Dukla Pumpherston

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dukla Pumpherston is a charity football team based in Scotland, and is captained by Chick Young the diminutive Scottish football pundit.

The name was based on the mythical team "Dukla Pumpherston Sawmill and Tannery" created by Tony Roper, sometime in the 1980s for the Naked Radio show as a sophisticated European-sounding name for a small Scottish football team (based on Dukla Prague and the Scottish village of Pumpherston).

The players have been described as a motley crew of former professional players and television personalities who tour the country - indeed the world - enjoying themselves while raising cash for excellent causes.

They are best described as a drinking team with a football problem.

Other team members include Tommy Sheridan.
