I took these to massive success of FM11!!

Knattspyrnudeild UMFG, commonly known as Grindavík, is the football subdivision of the Ungmennafélag Grindavíkur athletic club located in the town of Grindavík in south-west Iceland.

The club has established itself as a premiership side in the last few years, but is yet to win any titles. Sigurður Jónsson was appointed manager before the 2006 season, after a successful period at Víkingur. Lee Sharpe of Manchester United fame played for them for a brief time. In the season of 2006, Grindavík got relegated for the first time in their history. In September 2006 when just 3 rounds to end, Sigurður Jónsson resigned as a manager and his assistant manager, Milan Stefán Jankovic took control. They made a draw against Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar, 1:1, in the last round, but it was clear before the game that they needed to win. Sigurður Jónsson was named as manager of Djurgårdens IF in December 2006. On September 22, 2007, Grindavík won a promotion back to the Landsbankadeild after a 6-0 win over Reynir Sandgerði, with still one round unplayed.

Also Shola's brother Tomi currently plays for them



US Quevilly in France, have got to the French FA cup final twice in the last 3 years despite being in the third division. Last season they were beaten 1-0 by Lyon

Berliner FC Dynamo (commonly Dynamo Berlin or BFC Dynamo) is a German association football club and is the successor organization to the club that played in East Berlin as Dynamo Berlin from 1953 to 1966.

The club was re-established on 15 January 1966 as Berliner Fußballclub Dynamo (BFC Dynamo) when the football department was disassociated as a football club in a general re-organisation of football in the country. Dynamo Berlin quickly returned to first division play after a single season's absence and would soon become infamous under the patronage of Erich Mielke, head of East Germany's Stasi (the secret police), for the various means used to manipulate the outcome of the team's games and ensure its dominance.

Playing in the DDR-Oberliga BFC won ten consecutive titles from 1979 to 1988 assisted by crooked referees, unfair player transfers from other teams and assorted other unsportmanlike practices. Dynamo was reviled by many of the citizens of Berlin and the cheating was so blatant that it incurred the unofficially expressed displeasure of the country's ruling Politburo. Alleged Manipulation of the 1986 championship match between Dynamo and Lokomotive Leipzig which ended in a 1:1 draw led to nationwide protests, but resulted only in sanctions against referee Bernd Stumpf.

Nowadays they play in the 5th division and are infamous for its right-wing extremist hooligans which have even advanced to the management of the club.

For starters.

NK Siroki Brijeg.



They finished a respectable 2nd place in the Bosnian Premier League this season. And this man (below) is the impressively named Dragan Mijatovic and is the clubs physio.

Isn't he on trial for crimes against humanity or something?

I think they went bust in the 90's and were relegated to a lower division, but various incarnations have, and I think still do exist.

And, of course, there's this classic tune.
