Egli Kaja

Trigs - we had an Albanian player a few years ago - can't remember his name - anyone?

The Wimbledon crest of course based on the national flag of Albania given the historical connection between club and country.

That worked well...

Quick bit of googling gives you that our crest is based on the Holy Roman Eagle [Link] (second last paragraph) and a further search shows that with red beaks [Link] sca_esv=13ae6c4d14f331ab&sxsrf=APpeQnsdIHwyhGhYkeU_DXEXL97XJEHvow:1787927814620&udm=2&fbs=ABf TbFVyMZGZf1hfvX9uKjN_-G8c4u0nXx4bEIpwm1lnNH832SMIiTl3t- JZ4hGJOxPbHYQR84vEJkyW62ul7Q3Bkhu9lnQJN2b4NlD2btUk2oQl-hrdHCOE8CWo7Uu6urYAASpO3jeCms- w6ySIHFn- rKFpuap0rGdqFT6LxkFl6ZYOwwvIXbB6wdleba1wh0oHeA7XGoQEFR79H_JhNBb7YU1sF2NKjA&q=holy+roman+eagle &sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4wZiSxsOWAxX5Q0EAHVOeCMYQtKgLegQIGhAB&biw=1920&bih=911&dpr=1

Choughs have red legs...

Airsy - I feel like maybe the chough has been combined with the eagle on the current badge, given that they do have a red beak. Still not a phoenix, I see that…

RK-25 livres to you squire great view too

I read both as being an eagle and the choughs being the pair of birds on top.

Carsh, not a bad call going into the Riverside Stand, c'est combien?

Alan - very true…

Loch Ness obviously...

Its pretty difficult to display a phoenix without the fire, which is either implied by flames or colours, without this they become a non-descript bird or something resembling something else in my view. Being mythical needs the myth to complete the image. Angels without wings, lock Ness without a monster, Vampire without fangs, Stadium MT full of people.... none of the legend works

Sorry Pete - never intended to upset you by making an error :(

Carsh - there were quite a few pairs of shorts on display last night that would have been best swapped for something else

Agreed, DO. The choughs appear at the very top of the original Wimbledon crest, above the double headed eagle. No choughs at all on the AFCW crest, just the eagle. Either way, claiming it's a phoenix is wrong, but considering who said it, understandable.

Apologies - it’s an eagle, though they don’t have red beaks - but then again, neither does a phoenix…

Are people getting into a flap about birds?

Pete - it is and has always been an eagle.

The Luton supporters said Cormick was very quick, so maybe a good signing albeit one with injury risks

Don't know where teacher got the idea it was a phoenix on our crest. I was always under the impression the Wimbledon double headed bird was a chough. This link can't make it's mind up between eagle or chough [Link] whereas this one says eagle [Link]
