Old Speckled Men FC (OSM FC) were established in 2017 by a group of Men with a penchant for beer and a yearning for old school football.
During a turbulent opening 4 months of the 17-18 season in the Legal League, turnover of players was high and results left ‘The Speckles’ languishing in the lower reaches of the League. A bottom half finish ensued, albeit with a strong finish after the recruitment of several players in January 2018.
2018-19 was much stronger, with the team benefiting from a settled squad and consistent formation under the guidance of co-founder Greg Hadley. A strong campaign resulted in a 5th place in the league and a good run to the quarter finals in the Cup.
Their third season, 2019-20 was tougher than expected and a rough ride for the new guys at the helm of OSM, Kieran Karolak and Steve Harrington, with fewer highs than the season before. But, with a revised brand identity, a new sponsor on board and eagerness to get out on the pitch after months of disruption, optimism is high again as we look on at the season ahead.
