Like Forest Green Rovers. I'm thinking Partick Thistle too for their rejection of sectarianism. If you are a bit lefty you might consider FC St Pauli or Dulwich Hamlet as well.

Any others?

Biggest bunch of helmets in football. Along with the aforementioned St Pauli , Clapton and Eastbourne Town.

I upset St Pauli fans away to 1860 Munich in 1993 by asking 'so you're anti fascist yet your team wears brown shirts? '

How about this lot?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corinthian_F.C.

I knew about them refusing to defend or score from penalties, but there are some other great stories on there. Strictly amateur, mostly from public schools, they were still able to hold their own against professionals at the turn of the century, e.g. beat the Bury team that won the 1903 FA Cup with a record 6-0 score 10-3 in a friendly, and gave Manchester United their heaviest ever defeat - 11-3. Featured Scotland's first black international player (Nigel Quashie was the second), a man who scored 14 goals for England despite only ever playing in brogues, and a man who also scored a century at Lords, won an Olympic gold medal at tennis, scored a 147 break in snooker, and once beat Charlie Chaplin at table tennis despite playing with a butter knife.

The club was also the inspiration for Corinthians of Sao Paulo. Their successor club, Corinthian Casuals, who play in the Isthmian League, have 150,000 Facebook followers as a result, have match reports in Portuguese, and once played a friendly against the Paulistas where Socrates turned out for both sides.
