The White City (Soccer)

The local soccer team I have been playing for is well-known in our area. It has been running for over twenty years and is made up of fifteen to twenty men from the local area.

It was named the White City, as this was the nick name given to the area surrounding the football fields. The area is full of white houses stretching as far as the eye can see.

There is nothing special about this team name to anyone who would see it for the first time, but to the local people the team is legendary.

The team have been involved in all types of fund raising and helping local charities and for these reasons the local people respect and commend the team on all their efforts.

We have not been a tremendously successful team on the pitch but our activities off it have been worth the effort.

Maybe a name is not as important as what the name stands for.
