Forged in the fires of industry in 1886, the lads of Motherwell Football Club have been kicking the ball about at their stomping grounds of Fir Park Stadium ever since. All the while, nestled in the heart of Lanarkshire, Scotland.
According to our friends over at Transfermarkt, the Motherwell ragtag assembly of booters is valued somewhere in the region of around £9.5m, although I'm sure more than a few of us reckon they're worth at least a bob or two more than that.
Regardless, Motherwell harbour a large squad of 48 players, a mix of budding young talent and some weathered heads alike, all with an average age of 23. A fine balance between youthful exuberance and world-weary wisdom, if you ask me.
In the recent spell, Motherwell have been audaciously duking it out worthy adversaries in three competitions. Holding their own in the Premiership, they find themselves sitting pretty at 8th place. While in the League Cup, our lads were able to battle their way to the Semi-Finals. Rounding out the triumvirate, they managed to progress as far as the Fourth Round in the Scottish Cup. An honest bit of footie from a diligent band of lads, I'd say.
