Teams named after people

The Legend
I'm bored. Most teams are named after towns or neighborhoods, but some are named after people. Name some (towns named after people don't count!).

St. Johnstone (Perth, Scotland)
O'Higgins (Rancagua, Chile)
Vasco de Gama (more than one)
Newell's Old Boys (Rosario, Argentina)
Presidente Hayes (Asuncion, Paraguay)
Carl Zeiss Jena (Germany) -- This is a stretch.
St. Mirren (Paisley, Scotland)
Kirkintilloch Rob Roy (Scotland)
St. Patrick's Athletic (Dublin, Ireland)

Of course there's Jomo Cosmos and Kaiser Chiefs in South Africa named for their founders and their respective NASL clubs.

Name some more.

Keirrison (wow what happened to him) who was named after Keith Richards and John Morrison has a team named after him called CFK9.

Mohammed Kallon had Kallon FC who he played for too.

O'Higgings (Rancagua, Chile. Club is named after the chilean liberal hero Bernardo O'Higgings

Guillermo Brown in Argentina (I made a joke about them once in my Huracan FM thread), José Gálvez and Juan Aurich in Peru. There's lots of them in South America if you browse through the lower leagues.

You're right about that. Here are some examples from my recent FIFAM 10 editing in CONMEBOL (I've had to research those countries :) ):

Arauco Prado (Bolivia)
Teodoro Gomez (Ecuador)
Fernando de la Mora (Paraguay)
