Soccer Puppies
The Soccer Puppies is a nickname for the Fort William Football club in Scotland, based out of Fort William in Lochaber, Scotland, as well as their ultras.
The name derives from their performance in the 2017-2018 season, when they finished with -7 points. A consequence of an SPFL penalty when Fort William FC fielded an ineligible player for 3 games (losing 3 points per game). That ineligible player was in fact a golden retriever, who was given a custom jersey, and added to the roster under the pseudonym, Buddaigh MacDug.
From his tenacious performance, and the subsequent shame of having the worst single season record of any football team - ever - the team was given the moniker "The Soccer Puppies" by the Scottish Football community.
