Mc Lucky FC

Well, what can I say about this little, cosy, chapalang football team that was created out of the blue by a bunch of innocent Marist brothers who just wanted to play football.The first question that comes to everyone must be - How the hell did the name come about? Hmmm, actually that's a very good question. Just that I don't really have a good answer to that question. The origins of the name of this team is somewhat dubious.

The founders of the team were frantically trying to organise themselves for what would be their first forray into competitve football.One of the founding brothers, a certain Andy Kong who rose to fame for his ability to dribble the ball to the far corners of the pitch (in a Diouf-like style) to gain a corner kick as well as his knack of scoring goals from his heroic slides, discovered that a football competition was to be held in Sentosa. Andy had an easy time convincing the rest of the Marist brothers to sign up for the competition. So on 1 sunny sunday, the whole gin gang met at world trade centre to sign up for the competition.

The Marist Brothers thought that they had everything they needed. But wait a minute, they did not actually have a name for their team. So the brothers made their way to the nearest McDonalds where they started to engage in an animated discussion. Many names were thrown into the ring. I really cannot remember what the hell those names were now. They were that crappy. Not to say that the final name wasn't crappy. Just that it was the least crappy of the lot.Anyway, names after names came and went. But none received a unanimous agreement from the brothers.

Out of the blue, a certain smart Alec, affected by scenes of people munching on their delicious Mc Chicken, Big Mc, Mc Nuggets, and god-knows-wat Mcs and slurping on their Mc FLurry, threw out an extremely dubious and absolutely crappy name - Mc Lucky Football Club.And surprise surprise, no one had any violent objections to the bloody dubious name.
Perhaps everyone was just exhausted by the discussion and wanted to get it over and done with.
Mc was added to the name just because the Marist Brothers happened to be in a bloody MacDonalds restaurant. And Lucky was added in to add an element of luck to the team. Since the Marist Brothers were not really blessed with Ronaldo-like skills or Steven Gerrad-like tenacity, they reckon that a little bit of luck wouldn't do any harm. The smart Alec was pleased with himself.
And so it happened. Our captain- the legendary Ong Wei De put pen to paper- Mc Lucky Football Club.

A chapalang team was born.
