    Anyone heard of these guys?

    some info from wiki:

    The club was founded in 1969 as Mangaung United FC. In 1984 businessman Petros Molemela took over the club and changed the name to Bloemfontein Celtic (after Celtic F.C.). In November 2001, after the relegation of Phunya Sele Sele, Molemela sold his shares in the club to Demetri "Jimmy" Augousti, a former Celtic player.
    After only three years out of the top-flight, the club regained its PSL status with an impressive season in 2003/04 when they were crowned First Division champions. They also managed to win the 2005 SAA Supa 8 and the 2007 Telkom Charity Cup.

    Both myself and my Dad have their shirt. I went to South Africa on a school football tour in 2008, and one day we went to a shopping centre, I saw a sports shop with green & white hooped shirts in the window, went straight over thinking they were Celtic shirts & found that it was Bloemfontein Celtic. Bought one to take home for my Dad, then at the prizegiving after the tour, the rest of the lads in the team presented my with one!
