Los Angeles Vale F.C.

L.A. Vale was a soccer team founded in 2005 by British singer Robbie Williams. Williams formed the club with other celebrity friends after building his own soccer pitch at his home in Los Angeles. The club was named after Williams' hometown club, Port Vale, and its logo was very similar. The club supposedly was disbanded in 2007, reportedly after Williams discovered two players had swindled him out of £200,000.
