    Why is the football team called Boreham Wood when the town is called Borehamwood?

    BOREHAM WOOD are travelling to Goodison Park to face Frank Lampard’s Everton in the FA Cup fifth round. They previously beat Bournemouth, who were 74 places above them, in a huge upset.

    But some fans were left confused by the team’s name, which doesn’t match that of the town it represents.
    The non-league outfit are commonly known as Boreham Wood FC, all separate words, but the town is just called Borehamwood, just one word.
    One fan called the club’s name ‘One of life’s great mysteries’…
    One of life’s great mysteries (well, can’t find the answer after 10 seconds of googling)Why is the football club called Boreham Wood Town (two separate words) when the town is called Borehamwood (all one word)?— Louis Mendez (@LouisMend) November 17, 2020

    Where did Boreham Wood originate?
    Boreham Wood FC is a club esteemed in history, based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. There is evidence that the clubs roots come from a ‘Boreham Rovers’ team, playing in 1919.
    Boreham Rovers FC was no more in 1939 when they folded, colliding with World War Two.

    The club was officially established in 1948, as a merger of Boreham Rovers and Royal Retournez.

    In 1947, Boreham Rovers merged with another team called Royal Retournez.
    After an AGM, the club decided to take up the name ‘Wood’ before another team did, and Boreham Wood Football Club was born.
    It is believed that the town was initially called Boreham Wood, as two separate words, and so the football team was named accordingly.
    However, the Hertfordshire town has been interpreted as many different spellings over the years, including ‘Boram Woode’, ‘Borramwode’ and ‘Barham Wood’.
    It is now socially accepted that the town is called Borehamwood, as is regularly seen on street signs.
    This may have started with the renaming of Elstree station to Elstree & Borehamwood in 1953.
    There has never been an official decision to name the town ‘Borehamwood’, but Elstree Council became Elstree and Borehamwood council in 1982 and the one-word name has stuck.
    Boreham Wood FC have simply chosen to stick to tradition, and not change their name to just one word.
    The clubs crest clearly displays the name as TWO words.Credit: Football club badge
    Will their name ever change?
    It is unlikely that the teams name will change now, as they have risen up the ranks as Boreham Wood FC.
    This is a tradition that has now stuck with the club, and long may it continue.
    Who do they play in the next round?
    The FA Cup underdogs face Frank Lampard’s Everton in the fifth round at Goodison Park, and they will be looking to cause an upset to the 16th placed Premier League opposition.

    Who is Danielle Murphy?
    The couple have been together a long time, but while Taylor is consistently uploading his life to social media, Danielle generally keeps her life pretty private.
    She is reportedly a professional hairdresser, and is evidently very fashionable, but her fans seem not to know much about her personal life.
    The blonde beauty is 28 years-old, and also seems to have fallen in love with boxing, as she was spotted on Instagram sparring in the ring.

    Do they have any children together?
    They currently do not have any children aged just 28 and 30 respectively, but it could be on the horizon after they are married.
    When are they getting married?
    The couple finally exchanged rings in December 2020, after being together for 11 years, and announced the engagement on Instagram.
    Taylor proposed to Danielle on a yacht, and was accompanied by his trainer Ben Davison and sparring partner Lee McGregor.
    They are set to be married on June 18th, 2022 in Dumfries and Galloway. It is thought to be a small ceremony with family and friends involved.
    Taylor celebrates his engagement to the gorgeous Danielle.
    Who is Josh Taylor fighting?
    Taylor will defend his undisputed super-lightweight title against Jack Catterall, who will prove a tough test for the Scot.
    The fight takes place on Saturday, February 26, in Glasgow.

    During the weigh in, Catterall grabbed Taylor by the neck, building even more tension before the big event. Taylor responded to this saying: “Tomorrow he will be flat on his back.”

    Scotland national anthem lyrics: All the words to The Flower of Scotland

    SCOTLAND are looking for Six Nations glory for the first time since 1999.And you can rest assured their national song, the Flower of Scotland, will be belted out proudly before the game.
    Scotland line up for the national anthemCredit: PA
    What are the lyrics to The Flower of Scotland?

    O Flower of Scotland,When will we seeYour like again,That fought and died for,Your wee bit Hill and Glen,And stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again.
    The Hills are bare now,And Autumn leaveslie thick and still,O’er land that is lost now,Which those so dearly held,That stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again.
    Those days are past now,And in the pastthey must remain,But we can still rise now,And be the nation again,That stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again. More

    “Tyson Fury coming home to fight under the arch at Wembley Stadium is a fitting reward for the No.1 heavyweight in the world following his exploits across the Atlantic in his epic trilogy against Deontay Wilder,” said Warren.
    While co-promoter Bob Arum said: “Tyson Fury conquered America, and it is only fitting that he defends the heavyweight championship in a packed Wembley Stadium.
    “Dillian Whyte has called for this fight for years, and while he is a deserving challenger, no heavyweight can match the Gypsy King.”
    There has yet to be any announcement on pricing for Fury vs Whyte. More
