| Auckland F.C. |
Wie geht's?
In praise of Auckland F.C.
Apart from being my birthplace (my mountain is Maungakiekie), Auckland is also the place I played a lot of football (I represented Auckland in youth grade football teams while playing for Eden F.C. and Mt Albert Grammar).
Auckland City is also home to Nu Zild's largest population and some of our teams like The NZ Breakers, The Warriors, and the Auckland Blues.
Sadly, an A-League football team hasn't managed to sustain itself in Auckland.
The Football Kingz (1999-2004), morphing into the New Zealand Knights (2005 - 2007), were both based in Auckland and both failed to establish themselves.
Now we have Auckland F.C. and my hopes are high. I have never been able to embrace the Wellington Phoenix (which grew out of the failed Knights), so I felt a dose of pride when Auckland F.C. kicked off their season with a home win at Mt Smart, recently.
I even decided I needed a replica shirt!* Go Auckland F.C.!

It's eerily similar to Rochdale F.C.'s kit.
