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 1st strip was chosen by Colin Crosbie and Gerry Mooney.
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, Whitehall Crescent in Dundee.
The owner of Sidlaw Travel, Bob Costello, was more than happy to help the team out and said that seeing Sidlaw Travel on the shirt is enough to bring a tear to a glass eye.
Our new strip was funded by W.M.G.P. - A sugar daddy to the club's medical practice, thanks Mr C! Our other sponsor and pub of choice is MacDaniels, a special thanks to John Hutchy, you'll double your money in the first quarter of the financial year!
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, Jim Roberts and 'Nasty' Nick Sturrock. Our first ever game, a cup game, resulted in a 9-1 defeat against the Cartel, we had 10 men for the whole game. Nasty Nick got on the score sheet and Colin Crosbie scored an own goal. Gerry Mooney was a no show and this spawned a hate campaign by Ally Pretswell to force Mooney into the wilderness. Bad organisation and lack of persuance on Pretswell's part resulted in Gerry Mooney remaining with the club. Both remain sworn enemies to this day.
To date Parktool Athletic have one trophy to their name, a cup that was won on penalties at the start of the 2005/06 season against Woodside FC. 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.
PTAFC FOR LIFE!!!!!! |
