Parktool is a Dundee based engineering company. It was founded in the early 80s by Chris Mudie and has grown from strength to strength ever since. In 2003 Chris provided the team with it's first cash injection allowing us to purchase the 1st strips used by the club.
The sponsor displayed on our 1st strip, Sidlaw Travel, is a local based travel company. This sponsorship deal was secured by Gerry Mooney during a booze filled night in MacDaniels Pub, Dundee.
Our 2nd + 3rd strips were funded by W.M.G.P. - A sugar daddy to the club's medical practice, thanks Mr C!
Our sponsor in the 07/08 season was McDaniels, a special thanks to John Hutchy for your support.
Our current sponsor is Braes Pub (Perth Road, Dundee)
Parktool Athletic entered the Saturday Morning Friendly League at the start of the 2003/4 season. Current squad members who featured in the first couple of games are Gerry Mooney, Colin Crosbie + Ally Pretswell.. Our first ever game, a cup game, resulted in a 9-1 defeat against the Cartel.
To date Parktool Athletic have Four trophies to their name, The Pre-Season Cup that was won on penalties at the start of the 2005/06 season against Woodside FC. The League Title and Referee's Cup double in the 2006/07 season. The Pre-Season Cup in 2008/09.
This is a clear sign of the progress this club is making and will hopefully be a sign of things to come in what looks to be a bright future.
The 08/09 season saw some players come and go. In what was probably the busiest transfer window since Parktool began, we saw the signing of several new and exciting players but also the departure of a couple of players.
Here's to a new and hopefully successfull 2009/10 season!
PTAFC FOR LIFE!!!!!! |
