Recent History

In the 2006/7 season the Celebs pipped Legoland FC to land their third league title and leap-frog giants Legoland United to become the second most successful side in the history of the league. The championship was sealed in style with a 3-0 away win over second placed Legoland FC at a packed Partizan stadium in Legoland City. After the triumph Celebs' owner, Mr Prints, claimed that the club "proved to all, to be the best football team in Legoland". The Nirut club however could not repeat the feat in the following campaign as they were beaten into fourth place by Legoland FC, Legoland United and Inter Police.

Celebs' patron Mr Prints took out the cheque book in the Summer of 2008 in a bid to get his team back to the summit of Lego football. Amongst the signings, attacking duo Alexandre Pato and Lionel Messi were brought in for £15m and £14m respectively in a rare spending spree by the infamously tight football club.

History

The Legoland Footballing Celebs are based in the city of Nirut and were formed when leading businessmen in Legoland got together to construct a club dedicated to themselves, the rich elite and aristocrats of the nation. As one of the major pushers for the establishment of the 1995 SuperLeague, the Celebs saw it possible to buy their way into the football elite.

The club is owned jointly by a number of the country's top businessmen, Mr Cadbury, Mr Legoda and Mr Prints, who is the key shareholder and president. Mr Prints also owns the majority of the printed media in Legoland including famous newspapers such as The Legoland Times, The Financial Times, Lego News and UASL Global. Mr Cadbury is a key businessman in Legoland and owns the confectionery firm Cadbury whilst Mr Legoda owns the car manufacturers Legoda Motors.

The Celebs, or Slobs as they are commonly called, developed an infamous transfer policy in the early years that saw the club fill the coffers. Players, mainly from ND Land would be snapped up for relatively cheap fees only to be sold back to clubs, often again from ND Land, for anything from five to ten times the price after just a few months, sometimes even within weeks if not days.

One such example of this transfer policy occurred in the Summer of 2001. On the 7th May 2001, club president Mr Prints injected £5m into the club transferring the funds from his printing firm. The club's other rich patrons, Mr Legoda and Mr Cadbury, both injected an additional £2.5m each. At the time the money was much needed by the Celebs as the side had been unable to lure top class players due to limited funds. Among Celebs' first acquisitions with their new source of funds was Plasticland Empire midfielder Mehmet Scholl who joined in a £5m deal. However, ND Land's most famous side, ND Land FC, soon afterwards issued a statement declaring their shock at not being told of Scholl's availability. In a club statement, ND Land FC expressed their anger saying that they were very unhappy at not being informed of his availability and that the club would have paid in excess of the £5m fee the Celebs had forked out. Six days later Mehet Scholl left the Celebs for ND Land FC after an £8m fee was agreed. Mr Prints explained his satisfaction at ending the feud by commenting, "it is good, they are happy now, and so are we. We did good business".
