Dukla Pumpherston
Dukla Pumpherston is a charity football team based in Scotland, and is captained by Scottish football pundit Chick Young.〔("Celebrity charity match at Firhill" ), Partick Thistle FC official website, 25 February 2009〕
The name was based on the fictional team "Dukla Pumpherston Sawmill and Tannery" created by Tony Roper in 1980s comedy programme ''Naked Radio''; the name is a comic juxtaposition of the sophisticated European-sounding name of Czech team Dukla Prague with that of tiny Scottish village Pumpherston. Roper himself has also played for the team.〔
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 worthy causes. They have been described as "a drinking team with a football problem". The ''ad hoc'' roster (or that of similarly informal opposing charity teams) has, at various times, included football broadcaster Chic Charnley,〔 politician Tommy Sheridan,〔 boxer Willie Limond,〔("Stars set to shine for charity day in Wishaw" ), ''Hamilton Advertiser'', 30 April 2008〕 airport worker John Smeaton,〔("Stars come out for Wishaw charity match" ), ''Hamilton Advertiser'', 27 May 2008〕 and footballers Ally McCoist,〔 Neil Lennon,〔 Jose Quitongo,〔 Frank McAvennie,〔("Fans turn out in force to honour Johnstone Burgh" ), ''Paisley Daily Express, 11 June 2008''〕 Gordon Smith,〔〔("The Wembley miss that has become a myth" ), Phil Shaw, ''The Independent'', 28 November 1996 (via findarticles.com)〕 Gerry McCabe,〔("Charity is the winner" ), Dumbarton FC website, 15 September 2008〕 Jim Duffy,〔 Billy Dodds,〔("Radio Clyde What's On" ), Radio Clyde community calendar, 20 May 2006〕 Gerry Britton,〔 Jim Chapman,〔 Brian McPhee,〔 and Brian Martin.〔
Dukla is not a regular member of the Scottish amateur league system; the team only plays occasional exhibition matches, generally in support of charity. Due to the informal nature of the games and the widely varying ages and footballing histories of the players (and those of their opponents) Dukla matches are generally friendly, light-hearted affairs. One exception was an October 2008 match against a team of MSPs and other politicians; the match was abandoned after three politicians were sent off and players from both sides squared up to each other.〔("MSP match abandoned after clash" ), ''BBC News'', 29 October 2008〕〔("Maradona could learn so much from our foul-minded MSPs" ), Brian Morton, ''The Guardian'', 2 November 2008〕〔("Disgraceful, foul-mouthed thugs – that's our footballing MSPs, according to Chick Young" ), David Maddox, ''The Scotsman'', 29 October 2008.〕
