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”.

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!
