Gableton United is an association football club based in the capital city of the fictional country Herland, Gableton, as the name suggests.

The club was founded in 1963 by Andrei Dziko and John Carshon, who would be captain/vice-captain and would be one of the top ten top scorers. They left there clubs; CSKA Moscow and fictional club St Ambers (there rivals) respectively. The current club manager is Tom Nugent, former defender who took over Darren McRae in 2015. The captain and vice captains are Bakhir Savak (captain) and Liam Jones (vice-captain).

The club play there home games at Totten Park which holds 88,000 people. There previous stadium was Westlible Road (which is occupied by Hulland AFC).

Gableton United, also known as 'The Blue Lions' have won the Herland Premier League title 12 times, (following rivals' St Ambers 18 titles) the Champions League 5 times in 1985, 1996, 2006, 2012 and 2013, the Europa League in 2008 and several lower key tournaments, including Stella Artois Cup and Coca-Cola Cup

The club is co-owned by some of the wealthiest businessmen in the world, including Abdul El-Mahmoud (of Kuwait) and Joel Anderson (of United States). The chairmen are Mohamed Alomah (of Yemen), Tamir Sing (of Bangladesh) and John Carshon, OBE. The club floated at the London Stock Exchange first in 2012. The club was valued by Forbes magazine at $4 million.

Early years (1963-1977)

In 1963, CSKA Moscow confirmed that Andrei Dziko had left the club, on the same day St Ambers striker John Carshon left to "negotiate with the HFA (Herland Football Association) about 'something'". It turned out that Dziko and Carshon wanted to establish a new club "with a fantastic future", in which case Gableton United were established, and their first transfer deal was to bring Primeinster City midfielder Jeremy Richards for £140,000. Compensation was paid to St Ambers and CSKA Moscow, the total was £220,000 (£110,000 each).

The club amazingly won the title in the 1963/64 and 1964/65, gaining support from Herland president Wilson Kennedy. Dziko, Carshon and Richards were known as the 'Terific Three' After 1965, the team never won the title until...

Darren McRae years (1977-1996)

In 1977, the manager of the club promoted 16-year-old Darren McRae from the youth squad, and made his debut against Newington Town in 1977 and scored in 27 of the 38 games and the league was finally won back. Even though Darren McRae was top scorer in every season up to 1996, the team didn't win the league title in 1984, 1986, their first Champions League and 10 years later, their first double Herland Premier League title and Champions League. Darren McRae is the top scorer of the club up to this day.

The 'glory' years

1996 faced good and bad months; in April, the team won the league title and won the Champions League with goals by Darren McRae, who would then retire after 19 years of top level football, and debutante Wilson De La Cruz, from Honduras. In 2002, three of the wealthiest businessmen purchased Gableton United for £140 million, and the first two deals came in two different years (2002-03), with purchases of striker Ricard Jaymc from FC Lylano in 2002 and Ian Berninen from FC Manchirator in 2003, for a total £22 million

Thomas Holman of Frogington Dons then joined the club in 2005 for £12 million. Since 2002, the foreign owners spent £553 million, the record was £18 million for Fernando Montegrado (from FC Manchirator, 2010) and Olecsandr Lychichko (from Dynamo Kiev, 201
