Hampshire CCC is fine of course
Not really, since the state name is actually part of Bayern's full name, which isn't true of Southampton. About the only direct British equivalent I can think of is Golspie Sutherland FC. Plus oddities like Glasgow Perthshire FC, which are connected to a charity funding places at Glasgow universities for kids from Perthshire.
Well, Derby County... which is a bit like saying F.C Derbyshire, and ignoring the mighty Chesterfield FC, and Borrowash Victoria AFC
