The humble beginnings of Motherwell can be traced back to 1886, and since then, the heart of the team has always been their home ground, Fir Park Stadium. Nestled in Scotland, it's been the stage of countless displays of football artistry and the locale responsible for many an opposition's chagrin.
Don't let the years fool you though; Motherwell may be long-standing, but they're far from static. Transfermarkt values their playing squad at an impressive £8m - not bad for a team borne from humble roots in the industrial heartlands of Scotland.
Indeed, size matters not; they may only have 47 players, but age is on their side with average clocking in only at 23. It's a young squad, but talent and verve often come hand in hand with youth, don't they?
The current season sees Motherwell embroiled in three different competitions, making quite the name for themselves across the board. They're placing a hardy 4th in the Premiership - a position not to breeze over. Then there's the thrilling semi-finals of the League Cup; a testament to their worth in a notoriously tough competition. Even the Scottish Cup has had a dollop of Motherwell's prowess, reaching all the way to the Fourth Round.
