Drumchapel Amateur F.C.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drumchapel Amateur Football Club is a football (soccer) club from the village of Duntocher, near Clydebank in Scotland. Formed in 1950 in the Drumchapel area of the city of Glasgow, they are nicknamed "the Drum". The club presently competes in the Caledonian Amateur Football League and is viewed as one of the top amateur clubs in the country, winning the Scottish Amateur Cup most recently as 2005, defeating Gartcosh in the final at Hampden Park. A team with a proud history they have been the starter for many players who would turn professional such players as Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes, Andy Gray, Archie Gemmill, Asa Hartford and John Robertson.

Team strip (uniform) colours are red and black. Drumchapel Amateurs play their home games at Glenhead Park, which is the former home of junior club Duntocher Hibernian F.C.. When Duntocher Hibs became defunct Drumchapel moved in, meaning that they no longer play home games in the area that gives them their name. It does mean they have one of the best facilities of any amateur teams in Scotland. They presently have tenants in the form of junior club Clydebank F.C. who play their home games at Glenhead.
