Wycombe and Shakespeare

Ahead of the Tottenham clash, how many other teams or players have we faced with names from Shakespeare?

I've got Spurs and Windsor. Did we play Verona in the Anglo-Italian?

    West Ham - let

  • Or Dulwich Hamlet come to that

  • I suspect we've played a few Richards and Henrys (Henries?)

  • Dulwich Hamlet is a good one. Have we ever played Beacon's Bottom?

  • York's definitely one. And there's a theory that (the Earl of) Oxford actually wrote some of the plays credited to Shakespeare.

  • Albion

  • Well we've played Birnam a few times cough

    We were once owned by Shylock

    A*** Sm***'s programme notes were 'a tale told by an idiot...'

    I'm sure there are hundreds more...

  • Sadly I don't think Wycombe ever played against Craig Shakespeare.

  • All's Welling That Ends Welling

  • We've tamed the shrews once or twice

  • Long time since we played Hamlet.

  • Whoops - should have looked at earlier posts!

  • Rovers game abandoned due to Tempest...

  • Is this a football which I see before me,
    Proceeding toward my hand?
    Come, let me clutch thee.
    I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.

    I hear "puck" mentioned a lot at games.

    At least I think that's what they're saying

  • Who could ever forget SALISBURY. A Tempest would have helped that day

  • If you ever saw Duberry's defending, it was a right comedy of errors. Still he soon left so alls well that ends well

    This post made my day.

  • But soft, what useful youngster looking for game time through yonder transfer window breaks?

  • Bayo / Scotty / Paris:
    'When shall we three meet again?
    In thunder, lightening and in rain
    When the battle's fought and done
    When the game at Tottenham's won
    Where the place?
    The half built Lane
    Into the fifth round hat again'

  • Bill Caesar's Handball gave us a Penalty and the eventual win in 1931

  • I apologise, not my finest hour...

  • Your finest hour was at Plainmoor, "Enough to make the angels weep" from Measure for Measure .

  • We'd had a few measures that morning, which didn't help.

  • @cretinho Or art thou but a goalkeeper of the mind, a false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressed bald eagle? I see thee yet, in form as terrible as in this match which we will now draw 1-1.

  • Brian McGorry’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing

    GASROOM: "Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave
    My heart into my mouth: I love Wycombe Wanderers
    According to my bond/witty messageboard posts; nor more nor less."
