Effra On Radio 4

Effra gets a mention on this episode of The Museum Of Curiosity.  Sadly it's not our esteemed football team that's being discussed, but instead the underground London river which inspired the first part of our club's name.  Still worth a listen though.

There's an interesting piece about the River Effra here.  "In his book Thames: Sacred River, Peter Ackroyd writes that the Effra took its name from the Celtic word yfrid, meaning 'torrent'."

I suggest we score a torrent of goals this Thursday, to mark this fact.  I for one will yell "Yfrid!  Yfrid!  Yfrid!" when our 5th goal goes in.
