Shaq has a favorite soccer team, but which one?
Could it be Liverpool, which is partly owned by Shaq's former teammate LeBron James? Or could it be the Vancouver Whitecaps, partly owned by a different former teammate, Steve Nash? Or what about AC Milan, the team favored by Lakers partner in threepeat-dom, Kobe Bryant? Actually, scratch that. It's definitely not AC Milan. Tell me how my a** tastes, AC Milan.
OK, we're going to level with you: it's Northampton Town. Shaquille O'neal likes Northampton Town, in the English fourth division.
Shaq Likes Northampton Town
This is a video posted on Northampton Town's official Youtube channel. Apparently O'Neal and Northampton Town's chairman, Kelvin Thomas, co-own an Internet radio station. Makes sense.
He could totally play goalie for them, though. It'd be a good marketing ploy.

How bad could he be, it's the fourth division! The biggest hurdle to this happening is the fact that there isn't a Shaq-related nickname readily available for this situation. "Big Cobbler" just doesn't have the right ring to it. O'Neal would probably appreciate the shoemaking expertise of the people of Northampton. Dude has huge feet.
