Yoker Athletic F.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yoker Athletic Football Club are a Scottish football (soccer) club based in Clydebank near Glasgow. Yoker is an area of Glasgow adjacent to Clydebank, however Yoker's stadium lies just outside the Glasgow boundary. Nicknamed the Wee Ho, they were formed in 1885 and are based at Holm Park. They currently operate in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and play in blue and white strips (uniforms).
Since Clydebank F.C. entered the junior level in 2003-04 they have shared a healthy rivalry with Yoker Athletic.
Yoker Athletic can boast of a mention in Scottish Literature; James Kelman's novel A Disaffection features the main character attending a match at Holm Park.
