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.[1][2] The club was named after Williams' hometown club, Port Vale, and its logo was very similar.[3] The club supposedly was disbanded in 2007, reportedly after Williams discovered two players had swindled him out of £200,000.[4][5]
