Tim wore his Weatherfield County footy top to Hayley's funeral as his "splash of colour". Or was it Kev's shirt he found in the back of Sally's wardrobe?
Cockney bookie and Weatherfield bad lad Dave Smith owned the football club in the 70s and he also had a bit of a thing for Blanche Hunt. Ken Barlow's brother David used to play for the team in the 60s until he was injured and couldn't play any more.
And in 2005 Martin Platt became the football club mascot, dressing up as a rooster. He got himself into a race against a rival team's mascot, dressed as a fox and they raced against each other. The fox pulled Martin’s tail feathers and he stumbled and fell, leaving the cheating fox to win the race. However, once Martin found out who was in the fox fancy dress, a woman called Robyn, romance blossomed and he ran off to Liverpool to live with her.

I had forgotten about the club, but love when details from the past are remembered. Just like in real life.
