Football question help needed

[fah-q]

You bright sparks might be able to help, someone has just asked me to name 3 English league clubs that aren't named after a geographical place.

I think i've got Port Vale but not sure on the other 2.

Arsenal perhaps?

Everton no?

[fah-q]

Crystal Palace was a place as is Aston. Im pretty sure there is a West Ham too.

QPR?
Aston Villa?
West Ham?

There's a place called 'Queens Park' in London. Thought about the Rangers at first then checked.

Googling this question (which I wouldn't dream of doing ) produces differing results, and suggests that there are in fact only two, although even Arsenal is debatable.

[dww]

I think it will be some of the ones already mentioned although I'm pretty sure that they have at least at some point all been geographic locations except Port Vale (Arsenal were originally Woolwich Arsenal).
