Pass and move to 5s

Bienvenida! (a wee touch of Spain) Welcome!
Forget “Shot at Glory”, this is the “real deal”. This is the story of a football teams journey from the drawing board to a meeting with “the team of the century”. Enjoy your visit to our site.

What will we call our new 5’s team? That was the big question on that May morning back in 1991, when Cairns, McVicar and Kelly gathered in a quiet Glasgow office to plan the identity of their new 5-a-side team. For a bunch of unbelievably bad Scottish guys in dodgy strips who were in awe of the mighty Real Madrid the answer was staring them in the face!

It was the early days of outdoor 5’s on astroturf and the guys wanted in on it. A decent team name was high on the list of priorities. After all, they had to compete with the likes of Kaiserslaughtered, The Vikings, AC Milanda, Lazyio, Bayer Neverloosen, PSV Ravioli and of course Sparcelona. So having the right name was almost as good as getting 3 points! They were soon left with some straight choices… "Saturdays or Wednesdays?", "astros or boots?", “Outer” Milan or “Unreal” Madrid? They were a million miles from being “Galacticos…"

…and they didn't really think much about
where the name might take them!
