Also worth noting that Aberdeen's ground, Pittodrie, translates into English as "dung heap".

There was also a theory that it was related to Aberdeen (or one of their three predecessors (one of whom were involved in a record 36-0 scoreline I think)) being formed by teachers, as I understand. I'm not sure that it's even certain that Aberdeen is formed from a contraction of Don and Dee, the two rivers in that city. Apparently there was also more than one theory about the Yeltz, so I suppose what I really mean is can these other theories definitively be dismissed? And then there's the Grapplers. And what was Rigby Memorial School actually in memory of? And I think I read somewhere that Altrincham F.C. used to be called Broadheath Manchester - was this simply a mistake? Interesting stuff.
  You may be thinking of this , Scottish Cup record score ,  Arbroath 36 Bon Accord 0 . Fortunately for BA no added time back then 😂

Amazingly on the same day Dundee Harp beat Aberdeen Rovers 35 - 0. No one ever remembers that though!!
