A pre World War Two team existed called Monkton United, records of which exist with the team playing in 1926.

Notes
    gollark: Want to use [LESS POPULAR VIDEO SHARING SITE]? You pay more.
    gollark: It's not good. It forces you to use the sites they pick.
    gollark: You pay for a service, and they impose arbitrary limits which don't really match up well with the actual constraints on their network infrastructure, and are then gracious enough to not limit it for a certain set of sites (perhaps showing the limits are stupid anyway).
    gollark: It restricts you to using a specific set of sites if you want benefits.
    gollark: It is very evil and anticompetitive.
