Waterloo Football Club is an English Rugby Union team based at St Anthonys Road, Blundellsands, Merseyside. It celebrated its 125th season in 2007/08, having been founded in 1882 by brothers Sidney and Harry Hall and George Abercrombie. From 1882 until 1884 the club was known as Serpentine after the road near its original ground. In 1884 a dispute prompted a relocation to Waterloo and so the club's name was changed. The club returned to the Blundellsands area in 1892 and has remained there ever since. The team is currently known as Firwood Waterloo after its title sponsor. They play in myrtle green, white and scarlet hooped shirts, green shorts and green socks. Their badge features a Lancastrian red rose with a black griffin in the centre. Former players include Dick Greenwood, Ben Kay, Will Greenwood, Andy Titterrell, Nicola Mazzucato, Watcyn Thomas, Kyran Bracken, Austin Healey, and Paul Grayson.〔(Club Details section of Waterloo's website )〕 == Notes == *In 1977 they were the runners-up in the John Player Cup. *In 1986 they won the Glengarth Sevens at Stockport R.U.F.C *They competed in the top division of English rugby for the first two seasons after the league structure was introduced but were relegated in 1989. *In Season 2003/04 the 1st XV gained promotion to National League Division 2, reached the final of the Powergen Shield at Twickenham and was Rugby World Magazine 'Team of the Year'. *In 2005/06 they secured promotion to National League Division 1. *In 2005 club president and former England women's rugby union international Gill Burns received an M.B.E. for services to sport. *In 2008 the club won the Lancashire Cup for the 7th time in their history. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waterloo FC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
