Knocklyon Celtic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knocklyon Celtic was formed in 2003 by Mr. Derek Madden and Mr. Colm Killeen. The decision to form this club was reached in the Blue Haven Public House, Dublin, Ireland. The club was formed with a view to be the ‘most professional amateur club in the world’. Initially the club encountered difficulties securing sponsorship and fees from players, however somehow the club managed to get by and succeeded in getting going. The club progressed quickly and by the 05 / 06 season were league champions. This success has lead the press to refer to the club as "GALACTICOS" a term often associated with Spanish Giants Real Madrid. Having gained this status the club was flooded with offers of sponsorship, eventually a deal was reached with an Irish Web Hosting Company ‘Web World’ both parties refused to disclose the value of this deal but it is believed to be a substantial sum.
