - is St Johnstone.

Anyone remember the name of the Russian team we played pre-season early 90's? That might fit one of the missing letters.

Xamax. I know its cheating missing out the neuchatel, but x has gone missing from the list altogether.

And I see your Ventnor and raise you VVV Venlo.

But I can't do j or z. U was tough. I could only think of upper Beeding which the sussex county league seemed to think I was an official of for some time, and used to send me all the match score updates until I got fed up and posted back that they'd won about 28 nil with about 10 goals each from Alan shearer and Frank casper, after which they mysteriously stopped - after the score being posted on the leagues website.
I had already told them that I'd never been to Upper Beeding. I have been to Uckfield though plenty of times including a couple that got called off because it is almost permanently waterlogged for months on end. I'm sure dpinsussex will remember that place.
