  • Founded as Pompeii F.C. , the club had enjoyed success during the Roman Empire. One of its earlier star players had been the Roman General Pompey the Great - and his family followed this tradition by becoming keen supporters of the 'Pumice Ash boys' as they were called in those days as Pompeii played in grey to confuse the opposition teams. In 79 A.D. Pompeii F.C. lost their football ground, supporters, home city and pretty much everyone else when the the volcano Vesuvius blew its top like a player disputing a penalty decision . Only a few of the original team survived including Petrus Pompey Crouch who was away at the time on tour as part of a circus act. Petrus who claimed he was a 'scion' of the Pompey family asked U.E.F.A if he could take the team to Britannia to play over there against assorted local 'crap celtic' teams . U.E.F.A agreed and Pompeii - or 'Pompey F.C.' moved to the south coast of Britannia and constructed a new stadium made out of recycled shopping trolleys.
